It has finally happened, Elebu road don kill one of my bags

Before I start overthinking replacement like an American, what will a Nigerian living in Nigeria do to fix this?

1) Simply replace the bag? From where?

2) Convert to traditional springs?

Thanks.

Benz lovers,
Good evening. My soul wants to buy a Benz GL450 2013/14/15 model but then I am afraid of what issues that big car can bring. Most of the ones in the market are US used with more than 100k miles on them. I am not one that has time to tinker with cars. I would rather start the car, get easy repairs and move on but I just hate the Toyota Highlander or Honda Pilot, too bland. Yet, I have got a family to move around with everyone on their seat.

Should I run away from this car or its a good buy? What are the likely issues? Does this Benz also suffer from electrical problems?

Expecting your advise with thanks.

Do you still have the contact of the person? I’m not opposed to doing this because my truck specifically shared suspension bits with Jeep Grand Cherokee due to Benz being owned by Chrysler then.

Thanks.

Good morning everyone.

I live in a house with a big compound. Recently, some car dealers somehow had a deal/agreement/permission to be parking their cars in our compound. They take the cars out in the morning to their car stands and return them in the evening. This has been going on for weeks without any hassle.

This morning, we all woke up to discover that, some men of the underworld raided last night and removed the batteries of all the cars in the compound. We are talking about nearly 10 cars o. The tenants who have cars were also affected. They even had access to a particular Honda's interior. It was such a mess!

Here are my questions:
1. Apart from normal locking of cars, what other ways can be used to safeguard car batteries?

2. I heard some car keys can open other similar cars! How can car owners prevent such?

3. All of the cars in the compound are Japanese. When I want to buy my own car, can I look towards the German cars? I heard they have better security. How true is this?

Thank you.

GAZZUZZ, I command you to rest in JESUS MIGHTY NAME. I overlook a lot of things here, bit your own is becoming too much, dragging issues up and down with total strangers, what exactly is your own? The white people who originated all these clearance/yard/declutter/estate sales, sell things as small as used spoons, forks, knives,shovels, baseball bats, etc. Yet, you will never see anyone denigrating such items or the sellers thereof. You will never see anyone telling a seller or poster what to do with such items, it is only in Nigeria here that you will see such statements like "you no get somebody wey you go dash am" you suppose no sell am pass 10kobo" dude why you dey post this kind thing for here" you and your kind on this thread should go and sit down and don't quote me again, nonsense. Morning till morning you're here posting all manner of rubbish, and I am yet to see anyone counter you, yet it is this hammer that is giving you and your kind headaches.

So I was having a blinking “D” light issues with my car; an Accord 08. I asked for assistance on the Honda maintenance thread, someone intervened and directed me to @kingreign since I’m in Abuja.
I checked him out and I realized he offers tips on car maintenance. It didn’t strike me as someone that actually fixes. I got his number, called him. And he was like o should come to his garage. Fortunately, his garage is close to my side in kubwa. I always leave for work early so I pleaded with him to meet him as early as possible. Driving the car home, it even over heated that I had to run to him on whatsapp to seek assistance.
Prior to this I already suggested to use a friend scanner to scan and post codes for him so that way I’ll even ease his work, he blatantly refused and said he does scanning and diagnostic by himself (Oshey Senior Kazeem), he charged 10k we later agreed 8k.
Next morning I was at his place, took the car for a drive and he said it was the gear that ain’t selecting. That he’ll change the oil, filter, service blah and blah. I said okay. Left the car with him and I waited for my bolt to come, he drove out for another test drive with another car.

Like an hour later he called paraying for me that I didn’t pay him for the diagnostic I just left. Lmaoo so my car that’s with you ain’t worth more than 8k?? Besides he knew I was in a hurry to leave for work so normally the payment would be done via transfer anytime he’s ready to receive funds. (First red flag). I also transferred money for the oil to. I think it was 4 liters at 7k per liter.

I paid him and ask him to please send codes atleast that way I can check the codes myself. He sent the screenshots of the codes much later. And there was one that reported faults in the transmission (shift solenoid A) something something. He came back later saying I’ll have to change the gearbox. I was like car that’s not even up to 1 month. I started asking him questions what could’ve led to that? Blah blah blah I said okay.
But your scanner said solenoid na, I quoted the image and he didn’t say anything till like hours later telling me he has found the culprit (Oshey baddest Kazeem) I was happy low key cuz the car started this on a Monday and I had given it to a mechanic on Tuesday who changed the oil to jezeco, I requested for the Honda DW-1 which he couldn’t get and he put that one my plan was to get the recommended one and drain that one. The nonsense mechanic couldn’t fix it and told me to drive on D3 which I wasn’t comfortable with. (that’s what led to the overheating too I guess). That’s why I even came to NL to seek for help. Thank God the problem started before then, our Online Kazeem would’ve said it’s the offline Kazeem that ruined the gear cuz of the oil.

Back to the main gist, I asked how much for the solenoid, he said 10-15k for each (Omo!! I started sweating for midnight) I shaa pleaded with him and he said there’s nothing he can do about it, like that’s the price. So I asked him to confirm the exact price so I’ll know the total. I was asking him for the overheating issues, maybe he should be doing that simultaneously he started getting angry that I can’t tell him what to do. Oga it’s my money and car now. Atleast lemme have hope something is working. I shaa told him to do his thing. I was on his neck a bit cuz it’s very tedious for me using public transport, so I just want him to atleast gimme something positive. He was even telling me normally I would’ve left the car with him till Monday before he even starts working on it. Lmaoo on top my money again?

I didn’t hear from baba all morning, gave him till noon and I messaged me, he replied after a while that the gear is burnt that he tested the solenoid and they didn’t work, soI’ll have to change the gear. I didn’t even know you’ve got the solenoid and besides the agreement was that you should confirm the price first. Omo!!! I said I’m not doing just couple the car back for me make I go park am. No be by force to drive car. He was even advising me to buy the gear now as it might get more expensive by December (Pele oh Chief adviser).

Now this is where the problem started. I asked him if the car would be available for pickup the next day, he said yes. So I was running late for work the next morning, so I texted him telling him my friend would pick it up on my behalf. He didn’t reply the message till I got to work. He was like he went to the market and he wasn’t around. As soon as my friend got there, with my new mechanic by the way (I already have an alternative) he started calling me that some people are there to pick the car. Shey you told me you’re in the market( Oshey Flash Kazeem) suddenly you’re in your workshop again.
He started getting uncomfortable with my oriole picking the car which is understandable but then I’m calling you to release the car to them. So I don’t think it should be a problem tbh.
After so much hesitation, he agreed to release the car and said he won’t be held responsible for any damages, I said yes. Just let us go. Diportivo

He then came up with another means to just get money from me. He said I have to pay for the solenoid, that he bought two and I’ll pay for them. I was like didn’t you say you’ll need to buy 5? He said he bought two first to test if it’s gonna work and as it didn’t work I’ll pay for it. Waawu!! I just smiled.
I TF the money to him. Cuz I wasn’t there and I don’t want him creating a scene there with my friend and the new mechanic. Cuz he sounded like a person that’ll create chaos.

My conclusion is this guy is not competent. He’s just a Kazeem that has assess to Nairaland. He’s just all about money and he’s willing to lie his way through. How can you tell me to pay for something you bought and didn’t work??
So if he had bought a new gearbox and it didn’t work he’ll ask me to pay… Lmaoo.

Meanwhile an offline Kazeem has helped me to fix the car and it’s two week now, everything smooth. Nakoks

@kingreign I leave you to God.
