Why telling her to put up or shut up?

You should have done so instead.

Are you now denying gazzuzz who you both do business together in and outside of this forum?

Go back and compare what you said to what she said SMH. Someone buying from you does not make you "pals". I wasn't even in the country most of the times a transaction happened. I've been very clear on my thread about what happened so stop trying to make it more than what it is. Nonsense.

mexxy1:
Not entirely correct. Have you ever owned one?

I drove a Mazda 626 1999 model from 2003-2014 before switching vehicles. No major problems whatsoever despite using it DAILY and even for traveling.

That same Mazda was sold last year after it had been parked from 2014 till 2018, and the buyer still uses it though, he uses it for commercial purposes and isn't maintaining it (body is now rough with broken rear lights) but, I see him almost every week and, it is still working and serving him daily.

Yes, a Miata. We also fixed a lot in our Houston shop over 10 years

EgunMogaji2:
This one is easy.

For me it’s “Why would you leave America and move back to Nigeria?”

Also, “Why are you driving Korope?”

Second. That and "are you sure you're Nigerian"?

Also, "wetin you get for us/me/the boys?"

dicksonadams:
What about the other concerns I listed, any advice on those?

Can't advice you on body parts.

Kassidy4luv:
Good evening, please which engine oil is recommended for Toyota Camry 2005( big daddy) and gear transmission too.
Thanks

What's your VIN? Or the first three digits to settle this euro or American argument so you can be advised on the right oil?

samadex2007:
0w40 or 0w30 is good but to be on safer side,rather go for 5w40 considering the viscosity and driving condition here.

We have this discussed this at length. Please stop telling people this. Nigeria is no hotter than Europe, US or THE MIDDLE EAST!

dicksonadams:
Hello madam Radautoworks, please why do say this car is a good. From my research the car WAs only manufactured in Canada, how is the availability of parts (headlight, bumper etc) , does it share engine and transmission with any other Honda. Any major issues?

price, miles, reliability

ping2ping:
Could you expanciate on "as with any Mazda once it starts giving problems...". What are the problems you are referring to plz? What are the peculiar problem with Mazda car?

I will base my decision to get this car on inputs on this. I'm already in love with the car. I was considering Toyota Picnic but the car is just bland with no ecstasy n used mostly for commercial purposes.

Thanks for all comments

They don't respond to not having routine maintenance or "kazeeming" well. Don't maintain properly, you're looking at engine and transmission problems quickly. Mess with the electrical and it starts a Domino effect.

This one looks like it was owned by a little old lady who hardly drove it . Ask amdman to check it for you if you're really interested. If it is what I think it is, all you'll need did oil changes and routine maintenance and it will serve you well for years.

ping2ping:
Plz who knows about this Mazda5, it looks a very beautiful minivan n has ALL I look for in a minivan. However, being a Mazda product i wish to know more about it in terms of durability, availability n cost of parts.

Thanks for helping me out.

Economical to own as far as consumption but as with any Mazda once it starts giving problems... That being said, that one seems to have quite a bit of life in it. You'll know more if he inspects for buyer.

Someone in this thread desperately needs attention and is trying to get it by goading me. Some really childish ish IMO.

EgunMogaji2:
Hello folks, I’ve been dealing with something that I haven’t seen before and it’s puzzling. I have a few ideas but let’s see.

Vehicle: 1980’s Subaru Libero, 1.2 liter 3 cyl.

Issue: Starter Rolls the engine perfectly when the engine is cold. When the engine is warmed up the starter becomes sluggish. Doesn’t spin at enough revolution to start the engine.

Recent Work: My mechanic changed the rings and afterwards the issue started.

Tests: When left to cool the engine starts, issue is the same with another known good battery.

Thoughts: I’m thinking the rings are too tight BUT if so why the intermittent cold/hot starts?

I thank you in advance for all intelligent and on topic responses.

Was this happening before the rings were changed and have you checked the oil pressure?

mcvities:
This question has been waiting for an answer on two of your threads and you chose to ignore it.

I could have sworn I replied... Body parts are not our thing. Sometimes we have for certain models but my servers crashed from a power surge so I can't check.

Tnycee:
@radautoworks, do you do panel and body work?? Else, can you recommend someone who can do a good job?

Urgent response needed

Not yet. We will start some light work very soon. In the meantime there is no one I know to recommend the painters I know charge 400k for SUV

thebigkendo:
Brother even with bonanza or promo i am very sure you would have still

That child has reached here to?

dicksonadams:
Hello madam Radautoworks, what is the current price to change my front strut at your office. Pontiac vibe 2005. Missed out of the sss

Damn. You should have made a deposit to hold the price! N114,869 now for just the struts.

ronkusesther:
Radauto is not as clean as you think. She is close pal of gazzuzz.

Calculusx is just a pretender, a great liar and a dubious person who is always full of himself. Don't forget that he was called out by cosplay, legalwealth and few others for frauds he carried out.

I'm going to need you to put up or shut up. Please don't speak about things you know nothing about.

Smartchoiice:
This is billed 1000 Rand in SA. I'll rather order from SA. Thanks

Even better! We want the best for our customers.

Smartchoiice:
Oh for a pair I believe?

Not possible for us to be cheaper than the US. I suggest you order it to a freight forwarder then the freight forwarder to you in Nigeria.

thebigkendo:
Ekiti lecturer right now

That kid looks fast!

Smartchoiice:
It must. Find it please

Ah, now 2002 I can find. N62,966 each with a 2 year warranty.

Smartchoiice:
Yes. B6

Not in my system

[quote author=Smartchoiice post=83083360][/quote]It's a 2000-2004?

Smartchoiice:
Nurey maybe but he also believes the illusions created by the ogba gang... calculux never.... Was he not the one that allegedly sold the cement patched transmission Lexus to legalwealth?...

If you're looking for neutrality..
Sooperrescue and costee even sultaan or egunmogaji2

I like the idea of egun but he would never do it

Smartchoiice:
Ok quote the Monroe please

Year, make, model please

Smartchoiice:
Ogba gang are going to copy this again

sigh

Smartchoiice:
A4 B6 2000-2004/ B7 (2002-2009 Front Shock Absorber (KYB) is this available and affordable with warranty

i don't bring in KYBs because of all the counterfeits in the market. Just Monroe.

White04:
Thanks man. I will do exactly as advised.

No. Post inspection results here especially scan and NLers will tell you if its a go or not. Don't let them convince you to forgo a computer scan because there are no lights. Codes can be erased to get rid of lights but they'll come up on a scan

White04:
Good day brother, please I need your expertise on this:

What is rhe major difference between a full option vehicle and the other.

I intend getting a Lexus es330 2006 model, and I noticed the price difference between the full option and the other is about 300 to 400k.

I want to know if it worth it to spend 400k more to get the full option. What do you advise?

It completely depends on the vehicle. For one, I can see one has in-dash display and the other doesn't. They may also have different suspension and/or engine. Whether the difference is worth the money depends on what you want in a car. You need to just look up the specs of each of the two cars you are comparing. Sites like edmunds.com make it easy.

ALSO, TAKE THE CARS FOR A FULL INSPECTION BEFORE YOU BUY EITHER ONE. HAVE IT PUT ON A LIFT AND A COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC RUN ON IT. A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE. THE PEOPLE INSPECTING COULD EVEN TELL YOU THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO. AND DON'T GET A KAZEEM BECAUSE IT'S CHEAPER. 2.5-10k now to protect 2M.

Hazardfan1:
Hi guys, u people here are my e-family when it comes to car matters.

I made the biggest mistake of my life by trusting a 32-year old mechanic with my car key.

I need to bring ds out, maybe I could get help or advice on the next step to take and this would be a lesson to many as well.

My friend had his wedding last month, he needed to use my car, so I was to drive himself and the wife back to Ibadan from Lagos.

Drive to Lagos from Ibadan was perfect. On Saturday evening, when we were done with wedding after all the guests had left the venue, the new couple, myself and another friend got into the car to leave for Ibadan, dt was how ignition refused to start, I tried everything, car wasn't cranking, I opened bonnet, touched the battery, car started and then we left for our hotel rooms to get our stuff and prepare for the journey back to Ibadan.

On getting back to the car, i tried starting again, it didn't start, I was confused, it was getting late, retightened the battery terminals but, No, it didn't work o, ba3 was very ok, there was no mechanic around to help check it. We tried jumpstarting, still didn't work.

One of us sha placed hand on one of some hoses around engine area, I tried it again and it worked, dt was how we got into the car and left Lagos. All through the journey, car drove very fine and smooth, I did 170km at some point sef, it was a smooth ride to Ibadan, my friend alighted but I didn't put off engine, he left and we proceeded to my friend's house but on our way, he decided to get Baygon at a supermarket. I had to put engine off, we tried starting again, nd ds time it took almost 2hrs of trial and error, car refused to start, we eventually had to leave it there that Saturday night nd went home.

Long story short, I called the mechanic guy who helped work on the suspension parts the previous week to come have it checked, he said car would start dt it was a fuse problem, apparently, fuel wasn't supplying to the engine nd I had almost a full tank. I didnt know how he did it. He opened the back seat, connected some wires and car started fine. He said to me that, a rewire would have to work on it the following day which was a Monday, I told him to let us take the car home but he insisted on taking it to his workshop so rewire can easily work on it b4 I get there the next day as I was meant to travel back to my base nd then, he made me believe it wont be safe for me to drive the car with the kinda quick-fix connections he did, so I obliged him.

I followed him to the workshop and saw him Park my car with no issues, I went back home.
Got there the following day for my car and got the most shocking news of my life, my car had gotten in an accident, an head-on collision with a stationary Jetta.

The bastard took my car out in the night to a club/bar, got drunk and got in an accident dt rendered the front end badly damaged. According to the Police officer who towed the car to the nearby station, it happened around 10pm Sunday night.

Case is in Court, next Court appearance is on November 8th, nothing has been done about my car, the guy has been bailed to move freely since he met the bail criteria.

I am the one suffering for everything as I have no other car to drive to work, I can't even attend functions, I don't know what to do? Can I get people to buy the car in that condition, add money and get another one, even if its the common Corolla, or I should let them fix it like they have been begging me to, they said dey have been able to raise a little above 200k and they have 300k to 400k budgetted to fix the car.

What do I do?

Cc Radautoworks, Gazzuzz, Nwanneni, Logobenz3, Eddee, Smartchoiice, Kingreign, Weyreypey, HeavenlyBang, Nurey, etc etc..

U all knew when I got the car in February. Make una advice me biko, I'll post pictures soon.

I wish I did comprehensive insurance like Gazzuzz advised.

If you haven't done yours, it's not too late.

Let him fix what he can and then try to sell in the condition he fixes it. You'll get a lot more.

seunoj:
Wch void. My experience with is nothing to write home about.
Wch coy charges demurrage for picking up an item after 24hrs of arrival including failure to notify up of the same as earlier agreed.

If DHL tries to deliver to you and u are not available for some reason or the other, they will retry at no cost.

I don't have issues with GIG pricing, I hate failure to deliver as promised and terrible customer service.
Imagine u send sumtin to a friend n he warns you never to use them. That says a lot.

The company I have now, my last delivery was shipped last Saturday from Atlanta and I received it on Thursday . Full communication, manifest, etc. Let me not derail this thread any more Sha

sooperrescue:
They are filling a void,a big void. DHL is expensive and Nipost is on life support. If there's any issue, it is better to talk to the management team in order for them to improve.

Been there done that for almost a year. When I walked in the building last month, they still had no idea who I was or the issue despite many emails and calls from my logistics team and myself

Sorry to anyone who has an appointment today but this water? Lekki? I cannot can.

Baby Radu and I go dey house
