how much is it on bolt?
Bolt is wicked. Imagine 4 inspection in a year, the fares without surges which is the norm lately is shitty the commission is killing they force u to go to all axis with their new activity score calculation. I gave up on bolt over 3months ago

The pick up point determines for the driver. If a driver is less than 5mins close to that rider, he would accept it immediately. 5mins + 43 mins (to destination), that's less than an hour - let's just calculate 1hr for the whole stuff cos once you click on 'navigate', the time could increase due to traffic.
I took a rider from Ikeja underbridge to Ikotun (on bolt) which I we spent almost 1hr, trip came out 2.2k (without surge though) and bolt has 25% of it. Please which one you go prefer?
Mind you, Indriver has a specific time to enjoy them - which is anytime from 8pm till you pass out, if you can. In the night, that order of 2.7k, if you propose 3k to the rider, she would accept you if you're close to her pick up point and imagine how free the road always is in the night.
Na you go run for order.
Much respect, boss.
What I'm saying is if we continue like this we'll reck our vehicle, wait until your car start calling for repairs na den u go understand say 2,700 minus 10% for a trip over 25km is poor

Edited

Few days ago I had to replace my gear box
Before now the gearbox was 70k now 180k
Shaft 6k now 10k
I can go on and on

You don't understand indriver. That trip isn't for you. There's someone closer to her. Let the person take it. It's why I NEVER do fastest finger. I must calculate. Someone closer took it.

You're 43 mins from her. Where she is to vi is just 36 mins. 2700 is not fantastic but it's fair. A little above 30mins
2,700 is fair from airport to VI. Understand indriver bro that trip is surely not for me I'm just generally saying that the fares lately on most platforms is poor.
BusinessRe: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by Luxurydriverng: 5:24pm On Aug 04, 2022
The fares I see on indriver lately are ridiculous,

Imagine airport to VI 2,700 is that not madness

And amazingly before you say jack "trip has already been taken" I come dey wonder who dey accept these shitty trips

Don't listen to that advice, 2009 Nissan sunny are very good on gas, you can ask luxurydriverng (driverprenuer) for first hand experience.
Hmmm just seeing this now, the car is fair on fuel economy however it has unreliable electrical especailcially the crankshaft sensor it fails too often. I prefer the Civic I currently use.

I have a fleet of Honda Civic from 2003 to 2005. They are good cars o...

I rarely have overheating issues... If car owners follow owners manual at all times it will greatly reduce your maintenance cost.. Civic were built as a low maintenance vehicles....

That been said, I notice you use water instead of coolant for the radiator .. The use of water instead coolant is a gradual process that will damage your engine....

Now coolant are meant to lubricate and protect the engine from overheating .. Since you are using the car for uber, it means the engine is constantly running and you spend a great amount of time in traffic .. All these factors will greatly contribute to the wear and tear of the engine.. The fact that you use water instead only expedite the wear and tear of engine.. This is a gradual process .......

Even the water that you are using is tap water. The tap water has dirty particles that can clog your water pump and worse it will cause ur radiator to rust .. Water and metal should do not mix well o.

Even if you are going to use water . You supposed to use distill water.. But coolant is ur best bet for best engine protection.....



Conclusion: The best way forward is to replace the engine. Trying to fix the engine at this stage is like throwing money inside fire.. More than likely you will need to get a complete engine.. The use of water has more than likely damage your radiator and water pump..


So instead of half engine , u will need a complete full engine... Failure to do this is a waste of time and money .... A person that cares about you will tell you engine replacement and the ones that are either illiterate or hate u , will tell you to fix engine.. You can only continue to fix engine for so long before the engine packs up..........


Always use the correct engine oil and fluids at all times . And yes civics have almost bullet proof engines, with the right amount of abuse the engine will be gone......


Good luck
Thanks bro, long time. I can't agree less with all you just said. I was the one who caused the problem from the beginning. The engine giving me this problem, I out of ignorance caused it to have this issue. The engine was less than 100,000km the car was bought brand new by the previous owner and was used to shuttle ikoyi lekki axis. The return holes was not connected to the radiator and the car overheated couple of times. Due to previous knowledge with the car (mercedes) that I was used to driving and never had to worry about return holes I didn't know the importance of that "tiny holes" that lead to the head gasket burning out. And for the 1st time the engine had to be opened to replace head gasket and guess what, that was the beginning of the end of that super clean engine that runs so smooth and quiet with no single smoke from the tail pipe. I go share the entire story soon, cause in the end victory is sure.
You are one of the persons that influenced my decision to buying the civic and I know the vehicle will come out victorious because even with the issue I know how much money I take home as profit when compared to the days I used the mercedes. Peace bro sure you doing well? For a while I wouldn't access nairaland but I'm back now.

And what of the Moto oil business you running you still into it? I now have a strictly car issue/maintenance channel where we can promote such products. The channel still at infant stage but has even bigger chances of growing exponentially.

Na voice note for fit this your comment. Guy who tell you say "the guy Don suffer" I enjoy every single day of my life bro, every challenge is a stepping stone to greater heights that is how I have always lived my life. No regrets I just keep moving and guess what the civic has been awesome. I have feed back on my progress in fixing the car and hopefully this is the last stop. Mean while despite the overheating issues (which has finally been solved) I was still able to make ends met working strategically with the car and able to raise money for complete engine overhaul. So guy nothing spoil we move.

You have turn it to advice, guy your statement from the beginning deserve no friendly approach I'm not a fool I know a mediocre when I see or sense one.

Sorry if you my expression was wrong bro.
I was trying to pass a message.

No one should be solely dependent on Uber/Bolt.
Everyone should have an exit plan from the onset. Cos ehailing will reck you.

I follow your handles on YouTube, and do pity you sha.
Plz keep your pity to yourself, who are you in the first place to pity another person is your own life that rosey? Because I'm bold enough to share my experiences and you hide behind your phone and say you pity me. That is funny really funny but I know your type waiting to see the faliure of another and mix worlds with sarcasm trying to make one feel less of him or her self. You don't even have access to my personal life. Bros pity yourself before you pity another person.

Please kindly keep us posted here regarding this issue if and when it is solved as I am currently facing similar problem.

In my case: car temp goes up when ac is on but normalizes when off. Radiator reservoir dries up and once the water level goes down the temp starts to rise. I've had to change 2 radiator caps and a head gasket change with the hope it will solve the problem but no luck.

So, finally I was able to locate the agbede people that I was adviced I take the radiator to; this will be done on Monday...fingers crossed. However, if this doesn't solve the problem then water pump will be changed next.

...changing the radiator for me will be the last resort.
Bro I can relate with what you just explained. At some point I come dey think say na village ppl nor want make I go front in life, but God pass them

Finally gotten back access to nairaland.

Hello nairaland,

I bought a car last year for my online Taxi business which was a decision I had to make in order to save my business from the current economic realities. The car is a Honda civic 2003, I must say the car really helps in terms of fuel economy and cost of replacing damaged parts. But then the car overheats when the sun is out with the AC on, the over heating only occurs on hot days but lately regardless of the surroundings temperature the car overheats after 2 to 3 hours of driving. I have literally tried everything from changing radiator to replacing head gasket to flushing engine block and adding additional fan that comes up when I turn on the AC all these efforts never solved the problem.
In a desperate search for a solution I have taken the car to a very professional mechanic with all gadget and tools needed to give a finally solution.

I am documenting the entire process via YouTube on a channel called CarPalavaFix
