HenryWilliams: I'm trying to understand this part.. Weight of what? If your car is parked on level ground ,there's no need to apply your hand brake when parking Only when on an incline, that you apply the hand brake before engaging the gear to P. That's to ensure the parking pawl doesn't bear any weight Oga stop unnecessary arguments. He is right by saying you should use your parking brake at all times. Read your car manual, it is there. You are busy arguing over weight of car, do you lose anything if you use the parking brake on flat surface? Does it remove anything from you? Also, when you park on flat surface with only your transmission park pin, the transmission is the only thing stopping your car from moving. Yes, there is little or no weight, but what happens when a car hits you when you are parked? On top of damage your car body, your tranny will also be toast. Use your parking brake AT ALL TIMES. It doesn't cost you anything. But you can choose to be stubborn, it's a free world. It is your car, not mine. |

IanSholex: Thank you for this, I just wanted to know how safe and long the process could take, and also hear from people who have done it before. I actually visit the local office yesterday and I was told it could be sent for me but they can't guarantee how long it will take to deliver it. I'm still weighing my option of partial refund or I return the phone and get a complete refund. I'm only skeptical about return/refund because the seller seems like he doesn't want to do a refund at all. No seller ever wants to do a refund, so don't let that bother you. It is aliexpress that has the final say, not him. Make sure you have enough video evidence to backup your claim and make your refund request up to 70% of the price of the phone. You might just be lucky. They might end up giving you 50% or even more. If I were you, I would go with the refund instead of return. Then I will take the phone to a trusted technician to try to fix it. The worst that will happen is that fixing it fails and you sell it to someone at a reduced price due to the fault. The best that could happen is that they find a missing antenna that can easily be installed for you and you have a fully functional phone after receiving 50% refund. It is a very low risk gamble. |

IanSholex: Well noted, thanks for your feedback, like I said earlier I have been buying phone on aliexpress as far back as 2019, maybe not Samsung phone though, I won't repeat the same mistake again. Buying any non-china phone from aliexpress is risky. First you can't get it new. You can only get it as refurbished no matter what the seller claims. And since the phone is not made in China, parts won't be as available as China phones, so they tend to cut a lot of corners in the refurbishment. I once bought on LG v60 and it turned out to be a Frankenstein of different models of v60. Phone takes about 2min to identify Sim. GPS signal was poor. Fingerprint sensor could unlock with you bumbum. I made a video of all the problems and opened dispute. I got about 50% refund. I used the refund to order for the correct parts and fixed all the problems. I'm sure your phone is probably missing some antenna. At this point, that phone is just a big risk. Returning it is possible, but your nearest post office will explain better. Keeping it will involve opening it to see what is missing. If you are luck, it will be an easy fix. The decision is yours. |

haykay2005: Pls,
I recently bought a 2006 Honda Civic, and one of the first things I noticed is that the fan is connected directly. My scan result also shows two codes — P2413 and P2185. I usually scan my car and tell my mechanic what to fix based on the codes generated, and that approach has been working for me.
Now, he agrees with me on the first code, which relates to the EGR, but he doesn’t want to return the fan to its factory setting. I’d rather have that done elsewhere.
I need a good mechanic around the Ogba/Abule Egba axis who can sort this out for me. I don’t want to argue with this Azeem. I understand gassuz doesn’t like working on this car.
The fuel consumption is high. I used 17 litres of fuel from challenge ibadan to abule Egba, and my calculation is around 17mpg. Around 75 miles journey 90% highway. Nigerian kazeems are at it again. |

dru23: 7 out of 10 naija used cars are problems that the owners couldn't longer deal with. So the car is sold to the next mugu .. And the circles continues and continues............. Even when buying tokunbo is a risk also, but it is calculated risk .. So na to choose your poison
The cars I had were bought tokunbo and were used for Uber. I end up selling them all and I maintain them very well ...... So what you are say is that the person that bought your used cars will not live to see his grand children. Right? Sometimes we open our mouth an talk trash just to sound wise but we end up sounding very silly. |

dru23: If you want to leave long and see your grand children, stay away from naija used cars ..... A word is enough for the wise....... Honda are usually good cars and the crosstour is very reliable, hopefully the transmission no go get issues, Honda are funny like that. If you get transmission issues mechanic will say na that man wey him Honda dey always give him transmission wahala ... You will not like yourself, and God help you if na naija used u go buy.. you will truly not like yourself..
But if na fresh tokunbo na oil change and check coolant level. And also check transmission fluid..
Car engine cost now ... You need to be wise Once again, this is wrong. Unnecessary exaggeration. |
