Let me share my recent experience.
I started using my Corolla October last year and I have been using mobile XHP.
For the first 3months of service I bought the oil myself. The following ones I've been given mechanic money to buy the oil and he always open and put it in my present. After 2 servicing I discovered the check engine light started showing on the dashboard. I have been using it like that but last week when I wanted to do the servicing, I decided to buy the oil myself again from a reliable dealer and the mechanic put it as usual. After like 4 days the check light that has been ON for the past few months disappeared and never show up till this moment. As I'm typing this message a lot of questions are running through my mind especially regarding the mechanic

I guess at the end of the day we can't all make it driving uber/bolt. Without the doubt there are people who this hustle have helped to put their feet on the ground and it also goes the other way round as well.

I can't advice anyone to quit their day jobs for this hustle, as for me I am just too lazy to come and start driving up and down Lagos before I go feed my family--just too lazy for that.

Presently where I work my job demands so much from me in terms of time of resumption and the time I close [it shall never be well for covid-19] but for now I don't see myself leaving my job for this hustle.

I think the hard part of this hustle is staying motivated. If one can stay motivated and disciplined enough for a set period of time then one can achieve, provided your village people allow you drink water and keep cup.

Thank you.

I know borale but this was not borale. I bought borale earlier for my 307 for N60k or so then.

This one was full tokunbo engine as they said. My Rewire told me he had the engine and would sell to me at N130k but I sidelined him and went through someone else to buy it in same Ladipo for that N200k. I later discovered that the seller cheated me as a novice because some parts like kick, nuzzle, and others were not added. I had to give him small nsogbu for him to give me a compressor.

The car is not doing badly now sha, I know how I manage it. I have even placed it on sale for N800k and people are willing to buy it for N600k and N700k. My Rewire has advised me against selling it that cars are very expensive now.

Yes, I am in Lagos.

Now, here goes the story.

I went with my Mechanic to another state to buy the 407. We got there, he test-drove it and everything was fine. We paid and drove the car back to state.

I paid my Mech for all the mechanical works he will need to do on the car including servicing, and that when he is done he should take the car to my Rewire for assessment and electrical fix up.

On checking it, my Rewire was very angry with my Mech for going to buy such abused Lion for me. Rewire said the car was an original LHD that was converted, original diesel engine that was changed to petrol. He was vissibly angry with the Mech guy for misleading me.
I was very surprised because we drove the car interstate and didn't have any issue on the road.

I eventually did the folowing to fix the car.
1. I bought a new BSI, brain box and key (they said it comes together)
2. New fuse box
And some other things I can't remember.

After the rewire was done, I still discovered that the car was doing overheating. I decided to take it to a Peugeot dealer in Mainland to fix. On my way there, the car did overheating four times on the road and it burnt the gasket and some other important parts of the engine and I was told the engine was badly damaged by the overheating. I had to buy this new EW10 engine (full tokunbo) for N200,000.00, I bought selection cable for N25,000 (because the gear was very strong right from when I bought it), new clutch disc and plate, and some other stuff I have forgotten.

The car is now okay to a large extent but the major issue now is that if I leave it for a long time, it drains the battery, so I normally remove the battery head till I need to drive it.

That's the story.

Where you won c tokunbo summer or 4 seasons tire?

I've only been lucky once and it was just 1 pieces I was able to buy.

That particular type of tire are very scarce to see as you... Gazzuzz says he has it one time I contacted him but its very expensive and we needed 4pcs then.

You even have to be good with tire types to even know or identify or different btw a winter and summer or 4seasons tires.

Winter tires are the most popular tires in Nigeria when it comes to tokunbo

munezo:
6 months now, but it spent more time with artisans than me. It is a long story.

If you are interested in the story, I will narrate it later today.
