So is this 2013 model looking any better?
Just me looking for trouble

Elsueno:
Mehn...just look at this interior. I have no idea why some people even compare this ride to a corrola, D civic is superior in every way

Omo! See interior....
This is one of the reasons why I love Honda.

My hubby recently bought the car(Naija used) for me. It has been from one issue to another. At first it was the gear but it was fixed,one of the days I took the car out it just stopped on the road and the mechanic came to check the car and said he will change a certain switch which he did. In the last 2days now,when driving the steering will be hard all of a sudden and the car will go off showing battery sign on the dashboard. The battery is relatively new,please what do you advice I do?

Second hand cars will always come with issues... But that doesn't mean you can't fix it. You just have to tackle the problems one after the other till u get it right and start enjoying your car. A good mechanic will help you achieve this.

Good day bosses. Please I use a ‘09 Hyundai Elantra and I’ve been having repeated AC issues. I once changed valve and my AC worked for about 2weeks fine then we’re back to the same problem of cooling at morning and night.

I had it checked and it was discovered my drier was dirty and compressor oil blackens. I opted for a external drier washed my condenser and radiator, changed my compressor oil. I was told my fan speed is too low and I had to put a Relay on it to make it go faster. Everything worked fine afterwards but about a week later I was driving in the morning and it chilled fine but suddenly went hot after about 3hours.
What’s likely to be the problem? It’s really stressing me.

Thanks

It seems your compressor has suffered black death. You said you washed the condenser and radiator, I assume you washed just the outside... Black death contaminates the whole system. You need to change your compressor, condenser, dryer, then flush your Evaporator and the lines. It might sound expensive but that's the way to do it right. Take it to a sound AC tech, he will advice you further.

I received my couplers from jumia today. The last piece needed for my manifold guage set. Now I can monitor what's really going on inside the AC system.
Vacuum pump still on the way.
If u are in Enugu and need quality AC repairs hit me up.

This nonsense must stop forthwith. This is why Yoruba Nation must come all these incessant exp[loitation must stop. How can someone in her home land commit suicide over a crap job from shoprite. This depression is not a yesterday affair it has been on with deprivation of yoruba people in their home land. The handy works of evil tribes Hausa fulani and igbos. They will not be warned to leave our space for us and our people enough is enough.

Yoruba nation indeed. I hope you are in your father's compound doing your business.. why travel to Lagos? Or neighbouring states for business... Mpama

Because this one made news... Do you know how many so called big boys we have in the society that have done worse. Because they were not caught? We are rushing to their Instagram pages to hail and drool over their wealth... Wanting to be like them...
They call it yahoo, I call it theft
They say it's yahoo plus, I call it Ogwu ego.
Reaping where you did not sow is purely wickedness.

Person wey commit suicide no dey hide bottle na! Make dem carry out investigation. Autopsy if possible.

That year....

Phone model?

Happy new year guys.

I guess it has to do with the body shape, cos both are same engine.

kennyldelsu:
hello good people,

pls, my car AC cool up well when I'm in motion, but cuts off when in traffic, what cld be the issue or what shld I do?
I use honda civic 2008 (aka irobot).

my AC guy calls it "jump cooling", that I need to change the compressor...

AC tech in the house, pls assist

Check if your radiator fans are working well.
By working well I mean
1, if the speed is okay,
2, if it's turning in the right direction.
Another reason might be low gas in the system.
Changing the compressor should be your last resort cos a lot of things might be wrong and can cause such problem that u are experiencing.

Happy new year.

Hi Everyone,

   Please i need recommendations for a solid car. I am currently driving a 2018 Mitsubishi outlander which I've had for 2 years now. A friend of mine who's into auto dealership shipped it for me from the US. Said it had good fuel economy, double back sitter, blah, blah blah. The car is okay but doesn't have the features I want so I want to give the car to my mum & get a new car.


I like keyless cars or cars u can start with a remote; cars u can operate the boot with a key or button (my Mitshibushi doesn't have that). I like cars that lock automatically on matching the brake (my Mitshibushi doesn't have that feature too). Leather seat trips me (my Mitshibushi doesn't have leather seat). I love Cars with good sound system & GPS; back 360 degree camera; blindspot & close range sensor. I hate going to the Mechanic so I won't like to own a car that always have electrical, mechanical or leg problems. Since I got this Mitsubishi, I've only changed oil & 2 front tyres so far.


PS: B4 u start questioning my source of income;I must tell u that some of us women are doing well for ourselves & are real legit hustlers, joined with favor from God our creator. I have a govt job, do contracts & also own a successful business. I started a real estate company sometime in 2018 (don't ask me how) but this is our best year so far amiss COVID. I'd like a more presentable & durable car cos I drive around alot with prospective clients & families.


Pls don't refer me to range rover, Bently, Ferrari or G-wagon. I'm not a celebrity. I labour so hard for my money but also like good things.


Warning: Please no useless comments. If u have nothing to contribute, read & pass. This question is not for kids on NL.

Any car you see people driving in large number is a nice reliable ride.
Personally corolla 2010 upwards is a nice choice.

Let's be clear. The only reason y'all hate loan apps is because you took a loan you know you can't/won't pay back.

After agreeing to the terms and conditions of the loan, you all come back crying online to castigate the same loan app that choose to help you in your desperate hour.

Imagine condemning sokoloan for debiting your account without notice Are you people ma.d? Did you read the terms and conditions of the loan during your application?

You used your hand to submit your contact, yet come back crying and asking why sokoloan called your contacts. Some of you are just m.ad.

Btw, 99% of Nigerians are not credit worthy. You all are the same people that fail to pay back interest-free loans given to you by friends, neighbors and relatives.

One sided view point.
Imagine taking a loan from Soko up to 5 times without defaulting.
The 6th time you default by one day maybe due to delay in salary, and that very day someone calls you up and starts calling you names, stupid man, shameless man. Not minding your previous clean records... Now tell me how would u feel?
Other loan apps don't behave that way.

seunmohmoh:
What happens if you register with a loan app(bvn included) and you don't borrow? I registered with them but changed my mind about borrowing. I tried disconnecting from them but couldn't find the option (fair money). Abeg my account safe?

It's safe. If u want to be extra sure opt for new ATM card, and render the one they have useless.

Redpanter:
I won't blame them entirely. If you know how we Nigerians behave you'd understand. Many don't have the intention of paying back the loan they borrowed. If they are too gentle they'll go bankrupt, na madness we dey like....

There's one other loan company like that(forgot the name), they'll only threaten to message your contacts but they won't. A guy here on Nairaland was saying they are disturbing him too much with calls, so for that he's not going to pay back and he knows they won't message his contacts.

If you are not certain of paying back the loan at the stipulated time don't borrow. No be by force... If you know what these loan companies don see for Nigerians hand you won't blame them, just like a "wounded lion", It's do or die to them now, they don't care how it affects you, they want their money back by fire by force

I agree with you to an extent. There are other loan companies that don't treat their customers that way. And they too operate in the same Nigeria.
Those Soko people eh! Insult is part of their training.

This may vary from 1 vehicle to the other and also the level of the damage before repair.
How far with the Toks racks... Have you enjoy it for many months....

3 months now still working well

ZIINI:
Mine happened this afternoon 9 months no Dey lie

Congrats

Biglittlelois:
Hi, I'm out of body experience

Twice.

I'm interested in that shii

I will strongly advice you leave it as it is. If your ac is chilling under 2pm sun, then you don't need to fix or service anything. If you must buy gas, then buy Harp gas. It's in small can

peddas:
I have been using this honda civic 2007 for almost 7 years now , It was bought brand new, I have never done any repairs or even service any ac components .But am thinking of servicing the ac system, though the ac still works perfectly fine, is this advisable?, if yes which components should be serviced? And which should not be touched.I also feel the gas should need top up , it has never been top up. And what is the best freon I can get .thanks

So... My camry 2004 power steering rack was leaking..
I have been managing it for some months because of so many unpleasant things I have read on fixing steering rack.

The problem has gotten to a stage where any fluid pour will not last more than 1 hour.
At this stage.. I know it's time to fix and I cannot continue to top the oil.


So, I did a lot of search online and I realized the 3 option available to me.
Buy brand new rack 100k
Buy tokunbo rack 45k
Fix my rack 15k.

With a lot of sad story online on tokunbo rack, I settle for fixing of my rack for 15k and a plan B of buying a brand new rack if the mission is unsucessful.

Note: I was advised by a steering Rack seller to go for repair if that is the first time I am having the leakage.

So. I called my mechanic he removed the rack, took it to ladipo, the kit was changed and he fixed it.
I also assisted when it was time to bleed the steering rack. ( all the fixing was done in my compound)

After fixing the rack, my steering is only soft when on motion and when on a spot or taking a turn on low speed, steering is strong and need force .

Omo see me see wahaala

My steering was not like this when it was leaking..? It's as soft as agege bread.

Why should it be stiff after fixing Rack.

So... My mechanic started with a theory that my pump is weak and that why it's s not soft and we need to repair the pump.

Haaah... This is the same pump I have been using before you remove my rack and my steering is as soft as agege bread.

I no greee with this theory and I quickly call the best Mechanic on Nairaland Oga gazzuzz

He also supported my claim that my pump is not bad but my rack and I should change it.

I told my mechanic that I have called the Oga of all mechanic in Nigeria and he also said my pump is okay..

I no dey ready to dey do trial by error or to dey waste money.

After dragging forth and back.. He said he made calls too and we are advised to fix my pump
I agree to proceed but we must drive the car to Ikeja first gate because I don't want to entertain any story again.

Due to the public holiday on Friday and Monday we decided to fix the pump on Tuesday...

So... On Friday morning.
While. Driving out of my gate.
A stone was holding on to my Tyre.
So I needed to Rev very high to bypass the stone.
As I fire my engine gently, I felt a relieve on my steering.
My steering became humble like a child beaten without mercy.
The steering that was strong became very soft.
I have been enjoying the car for 4 days now..
Steering is still very soft... No leakage and still monitoring the situation.

Summary of story.

There are fewer story of steering rack fixing on nairaland and I need to add this to help others who might want to search for this info in the future.

We cannot understand how car work 100%,
If not for the holiday we might have pay to fix the pump and may still not get the expected result.

Take opinion from others when making a decision on car repair.

Oga Gazzuzz is a good Man, he called and explained to me with his airtime when he saw my missed call.

1 year after I bought the car... I am still enjoying it... No engine or gear problem....i know others who we purchase at the same time and they have encounter engine and gear problem

Olusharp
Food Don land oooo

Don't go to sleep yet oo! Na so I fix my 98 crv for 15k, they changed the kit and all. It lasted for just one month and I began to see droplets of oil. 2months later I was back to square one. I later bought the toks rack for 35k.
I'm not saying yours will do same but....
