@ radautoworks, @GAZZUZZ and others who can assist please its urgent.

My Honda civic 03 trips off most times while on motion, sometimes before it goes off the car will jerk and then goes off or it won't go off but the next thing engine check light check light comes on. This happens like 2-3 times daily.

Some times when I switch off the engine maybe on traffic engine does hard start before it starts.

I carried out a scan on the car and the code within came up.

Changed the camshaft sensor but this code keeps coming up

radautoworks:
That has no bearing. Have you ever been homeless? Because I have. For the better part of a year. This statement above is exactly why I didn't return to Nigeria until I had accomplished on my own. I didn't want everyone to think I didn't deserve what I had.

All I asked for from my parents was "pay my school fees"... And that's all they did. My parents never spoilt me growing up. All my mates in school didn't even know my family had money and used to show off. It wasn't till my dad and his mates retired everyone realized because the quality of our life improved while all the ones that used to spend money like water lost their homes, etc. That is exactly how I raise my kids. They don't expect to inherit from me just as I requested my parents leave their money to charity 20 years ago.

For over a decade before I returned I did not collect one red cent from my family even when I was homeless. They didn't even hear from me or know where I was except to receive my school results at the end of each semester. I did everything from cleaning to selling electricity door to door to telemarketing. That's why my employees respect me. I can do any of their jobs from the cleaner to the manager (and have when needed).

I get disrespected a lot when I go to places because they think I'm just one small college girl. That's how I find good employees. The ones that treat me well without thinking about who I might be I hire. If anyone of you had every met me in person, was I what you expected? Probably not


That being said, if you want to be successful running a business some things are just common sense whether you are rich or poor. Like I said before hopefully she had insurance. If she did, she can rebuild and be more careful. Sucks, but it is what it is. I've incurred losses in the past doing business and it was usually when I tried to cut corners.

I could talk all day about my history and what I have been through. You want to hear the full story, drop by the shop when I return and you will see say that I can understand that woman VERY well.

Also I want to reiterate that I only comment on things I have experience with.

Well said mama.

You made a lot of sense in your comment. Nevertheless, still count yourself privilege jor mama no b everybody get rich parents to pay their fee or even send abroad.

Even do you know how many times the name or personality of your father favored and cut edges for you Thats one privilege you have many don't. I'm sure you and other persons with notable surnames can relate.

On the flip side. This mindset your diaspirant has with the white willing out everything you laboured for to charity(ies) I really don't fancy in if suxh charity (ies) is located and own by a Nigerian because most of these CEO to NGOs are scammers reaping innocent people off while their children have the best quality of life abroad with they buying properties all over the place. Funny enough they will their own property to their own biological children. So my own papa... Or, did you know, the popular Bank Anthony left his property to charity, look at his children today most of them are living in abject poverty, the last time I saw one of his daughter you could tell in her countenance she isn't proud of her late father despite all the wealth he had.

The point I'm trying to make is, Nigerians are selfish, greedy and wicked. Be it orphanage home or charity no CEO pot I any charity organisation is worth giving a property because they'll end up willing same property to their own children. If na oyinbo person now fine you can give them your life self I don't care but for a Nigerian? Nbanu!!

dapotemi:
Had to read this comment atleast thrice to understand the other guys reaction as I was shocked when I saw " condescending--self adulation--inappropriate etc". When you brought out his past post then I was relieved. He's one of those clown. How can you be so bitter about someone you probably don't even know? Someone you probably have never met! Might never meet! How? Such an amazing idiot!

Hahaha... Tasha no go kill person with laff

"Toyota is less cheap to maintain than the Honda"

This statement is not entirely true

Thank God you said not entirely true, neither was my thought finite and conclusive factual.

For some thing not to be entirely true means there is/are some element of truth in it. I understand you are trying to resuce the force in my statement but that doesnt change the fact base on personal experiences that Honda cars are more expensive to maintain when compared to Toyota cars.

Case study:
The bushing of a Honda accord 05 is 3k5h.
Toyota same yr is ranges btw 1k5h to 2k5h

Shocks on accord 7k to 8k
Toyota 4k to 5k

Only to mention a few.

Give some stats from your personal experience lets do the comparison.

sofdoc1:
Funny, just what I need. Would check the phone out. Thank you man.

Anytime bro... All thanks to God.
Peeps4u actually introduced the phone to me and it is what he said. The phone mad ghan.

radautoworks:
Much as it hurts, she was notified she violated the law... Issues like this is exactly why I did everything by the book with no bribery. It cost a lot more but I don't care what kind of paper you are looking for we have it. No one can hold me to ransom and I can sleep well at night.

Also, that's what insurance is for though they might deny her claim because of the violation.

What more do we expect from the only child of a rich dad who is the mentor of one of the richest black man on earth.

Mama no compare yourself to that woman ooh, you two are not In the sane category.

May she raise again.

economia1:
You are a FEMALE, you are not fit for the biz

Haaaa!!! Gender discrimination there! You could be charge for that and mind you we have a representative of the feminist here in the thread in the person of sexyyyylasie.

Hahaha

But guy don't under estimate the straight of a woman oh their passive and responsibilities most times gives them a great drive that makes them do better than men most of the time, just that when the market (power) bust enh they become dominant and uncontrollable.

toomush:
I was Happy he didn't damage my headlamps, the man(in he's 60's) was even drunk.

When ever I see men of such age misbehaving I always wind down to make sure they hear how I insult the stupidity outta them because their generation are the reason to all the mess we face in this country right now.

toomush:
Good day house, last night at the lekki-ikoyi toll Bridge, a G63 reversed and hit my car. I need a very good panel beater to do a neat job on this car.

Guys, can anyone help profile this number:
+234 806 834 8572. It need into about it.

Thanks

slamstanlee:
When i pick u up at home and drop u at ur office or vice versa i have no problem with u on transfer even if d alert didn't reflect on my app instantly. U can go, i will call u in an hour if i dont see it.
But when i pick u from say a beach or hotel to probably a shopping mall or a market. I must see alert. We all will be patient till it gets in or we go to an atm point.


Some day i picked up a rider from festac to ebutte meta, federal medical center. Then go back to drop d boy friend at ago palace. Fare was 3600.
Boyfriend said it was the babe that will transfer d money. Called babe and she said her battery was low she will send it later.
I just zoomed off. (i know her house, and office. No qualms)

She spoke so soft and looked responsible. I trusted her.
Called in d evening to tell her no alert yet, she said something came up....
Next morning another stroy, next evening another story. At a point she won't pick all my calls.
I sent her a simple message: Please pay my money to avoid my troubles.

She ignored.
3rd day a trip took me to ebutte metta early morning. At around resumption time,
I got there and waited for d yeye girl.

She got down from a tinted corolla, with a straight face, as if she had seen me but trying to pretend. I trailed behind her as she walked into d hospital, i dialed her number to be sure it was her... She somehow, stylishly silenced d phone.

I didn't want to stop her and harass her. I may be wrong, she may not be d person.

I walk to a staff nurse and asked where is d management office, that i wanted to lay a complaint about a staff.

They said SERVICOM department.
I downloaded a fresh true caller app, put in her number.... It showed Dr oyinye. A Doctor! Wow

Told SERVICOM d gist, gave them the name and number, in less than 5 minutes they fished her out. Same girl o.

Took her to one room and start questioning her, through the walls i was hearing stuff like: u cant be complaining low ba3 and poor network for 3 days....

Another staff was busy telling me to hav patient, it will be resolved soon.

They called me to d room she was... In her hand was cash.

They apologized, and equally said it could be network, but that doesn't mean they are supporting her ooo.
She apologized, wit a very drained, pale face.
I pitied her that moment. It was so embarrassing...
Handed me the cash, 4k.
I told her i have change in d car.

Funny girl followed me to d car park, apologized again, for any inconvenience she might have cause.
I actually talked less that day. I said no problem.

Take 500 change i dont have 400.
She said she didn't have 100 to balance too.
Ok you can keep it, i said.

She walked back like d ground should open and swallow her up.
I kind of felt bad for dragging her to this point. But well, she pushed me, trying to be smart.

Make una no vex for my long story... I get time small ni

Nice move I like this approach.

Something of such is what I plan doing to the guy that refuse to pay me my N300. Angryman called it an effortless fight but I'll get back to the house on this. I know the street I picked the guy from, I can get that guy has the intention to scam unknowing to me. No wonder he asked me to call him immediately I drive into his street in mende that he will walk down to meet me. That was an act put in place so I dont know his house. I believe this same guy must havr done so to some other drivers as well. N300 will cook a pot of soup for many family in this country and anyone who tries to swinddle me or any hard working person of their sweet may the Lord God of heaven destroy such person with a sickness.

mikylon:
Need some guidance here,
which car is better off used for UBER/TAXIFY biz.
I don't know which is advisable to buy btw Corolla and Civic. what are the pros and cons between the two.

The only difference btw the both cars is resales value and cost of maintenance.

Toyota has a better resale value than Honda
Toyota is less cheap to maintain than Honda.

Make your choices base on what you look out for

radautoworks:
Yes if you don't have to pay for another set for at least 4 years.

Note: free food is for restaurant refers not repair referrals. Free maintenance or cash equivalent is for repair referrals. Two things going on.

You guys still haven't said yea or nay

Mama anyone you decide I dey game. Let the game begin biko I'm hungry

I am asking this question not because I want to disrespect the integrity of this tread and everyone here but because here is the closest place I can get a good answer.

I have a minibus I am thinking of giving out for hire purchase but the security aspect of it is what I can not handle. Giving such a vehicle to someone I have no prior knowledge of except what he disclose to me.

What is the possibility of the hiree running away with the vehicle and will not be able to be traced through the address he initially provided?

1. What is the best practice in the market as regards the security aspect of hire purchase?

2. Do hirer just hand-over the vehicle to the hiree with hire purchase agreement signed by both parties and the guarantors?

3. What nature of guarantors needed?

4. Is it compulsory to use technology like a tracker in the hp biz (please specify the best you have used)?

I want to know how people handle the security aspect of hire purchase business?

please save a soul.

Do quote me.

After you have bought the bus you're now coming to ask how things are done. Didn't you carryout a good findings b4 venturing into the business or are you one of those that goes with any trending business?

Anyways, even with security deposit if people want to fuvk u up they'll the only thing you need is God in your business.

1. Verify his address and the addresses of his guarantors
2. At least let one of his guarantors have a good property in lagos.
3. Both guarantors should/must be either a civil servant or clergyman.
4. Install a car tracker to your vehicle.
5. Get his biodata and that of a close family relative.
6. State it boldly on the contract if you don't find him his guarantors pays for any damages.
7. Skiped my mind, I'm sure someone else with better experience will state more.

Good luck

To come and check my car. And dt d coupon will expire 23rd of march.
I was a bit skeptical. Make I no drive go lekki and someone will turn me down cos of awoof.
But with this I might give it a try.

Asin enh... The other I drove to and fro from abule egba to radauto to work on my car the next day morning I woke up with severe headache that I couldn't go to work all through.

What's going on in lagos? The traffic we used to experience during the era of Gov Tinubu has returned with all its demons and acquaintances.
I just wonder what kind of Governor lagos state has.

sexylassie:
My idea is simple, only reward loyal customers from here

Criteria
Must be a uber or taxify driver
Must prove he or she is a uber or taxify driver
Must have a moniker here


Why give reward to any type of driver, it will be unfair to loyal customers

Only uber drivers who have come to your shop for any type of services are qualified for the offer.

The driver with the highest number of receipt will win the one year offer.

If there is a tie, invite them, spin a coin, select your winner, one go home happy, the other sad. its fun

And what is sexy giving the boys?

As for me I would like to meet you to have the kiss of the year you know i like meeting people.

SaintHilary:
So Angryigboman don go back to farming for east i remember when he said it like a joke there's power in the tongue o!

Angryigboman will still come back to the street but it will be once in a while, the reason is because, agriculture needs serious capital. you have to keep investing into any type of agro business for like 5yrs before it takes shape. Unless you have a huge savings or a government loan or foreign support.
To be a successful agroprenuer you need huge capital to finance your agro idea, if you don't have such capital then you'll need a side hustle or a good job which you'll at every time use to finance your agro business till it take shape.

So I strongly believe Angryigboman will sometimes still be doing the hustle either offline or online trips. With the numbers of experience he has in the job I'm sure he must have gotten some good offline customers.
Is there any driver that has a good and functional car that can resist the December surge

So I'm very sure he's not hanging his boots.

donfortune48:
Please comrades,
How can I get a POS machine for this hustle?

It seems like the best alternative.

Driver: POS is available ma'am/madam i don't accept BT
Rider: I dont have my card with me ooh.

What would you do then?

Bros sorry pos wont save you from this scam.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I understand you sire, but it's not a challenge

Have you paid with transfer in KFC, Chicken Republic or ShopRite?

Have you paid with transfer in a filling station before?

Why can't the same rider speaking grammar for you to understand, go and speak it there?


Let's enjoy the thread bro. To each, his own [/color]

Rider: can I do transfer cause I have no cash on me.
Me: oga/madam I don't have a bank account.
Rider: you dont have a bank account me, how?
Me: are you surprised
Rider: yes na, how will somebody not have an account how do you do bi...
Me: cutting in, how would you too not have cash? Dis uber or bolt told you to pay me via transfer. Oga/madam I said i dont have a bank account na by force? Abeg pay me my money make I comot jor u dey waste my time.

Best way to deal with riders that feel BT is the only option they've to pay.
This hustle is for mad people like angryman else na village commitee of drivers will come n pay u visit.

Nero2424:
Wow!!! I joined this thread to see how this rideshare thing works. I was hoping I can buy a few cars to try it out but the ways and manner some owners here are complaining about some drivers not remitting money in time is scary. This is still sounding like the same Danfo business I did many years back. Everyday story!

I will probably have to discuss business like this with my doctor to know if my blood pressure medication can handle this.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah....
Bros you kill me with the bolded menh.... LolzzzzzzZz
