Nettuno:
Oga Gazzuz,
Please I just got this 2008 highlander limited. At first start in the morning, it produces heavy grey smoke and water from the exhaust, but in the course of driving it clears up. I put my finger in the exhaust pipe and it comes out painted with heavy black powder and water and smells like something burnt. There is no oil leak, shortage or check engine light. What could be the cause of this thick grey/blue smoke and water from exhaust in the mornings particularly? Thanks.

I guess your friend in the US that married on a student Visa was you.

I believe "People" say US is a Sane country and since you live here, I expected you to behave like a Sane man and not resort to insult during arguments.

I still stand on my word and hear this, people without papers sef finance cars too.

I live in Chicago, Illinois. Call your people in Chicago, they will tell you whatsapp.

If generated SSN could work for doordash, lyft how much more of insurance company..

This is a public forum, so I wont say much.

We might live in the same US BUT we got different orientation.

I'm ignoring you moving forward.

Goodnight

If they know they need to get married before they become illegal, that means they know what's up unless they dont want to open up to you

IL, CA, TX etc. People full there driving with no license/Nigera DL and they are fine.

Infact I know someone that had accident with other 4 cars, no license and police arrested her. She got bailed for $200, got a ticket of $1500 and even went to court, Judge dismissed the 1500$ ticket, told her to pay $500 and Yes, Insurance paid for the repairs of those people car except hers.

If you dont have a US driver license, u will do insurance and but insurance will deny you when u have accident.

No Police will ask for your immigration status except maybe in AZ.

No system is perfect and like I said, I DONT SUPPORT USING FAKE DOCS TO BYPASS PROCESS.

End of discussion, Thanks for your time.

The problem na is how to get a qualified technician in Warri. Plus, I hear Nissan has a lot of rules. Pls I need education on these. And again, pls what are the specifications of fluids (engine oil, coolant, transmission fluid, etc) to be used for the car? Sorry to bother you.

PhantomProbe:
Help... 2004 Nissan pathfinder. Cranks slowly, but doesn't start. No spark too. Has about 119k miles.
My dad got car Nigerian-used. Initially, car jerks when accelerating. Also, won't rev past 2500 rpms. Had mechanic change the oil and air filter prior to embarking on trip from Lagos to Warri with the car.
...

since then, it has refused to start again with whatever battery. Had to be towed from Benin to Warri.
Present state is, it cranks slowly but won't start. First of all, mech dat came to check her suggested the timing chain must have skipped. And then later, he found out that the spark plugs aren't getting voltage when he checked. So he advised we get anoda flywheel sensor. Brought like two, (although he wasn't sure if the ones he brought were still functional) but no positive result. Still slow cranks, and no start. Had it scanned for codes yesterday and it showed these: P1131 current SWIRL CONT SOL/V and P0335 1ST TRIP CKP SEN/CIRCUIT.
Please, take am easy with us, we have obviously abused this car. I fearWe need advice, what can we do to get this car running again?

And all the Nissan/Infiniti geeks here.

But your inscription said do all you can to help us to help you or something like that, that's what is been emphasized here all this while.
Treat people better so they can as well be better to you, it's a two way thing.
You people don't seem to get the picture, most people let me not say Nigerians look down on drivers a lot. Once they place an order you automatically become their slave and they believe they can behave anyhow they like since it's their money.
Their is no justification for bad behaviour, even if you think u want to help the person.
Do anyhow like they say you see anyhow, customer care you people always refer to is different what we are talking about here.

fabiano09:

AngryIgboMan:
You can tell your story to the marines Sir! Any driver that listens to this your advise is at serious risk already. Am a realist and I choose not to be cowed into submission by any bagger rider.

....]

Me: Hello Ma. You requested for Uber. Am at Lateef Jakande. I want to confirm your address is 100001 Acme road.

Rider: Why are you not on your way yet? Oga am tired of these nonsense from you drivers. Am very late for church. 2 drivers have cancelled on me and I will be very angry with you if you cancel.

Me: Madam is that a threat? Hope you know this is my car right and am not your personal driver? You must behave well mannered if you want this ride to happen. Be courteous of your next words because you lack courtesy.
....

By the way if I may ask, Dru23 that has been saying things about being enduring and humble in the Service industry in order to become a boss... What has he achieved with his live aside retailing Mobil oil and arguing with people on Nairaland?

austino677:
please recommend a good brake fluid

clino:
Benz manual compressor ... ok... thanks i appreciate your time

topsydee007:
I agree with u..some riders are just rude since they were conceived .
I have experienced a rider shouting on the phone even when I have not even gotten to pick up location. For me...I simply reply them. If he/she cannot wait for me to arrive or is not comfortable with anything...simply cancel.

At times. .giving rider impression that u are not desperate to make a trip will make them calm down ..

I hate personally when someone request a ride..let's say u are going to the airport. Your flight is 4pm ..u request a ride 3:30pm especially long distance and traffic route...and u are shouting on the driver to drive like James bond or to jump the traffic. Is it my fault that u left home or office late. Why should I bear the risk of your lateness.

I politely tell them am not the reason for their lateness as I can't drive above my speed limit. ..as far as am concerned ..safety comes first....I will also them dem.if you ain't comfortable..I can park so u take another rider. Forget the money....I bet u....they will shut up.

peeps4u:
I've heard you. You assumed that for uber or they told you that ia the reason for choosing "partner" word?
Uber can still call drivers employers or workees withiut using the word "taxi drivers" but they chiose partners because in reality, the realtionship is partnership, not boss to servant relationship.

topsydee007:
This issue of rider-driver relationship.

Most times before a rider will behave rudely to u..they would have accesed your dressing, countenance and the way u speak. If u dress well, speak well and have a good carriage. 98% of riders will respect u.

Rubbiish:
@bold just see what u are saying?
They paid to get good service not to be the boss
Is Sowore a boss to Falana because he hired him to defend him in court?
Do u pay to be the boss when u go to hospital for treatment? You people make it sound as if only riders are doing drivers a favour, it is a two way thing. They are both doing each other a favour. The rider needs the driver to get to his destination, just like we all need the services of another to achieve something, like hiring a lawyer to defend me in court doesn't make me his boss. A friend called me last night he was stranded and all drivers were declining his request because of his location distance, when u find yourself in such a situation, only then u will know u are doing no driver a favour but yourself

peeps4u:
I agree with your arguement about service being rendered, but there is no boss anywhere. Riders arent bosses to drivers. Services are only rendered and paid for, no bosses anywhere.
It is the "boss" mentality that makes some riders want to order drivers around like their employees.
That someone renders someone services doesnt make the other a boss, so far the service provider isn't employed under him.

Chuwaa:
I recall your assertion about not eating in foreign cabs nor messing the car with it's repercussions. They know their rights and can never agree to the bolded. Maybe its time we apply same same standards across board. That was how I witnessed a local girl fighting a bolt driver because he didn't allow her change messed diapers in his car. She was bold in claiming right because another driver may have permitted her. The contract is to drive from point A to B, not to own the driver. I wonder why they don't carry such attitudes with airlines, after all they paid for it.

davit:
People like that are rare bro. These people belive that once you accept their request they are in charge till the ride ends

Smartchoiice:
She doesn't have most parts on her shelf but procures them timely with WARRANTY

Is it a part they would have on their shelf?......

arsenalman:
I urgently need a good power steering pump for my acura 2005 tl. The steering has been stiff especially when the car is not in motion.

My mechanic has tried about three different tokumbo pumps but the problem has persisted. I will appreciate if anyone can link me to where i can buy an original power steering pump. I haven't been able to drive the car for days because of this problem.

My location is Porthacourt. Thanks
