Lush100:
Morning sir,
Pls my battery light ( red) is showing on my dashboard.
I warmed the car yesterday morning, it appeared and stayed, I pressed the throttle to increase rpm it then disappeared.
This morning, I warmed it again, the battery light was showing, increased the rpm, it was still there,
Moved the car a little within the compound, and left it running for about 2 minutes, it then disappeared
Some history.
Car has not been driven for close to 2 months.
Someone else (doesn't drive) has been warming the car for me.
Yesterday was the first time I warmed car by myself and I noticed the car air-conditioning was left on as I met it on after I started the car.
Please what's the implication of this.
Also some rodent must have been using my engine bay as their dinning table. Lots of snail shell and some faeces

Car toyota corolla sport 2006.

Pls should I be worried

1.Check the terminals of the battery if they are tight. If not, get 11' spanner n tighten.

2. Look at your alternator belt, are the grooves showing signs of wear out? , is it taut on the alternator.

Drive it around for like a day, to see if the light blinks again.

If 1 and 2 are good. The culprit is the carbon brush in the alternator, it's a cheap fix, I bought the replacement 1k ( can't say for this year, cost of spare parts skyrocketed) last year, gave rewire 2k for his services.

Not supporting the Bolt guy, but some riders sha... (if you are sending a package, you should try to prep up the receiver to be on the alert to receive the package). Not expecting the Bolt driver to do full delivery for you.. (this is d main crux of the whole wahala ).

At Banex, parking is always a problem, the place is too tight, to compound things, the receiver might even be on the 2nd or 3rd floor if you park anyhow and leave your car, they could brush your mirror or someone cud block you.

Maybe they spoke to the guy rudely and he wants to punish them. It doesn’t justify nothing though.

VERY true.

I need you comrades to put me through indriver app, most trips I see on the app are always far from me...

Positioning is key, if you want to be a master of trips on indriver. Yaba, ikeja, Ojodu berger, magodo, Surulere,, V. I, ikoyi, Lekki Phase 1 and 2. Action points for indrive.
I'm surprised you are at Ekoro.. . I will only go to Ekoro if it's a long distance trip, I'd rather stay put. That place na dead zone... You will never get any reasonable trip except by luck.

samobaba4u:
Just seeing this.
That Street beside Randle General Hospital Surulere. U will be facing the workshop directly at the end of the street. Just ask for Ọ̀gá Wole and tell him from Samson Col. U can reach me on 081 when u get there so I can confirm if he's the one. I don't want to share his number make them senior boys no go enter am.

Thanks Boss. I will reach out to you.

Felicity0001:
A. Budget 35-40k for tokunbo but take the car to ladipo and get a mechanic to buy and fix it there. 1k for road side parking or car park parking, mechanic workmanship 3k. You and am go follow go the omo Igbo shop go select. If he puts it and it didn't work well hell take it back and change. You can do counter balancing with your own

B. Yes it can be fixed but a professional good at his craft is needed... Just a few of them available best is replacement. Counter balancing to make it cheaper for you.

Take it to ladipo as well.

But you 1st have to know what is bad, is it the rack or the pump, if it's the rack oil will peak out entirely when you apply break then steering goes strong while turning, if not fix on time it will affect the pump itself.

But if it's the pump you'll hear a cracking hissing sound while turning the steering even though oil is well gauged. Steering will be strong as well.

Know the difference so you don't go throwing money anyhow.

I changed my pump 2weeks ago

Counter balancing 19k
Parking 1k
Mechanic 4k
Oil 3k

I think it's both, power steering oil goes down occasionally, and the whistling sound when you turn the steering. Steering is stiff when turning on slow speed.

Ladipo wahala too much....

kanuisagoat:
Same issue happened to a driver I know

Turned out that his account was blocked.I guess this is Bolts new style. No email, no in app notification, nothing.

He only got to realise he was blocked when he called them. Their reason? Someone reported that he used a longer route and increased fare.

He was blocked for two weeks or so before they unblocked him

Reason why I insist on having an exit plan. It doesn't have to be perfect before one starts execution.
No pension, No leave bonus, No benefits at all, yet an average driver commits on the average, 10-12 hours daily on a company that can sack you at will without hearing your side of the story.

samobaba4u:
Bro the ones they called toks na those ones they condemned and later re-kit. Don't be deceive. I did mine #8k and mechanic #5k about 4 months ago after them tell me sey toks na #45k. Na one senior mechanic come open my eyes. But if u buy another make sure u carry ur own go cos na extra money for them.

If I get you right, you rekit the steering rack for 8k, then you paid mech 5k for his services.
Cos I'm quite surprised mech said d guy will take 15k for fixing a leaking steering rack only . After that I will still pay mech cos he said it's a whole day's job.

Abeg where for mainland did you fix it.?

ReadaDream:
Pump 25k

Yes but there's no guarantee.

Thanks Baba. Either fix or buy toks is what I'm considering now ( fixing is quite expensive too., mech said d guy will take 15k. Was told toks steering rack is 40k...

Good morning Brethren.

Any ideas on Toyota corrolla 06

A. price of power steering pump.

B. Can a leaking steering rack be repaired, how much will that be. ?

@ Austinreal. Good job. The weeder you posted up there. Was it used for clearing before planting, or you are using it to weed presently.?.
Is the machine effective against weeds?

eyinola:
Abeg who know price for crankshaft? With mental and main bearing , oil pump and connecting rod? My engine don hook ooòooooooò

Sorry o. Try Jiji, although, prices there are inflated, at least it will give you an idea of the price range.

It seems Moove has shifted to the 04-06 corrolla and 03-05 camry.

abefeabebi:
Pls want to know about lekki ikoyi link bridge toll price, is it the same with lekki tollgate and how much do the charge for installation of the cashless tag.
Thanks

From inception, ikoyi toll has been higher, 300 VS 200. But there is a % rebate since the cashless policy started. 270 VS 180.

Its quite a token to get the tag. It won't cost you much. Just your time.

Best advice. If you have children, ensure they don't step towards where it is sprinkled.

Liadi2:
28 bundles approximate it to 30

Great. Thanks

Thurmieee:
30k and above

OK. Thanks

@ Farmerakinloye6. Well done.

How many bundles of cassava is needed for 1 acre? . I don't want it to remain because it can't be stored.

Please, who has an idea current price of Tokunbo corrolla shaft with rod. 06 corrolla.
Thanks.

Crvrider:
Thanks. This is quite helpful but where can I get these guys? My location is igando not sure if any is around my area.

Haha. Baba. Agbede dey that side now... (take a bike to where they are selling spare parts around igando, look for where they fix broken headlamps and taillights, ask for agbede there,

Try what I told you first. The water is supposed to circulate freely within the internal fins. Once 3 or 4 of the fins are blocked. Water won't circulate freely, making water to quickly evaporate from the radiator

You have to be there in person to see it yourself, I'm sure some of the radiator fins are clogged.

Crvrider:
Car wash.

Then I'm afraid, you haven't washed the radiator. Ask around for them " agbede" /blacksmith. They will unmount the radiator, open up the cover. Car wash folks don't do this, they only blow the exterior. I doubt it's a water pump issue.
Depending on area and your bargaining skills 2.5 - 4k should fix it.

There are tens of internal fins within the radiator, they will use a long strip of metal to dislodge sludge and mud particles blocking the fins (then, they will use water to thoroughly rinse individual fins. Making sure there are no clogged mud and debris within the fins. Insist they wash it thoroughly. Do this and the overheating issue when climbing the hill will stop. I have experienced this when I was driving a Nissan primera.

Car wash will only blow the exterior. The real workings of the radiator are the internal fins.

Crvrider:
Goodday comrades. Please I need your expertise on this issue: when I accelerate or attempt to ascend a hilly road car temperature goes up but when I slow down or drive in traffic temperature goes to normal

Things I have done:
1. Changed top gasket
2. Washed radiator
3. Changed oil

The radiator wash, is it car wash or agbe`de wash? You know there are different kind of radiator washing.

Duplik8t77:
what if the rider disagrees standing by what shows on their app.

Disagree for what,? some riders are just being mischievous. The rider app gives an estimate, "a lower band to a higher band". This estimate is designed to be an advisory and not a final fare. Some riders sef, as if they don't live in Lagos. If there is traffic, of course the fare has to be higher.

Collect the fare BOLDLY displayed on your phone.

MDDarah84:
300/bundle of 50 sticks

OK boss. Two questions.

1. How many bundles will be required for 1 acre.?

2. Which variety of cassava commands high demand from processors.?

Farmerakinloye6:
1. 7-10k depend on the density. 2. Three time from planting to harvesting 3. Don't apply fertilizer to cassava it doesn't worth it A bag of npk is now 30k in my area . Just make sure it is weed Free!

@ Farmerakinloye6
Thank you for the input. Na to cancel fertilizer for cassava be that.

Gudvibes06:
Pls house good day, I was blocked by bolt due to expired inspection they removed my car from the app yesterday but I've done the inspection today and I have the report in my email I have been trying to upload it on the app but did not see any option like that except from if a want to add a new car. My question is can I add it as a new car or there a way I need to go about it. Pls help it's urgent I need to enter road back. And pls any one can help me with Uber inspection center around ikeja.

Uber inspection. Ashabi cole street, there is a standard mechanic workshop with Deep brown corrugated sheets close to one filling station.

Note: don't park or stop anyhow on Ashabi cole, they tow cars easily there.

donbrowser:
Did you read the part where I wrote hiding under NGO?

No one would even know e-hailing drivers funded the project. This should be a KO for those traffic mofos

MIB, pseudo-lastma, towing van officials and their paid agents will remove the signs. Because they benefit from the unwholesome sharp practices of extorting unsuspecting road users. The best thing is to paint such roads and create a notice/ online compendium of One way streets zone by zone in Lagos.

Ideally, Bolt and Uber can do these things ( they have a better connect with the min. Of transport) to sensitize new drivers on the road.

eyinola:
police has never ask me abt curfew shaaa, it's just been normal stop and search even once they just peep into my car they let me go even with my tinted glasses

Sope ti eh. If people told you the shege police did for them on this 12-4am curfew. Baba. Let's just leave it at that.

Muhammadson2020:
. As in those short trips @ ₦800, ₦1000 on inDriver is better than so many useless short trips on Bolt. 5 good shorts around Ikeja @ those curfew hours will fetch like 5k plus easily.

VERY true. Short trips on indriver makes more sense than short trips on Bolt.

YeyeGbami:
All the corolla wey moove roll out that time, i no dey see them for road again. Even this korope wey dem bring sef cannot withstand the pressure.

They were forming posh partners. How can you put 2013 abi na 14 corrolla to be plying Lagos roads anyhow with dirt cheap fares.
When they saw Uber was just going to squeeze the juice out of those cars, nobody told them before they ported to Innoson.
