SamuelLoch:
How many car owners did you interact with during your visit to Nigeria?
How many states did you evaluate in the course of your research?
How many cars did you drive to verify your assertions?

By the way, asking just your sister is not enough to generalize your opinion.

I'm not in anyway saying that, "you're wrong..." I can attest to some because I've once had encounter with probably one or two persons but OP, there are many car owners in Nigeria who pamper their cars than anything in their world...

what's the percentage of these owners if I may ask?

there's this mentality of entitlement with nigerians.they expect everyone to be their brothers keepers hence the situation you found yourself.im not a mechanic,but I have fair knowledge of how vehicle works. when I stop to offer assistance,it's for free.your thank you is a enough for me because we never negotiated anything in the first place.
I've had my car jump started with 1k before by a fellow driver.it was agreed upon before he jumpstarted the car.fair enough,but I won't because of that start charging everyone who needs my help for a jump-start. it's always been pro bono.
so next time sir,let the stranded driver know you're a mechanic (unless you're ashamed of your profession) and negotiate your price and terms before providing your services.

unto what end? by the time the repercussions sets in,it will be as if the person was never successful. peace of mind over everything. the food you eat from your honest sweat, is the best meal yet.

whether true or lie na hia we go dey wey the end of the Mata go reach us

tough times ahead for ehailing biz.this 3rd mainland,6 months repairs, is gonna spell doom for the biz. costain is under repairs,Alaka also,mushin road is non existent,ojota,for wia? peeps trapped in traffic will be easy pickings for criminals, especially lone female drivers. businesses will close,jobs will be lost. it's gonna be a long, excruciatingly painful six months.be prepared brethrens, the coming days will be tasking.

Thanks chief. I plan to service it every 6months or 5,000 miles with synthetic oil. But the fuel consumption still bothers me anyways, although I use my ac through out my driving, sometimes heater during rainy days. Do you think my fuel consumption is OK?

you're in the clear sir. just ease on the throttle and brakes bro.

anyibig:
Oohh yes... Sorry for the late reply, turns out the fuel I bought from Nnpc in okota Road lagos was rubbish, had to fill my tank again in petrocam again and I got 260miles when the fuel gauge was on empty. My friend said I can still drive it for another 10miles or so, but I don't want to risk damaging my fuel pump by avoiding it pumping dirts from the fuel tank. Also I fill my tank from E-F with ₦6,000 which is like 50ltrs of fuel. Don't know if that's a good fuel economy or I should be worried��

you're doing very well bro.no cause for alarm, especially if you're driving under Lagos harsh conditions.dont forget to service your cars with synthetic oil.

alkadriyar:
Is it on highway or with city combined?
And please what's your average MPG?
Mine does 28MPG on average without A/C.

at 28mpg,you're doing well.thats over 60 miles on 10 litres,which equals 100km

How I missed this thread I don’t know. For sure it’s not because I never Kazeemize. In fact the true definition of an Autoist like me is the ability to get home with the vehicle at all cost.

I have many to share once I load my USA hard drive but allow me to just drop this gem.

I removed a bad factory Subaru side draft carburator and replaced it with a Peugeot downdraft carburator. This worked but ended up being too tall and stuck out into the trunk. So I improvised a cover.

legend!

Born2conquer:
I work up reading the maintenance manual.
1) How can i get the recommended coolant (Follow come coolant is PINK in colour)
2) How can i get recommended washer fluid ?

pls dont forget recommended oil.use recommended synthetic oil to avoid stories that touch. Congratulations

Thats mean,except youre the one dat stole it. Op, i hope your boss recovers it against all odds

your temperature gauge though. did you remove thermostat?

anyibig:
I don't have check engine light on my dashboard, no warning light at all too

do a tune up bro or drp ur watsapp

if you drive a 2009 to 2013 Toyota Corolla,you're likely to come across the radio/ sound system glitches


these are what I experienced

blank display screen during hot weathers

radio audio is on,but no display

non responsive up/down volume

cd player pops out when adjusting aux cable

if it eventually displays,its splashed on the screen like some black paint work

volume control has mind of its own etc.

the solution........


just push against the display panel as firmly as possible, voilà,you're online with no more bugs.

this is the only proffered solution I have,if anyone has a better solution,let's hear it.thanks



lets know if it worked for you

the rich also cry

Thanks boss...I will like to know the pros and cons of the car...

And I will appreciate if a good mechanic for the car can be recommended as the car is not that popular..


I will appreciate the comments of those that have used this kinda car before
