Visiting is not a problem,question is how would the transportation be handled? 1, (lexus) not affordable or make we ask our former I.g about his transmissions mission. 2, ( EOD) confusion if the engine na ivtec plugs or v6. The monkey yanch for knee might happen b4 the visiting as he would be visiting comptroller general of customs to allow his boys save passage 3 (Horse) no show. 5 (keke maruwa) fuel economy,but wouldn't speak well of HRM,since he needs to make a grand entrance 6 (Running shoes) YES YES,he can jog his way down there,all HRM has to say is,I was just exercising past here and then I recall u live close by Only to show up with canvass looking like this obekediamondfuto: 6 Likes

GAZZUZZ: Monday morning, I gallantly entered ladipo market, Bought the fuse box, got some other parts too and headed back to workshop. I installed the Fusebox coupled the car and it started just fine. Local man was impressed with him sef. For quality assurance, I took the vehicle home that night, it sailed through very thick traffic like a champion and got home without event. I reported my successes to the client and told him in the morning he could come pick up the car. Early next morning 6am I headed out with the car. 300meters from my house All lights on cluster went off..... And engine shut down I told my self gazzuzz the terrestrial powers are after you After every manipulation I did to try to start the car wa a waste of time. I had to serve my ban like a man I waited it out, by 6:45am, car started I drove to the shop, parked vehicle and left in another vehicle. At this point there were more questions than answers. I messaged client not too come for car again. That day passed and I did nothing to the car. Next day, I started car in workshop and left engine running. After about 3 hours it went off I inspected all the adjoining wiring under the dashboard on drivers side, found more sockets that had corrosion, and cleaned them after the cleaning car started, but this time around I took no chances, I cannot come and kee my sef, I left vehicle running in workshop. Car still went off again and as usual we had to wait it out. 3 Likes |

Next series of days I did nothing, I just left the car and focused on my hybrid and other jobs that came in. After a lot of (gazzuz.z how far with my car) from the client I told the bois to take down the dashboard so we can inspect all the wiring. We found more corrosion on sockets and we were pleased 2 Likes

left the car again for another day to attend to other things. After a lot of checks, fuel gauge was sorted out, I left engine to run almost the whole day and Ma guy was gallant... In the evening I went to buy fuel it went well. I parked it in the workshop, and went home. Next day, I sent the bois on errands with the same vehicle... it went well... We were all pleased, but the battery light was still slightly dim when engine was running. Tested the charging voltage and it was within spec. I started checking all ground connections and sanded them before reconnecting.. All grounding in engine bay also. The battery light was still doing strong thing. I added more ground connections from the body to the battery and from batt + to the positive connector on external Fusebox. Battery light finally went off. 1 Like |

left engine running next day and car went off after several hours. At this point, one false Prophet that visited, said it was the immobiliser and transmitter unit, that he had seen this type of problem before. I said thank you for your words of wisdom, I entered market and bought a matching pair of immobiliser and transmitter. reprogrammed it and prepared for my over 100mile journey to test the vehicle. I informed the client that problem had been solved and I was going to deliver next day after this test. L 1 Like |

If you have ever driven a camry with a 2gr-fe engine and very stable suspension setup, you might have an idea of the bliss driving one... Vehicle is an aggressive monster on the road, even the likes of HeavenlyBang would have a run for their money if I catch them on the road. [img]https://media./images/28745044cad1d71c5e52c5d5b78afe9f/tenor.gif[/img] Drove from the mainland to lekki at night crossing the dreaded third mainland bridge, it sailed through, visited my painter and inspected ongoing projects. headed back to the mainland after informing client that car was now ok. As I was approaching the start of 3MB just close where the police car usually parks, car off o! At this point, I must say this particular car has a gentle spirit, just like the owner... It always goes off in safe places I parked, opened bonnet opened Fusebox, pressed all the wires there, disconnected and reconnected all the sockets I could find, went back inside, started car and for the first time I didn't have to wait it out! Just then police came with a flashlight and asked if I was fine, I said yes sir, thanked him and drove off. This time I drove carefully and slow, I called the client and told him, it is possible it is the front fuse box and not the inside one that is messing up. He said Gazzuzz no problem change it as long as it will work! He also said he was tired of jumping bus and people splashing water on him with their cars I said no problem. 2 Likes |

I said to my sef, Uncle let's go and press the front Fusebox again Came down gallantly, disconnected all the wires on Fusebox, pressed here pressed there.. Omo car no answer me o! Just then Mrs gazzuz.z called "is it still car you are repairing by this time? " I had to explain my sef and told her to keep the Knights watch as winter might be really long.

I looked in the distance and saw 2 men struggling on the express road. I had to arm my self, as I cannot go down without a fight! I was also on the phone with the client and I told him I shall call him back! Opened the trunk, look for my shiny metal and studied my environment One man ran under a lonely bridge, and another went in pursuit. At this point for the first time since this car came, I decided to check fuse description/location in front fusebox. Found IG2 fuse with my flash light from my phone I saw a wire sticking out from it, I removed the fuse and adjusted the wire went inside to start the car, car started I turned the car off went back to remove the fuse, studied went back inside to start car... car had exact symptoms of not starting, no lights on cluster and cooling fan spinning on high speed I put the fuse back again car started! Local man said to himself so nah you!!!! 6 Likes

Ladies and Gentlemen that was how N50 fuse nearly turn me to mad pesin For educational purposes, this is what happened. The fuse must have gotten burnt some time in the past and a technician, just placed the copper wire around it, but the copper wire did not sit properly in the contacts, and the connection was partial. The reason why I never checked fuses was that each time car went of, all you had to do was wait it out and car would start, the waiting period was not consistent. Fuses are usually working or not working so really gooffed on this one The good side is I am yet to collect any money from the client, and yes he is reading this thread and yes I am coming for you (is it me that tell u to use wire inside fuse? ) Car has been returned to client, and has been out for 3days and no more switching off in motion. Buy a fuse today, save your self and your technician. Say no to copper wire on fuse. The end 21 Likes 3 Shares
