You are right. I nearly held on to items a girl wanted delivered early this year on Indriver. She put Lekki Paradise 2 whereas receiver dey paradise 3. I got to know this when I reached paradise 2. Called the sender only for her to begin insulting me, that I should just take the item to Paradise 3. For those who know these estates, they are not at the same location. Ok sender you will add something to your money o. Na so she change am for me o. Las las I carry items go house that day. She resorted to begging the following day and luckily for her she stays close to me. If not, I would have helped her use bolt to return them so that she pays more.

Delivery trips dey most times get k leg.

Reason I don't do them most times unless I need to change location or get to a preferred destination, most cases once rider informs me it's a delivery I simply tell them 'sorry I don't do deliveries'.

Late last month I was at somolu and i got a trip on indriver to 5 Palm Event centre at Oniru, it was a delivery of some printed stuffs like that.

On my way receiver called and I told him I was on 3rd mainland bridge, all along I set destination on Bolt 4 where? Notin show.

Got to Obanlede I got one trip to Oniru beach I just say make I run am, all na d hustle, the trip gave me 1500 or there about.

Got to 5Palm security as usual, I was outside oh called this guy up to 6times he didn't answer I called sender his number was not responsiblegrin na so MTN tabbi Airtel talk amgrin

This trip on Boot was about 4k+ but rider offered 3.6k or there about, I just managed it because I wanted to be on the island. I just say in my mind l, una don enter today. Security started to look me like say I carry bomb come, why Benz go just come stand here like say... Shey Dem dey use Benz do Uber ni... I supposed that was what he was thinking in his mindgrin because I could tell from the way he was looking at me.

I just moved away from the place to a 500m distance and parked.

Small time, sender called and was like how far you don deliver?
Me: I called no answer, called urs not reachable/responsible.
R: guy but na d number I take dey call you so na
M: are you insinuating I'm lieing? Guy I've already left, your trip is a fix price and I'm a business man, if you want me to deliver your item you'll have to pay extra or send my initial money then request a ride to come pick it and deliver it to the person.
R: Guy you know watin you dey talk self? Watin dey do you self? Does this make any sense to you?
M: watin dey do me? Okay.

I ended the call.

Next receiver called,
Rc: pls where are you?
M: I'd left, got another request now in phase 1 if you want me to deliver ur item pls make payment of 5k to my aza then I'll bring it right away.
Rc: pls just deliver my item pls I need it

Next minute I got credit alert 5millioncheesy

I waited like 3minutes drive down to the gate then called him to come pick it, he sent 2 persons.

Next time they won't try such with another driver.

U r lucky to get a car with low miles. I want to upgrade, but I am looking at getting 2009 to 2012 Toyota Corolla, but from what i heard, it has electrical faults and also burns oil. I am also looking at getting 2012 Kia Rio, but I heard that parts are expensive and is prone to overheating. What year is your skoda Octavia and does it share parts with Volkswagen, I drive manual too.

Head gasket don japaa cry

Has the vehicle ever overheated in your hands before? Go and ask the owner about any overheating or head gasket change works he has done on the vehicle before.

Unless he wants to pin it on your head tomorrow grin

Or

Maybe the vehicle had a small radiator/water passage leak and the owner poured fufu inside to block it

It’s simply your fuel pump getting weak. Go and buy another new fuel pump and enjoy your car

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

No.need to worry except for the rodents because they can eat up some wires and you may start having some electrical failure later.

Driver car for a full day or more then disconnect one of the terminal (-ve) b4 going to bed. If not that rodents has turned the place to a sleeping lot due to car not frequently used car can be there for years and any day you come to start it it will start after connecting the battery head.

But wait oh, why park such money bag without putting into use, can I contact you for a deal? It you regret it I've trusted hands line up

Most likely, alternator.

Lush100:
.
Battery was brought brand new 1st february,this year

I seriously doubt if anything is wrong with ur alternator... Ac was left in by the person who used or warmed the car last... That alone can drain battery out. If not that that battery is still good it wouldn't start the car at all self

Alternator is charging reason why the battery light goes off after a little drive but battery is still not well charged reason why the light keeps coming back.

It was the AC that was left in that drained the battery. Drive the car for some time.

For the rodents, they like cool place, if car is in constant use the engine block can be warm b4 morning so they can't stay there. It's normal for rodents to stay in cars parked for a long while. Even in oyinbo land na same thing reason behind the white rats in Nigeria they where imported along cars from overseas

Before I collected the car, the owner told me that it used to overheat that I should always be mindful of it.
Because of that, na everyday before I even start am I dey fill the radiator water and I always have reserved water in the boot just in case. And ever since I been driving it, no sign of overheating at all.
I will have to notify the owner immediately. I don't joke with things that have to do with car, I'm always mindful.
Much respect, boss.

Tell him m to get it fix before it will result to something serious, the gasket is totally gone and that engine is working under serious pressure

Morning ,Hello bosses
I've been a ghost reader here but I need your help and suggestions.

my Camry 2007 works fine but I noticed that whenever I'm in motion and I slow down, if I want to accelerate back, it doesn't pick at once. I have to press like twice or thrice before it picks up.
I guessed it was d trans(just a guess) nd I checked the trans oil.
It was brown(not black nor pink nor purple) but at the normal mark.
Now, I've decided to change it.
So,
1. pls can it truly be the transmission oil.
2. How do I recognise fake and original Toyota WS fluid?


I'd really appreciate your kind and genuine response

Is there check engine light on the dash? If yes, scan the car first.
It could just be as little as air filter or spark plugs
Does the car idle smoothly or roughly.
Are you having problems climbing hills??

Alternator isn't charging battery again if your battery light is on when the engine is running.

if it happens that u put on the engine with the AC on, ones in a while, it's not a problem but if it's every time, u will damage compressor and weaken ur battery cos AC will draw current from the battery directly at startup before alternator begins to work.

Apart from the interior materials and electrical aspects that are inferior, the engine, gear and body is still a Toyota. So no wahala.
The thing is anything made in or for Africa is always inferior to the oyinbo version.

How did u know I was the one u met yesterday? grin

Just a wild guess on my part. A friend of mine had his battery indicator come up, it turned out the alternator was the culprit.

THE LEAK
Got my hands dirty this morning trying to resolve this issue once and for all.

Happens there is a leak no doubt however, it isn't a HOIST leak but a rusted water pipe leak.

Please, what's the best adhesive to use on a rusted pipe? I am thinking super glue. The 4min gum I have seems like it won't hold, from past experience using it.

Well that's the problem. The pipe runs from underneath the engine somewhere. During the gasket change I think the pipe was disturbed, looking at now, I remember applying glue to it some 2yrs back.

The worst problem that can kill or happen to a man is he not knowing where his problem is coming from. Now that you know the solution is in your hands.

Remember my hoist post, I ended by saying it's only the Holy Spirit of God that can help you guys discover where that fault is, and He( the Holy Ghost) did it. He was the one that sent you out that day after parking the car at the office and draw your attention to the water in the ground.
