slamstanlee:
Me and one of my riders slept in the car last nite. So epic!

From lekki to somewhere around diamond estate, igando.
Left around 9.03pm, ETA was around 85mins. But rider insist we go through oshodi then ejigbo....
Na there we spend d nite till about 11pm for traffic amd large pool of water.
I don kuku call my bro for igando say i go crash there....
Got to destination some minutes before 12am.
Rider requested for account details before we got there.
Now, she just got down from d car, claimed she had sent me 6k, now i should take her manager (second rider) to cement busstop den end the trip. Wtf! Which kain yeye arrangements be this?

Ok. Make we take am do late night waka. Its Saturday anyways.
Fare was 5400. My preferred route would hv been 4k max.

Before i realized, she had opened the gate and went straight upstairs.
She didn't show me debit alert on her phone.
She didn't show me transfer successful thing.
Nothing, she just went like that.

Ok oga ur client don go leave us, but lets wait for alert before i leave here.
Rider; no she must hav sent it, let be going
Me: nope, lets wait for alert first. Or do u have the cash just in case...
Rider; no, but i believe she sent it.
Me: ok call her to come down and show me at least d debit alert i will move this car.

We called and she claimed its d network and she can't resend it. I will get it bla bla bla
Me: (we die here)
Oga we will move wen the alert enters. But i beliv she didn't send anything.

All this while i was refreshing my GtB app and yahoo mail. Nothing.
Same time 2 different request were hitting my phone.
One was going to fela shrine, the oda was going to oba akran.
They kept calling, cancelling and re requesting. I was the only driver there 4 sure.

1am.

Rider: oga just take me to my house we can sort it in the morning, or i give u what i have...
Me; broz if u can transfer the cash to me now, we will move now. If i later see hers i will tranfer back.
Rider: i dont have up to that....

Estates security men came with their dane guns, ask questions and left.

I put off engine, wind window down, plenty mosquitoes joined us. Rider stretch flat at back seat and slept off.

Slept off till 4am. Woke and continued

Rider woke 6.30..
Rider: bros can i go now, lemme go get bus to my house...
Me: ok, i will wait for ur madam.

7am
Rider came out, so ugly jeez.
(How d hell did she grab a rich white man)

Started showing me pix, bringing up gist, apologising...
I was just using nose to answer. One loud voice in me wanted to say; pay me my money!.

I just kept calm.
She said her brother will send me the money now.
3mins later.
Alert... 9k
She said 3k+ is for the stress.
Me: thank you (wicked thing)...

Happy sunday jare

Chai! Sorry o. At least she left a pain and suffering fee...?

Cool. You're off 45. Little ways from me but convenient on way to airport. Pop by in October once I'm off baby house arrest. What about your MSDS sheets for your oil?

Thanks to our Mr Transmission-Milex family for the love.

This is not a customer. This is from our Mr. Transmission-Milex family. Much love.

One of the privileges/responsibilities of being a citizen is voting for officials. It's a great thing until you come home open up the mailbox and find this...

Jury duty summons. I got ordered to appear and was chosen to be on the jury for a trial. I will tell you about my experience, it actually turned about to be interesting.

Might be illegal to post this. You might want to either take it down or censor it...

ik121:
Ok ma. Plz is the master cylinder repairable or i have to buy new parts? Plz could u arm me with possible knwledge/involvements? Sorry 4 bugging u alot.

What kind of car is this btw?

GAZZUZZ:
could also be a bad ABS Actuator

I doubt it with what he's describing but if he does that check we'll know.

weyreypey:
Sopperescue...this is your turf. Radautoworks what d'ya think

Dunno. They only offer three weights it looks like. Might be a cheap alternative for some. All I can say is ours has been around for decades and tried and tested. Where is their MSDS sheet? One can compare that way.

Also, I'm currently in Houston. Where is your office/plant? I may go check it out.

ik121:
Tnx for ur response. Unfortunately i'm not in lagos. Yes it's really loose and goes down to the floor. I just managed it to work this morning.

Sight unseen, sounds like the master cylinder. When you are stopped, double pump on the brake and then see if it slowly continues to creep down. That should be confirmation.

ik121:
Good to always come around to assist Gazzuz. Plz i noticed dis morning after driving 20 mile dat my brake system developed a fault. U'll have to push d brake to d extreme before vehicle wil slow down/stop. Plz wat could b d fault b4 i take it to my mech to know what i'm dealing with. Tnx . GAZZUZ, radautoworks, thebigkendo, mayor2013

Need more information. We don't like remote diagnosis because it could be really simple when we finally see it. Is it really hard when you press down or really loose and goes down to the floor immediately?

Let us know if you need parts or supplies

Glad you got car fixed but this is exactly why we stay away from remote diagnosis. It is a lot more time consuming and prone to guesswork than simply seeing the car. Things like the words used to describe the problem can lead us down the wrong path. In this case, the word "whine".

It is not the customer's fault for not knowing technician lingo. So when you ask us a question and we tell you to just bring the car in, now you see why. Some people are okay with remote diagnosis but personally, I'm not unless in VERY obvious cases.

Timbuktu14:

ik121:
I have a well maintained 04 Highlander at 178k miles, for 3 years nw oil change has bn Mobil1 at 3k miles. Sometimes less. But the thing is i'v never changed the transmission fluid since i bought it toks 3 years ago. My mech checks my fluid regularly nd comfirms all fluid ok. Even the power steering fluid, brake fluid dat came wit d vehicle is wat i'm still using. The engine is 1MZ. Plz anything to worry about? Cos my vehicle has a good maintainance culture far from abuse. Tnx. GAZZUZ, Radautoworks

Recommendation is Max 60k miles. Some people are lucky but recommend you change trans fluid and filter asap.

I honestly don't know enough about this to comment. I simply avoid this by buying and bringing in my own vehicle. Unfortunately, not everyone is able to do so.

xule20:
I just left there few hours ago, the receptionist was quoting 67k for oxygen sensor when the technician guy gave him the error code,i just ran with my keke(lol). Nice workshop anyway, is not for people like us biko

Understandable

Backfornow:
I like them too. I've watched all the ones on Netflix already. My friend and I tried to watch The Wedding Party 2 on YouTube, but all the uploads were click bait. Anybody have any ideas on how to watch it or other suggestions of must see NollyWood films?

THERE ARE NIGERIAN MOVIES ON NETFLIX!!??!?

Why do a lot of people see 6-10 days as a long time to wait for a part? Is there a faster way than air freight to bring parts in I don't know about? Then two weeks later they either call back for the part or buy one elsewhere then complain it didn't work

xule20:
I've these two error codes
P0141
P0446. 2004 corolla. What's the total cost to fix it ma'am?

Could be a few things. Will be happy to quote a repair cost once we can see the car to diagnose it.

Olumyyde:
For starters, how much does d engine cost?

Why on God's green earth are you paying attention to this car? Seems my advice feel on deaf ears. I wish you the best but will be unfolding your thread. A word is enough for the wise.

Babyvet:
funny thing, since living here, I don't really watch American movies. I mainly watch old Nigerian movies. Back home I used to dislike them but for some reason now , I love watching them maybe because they give me a nostalgia feeling about Nigeria.

Husband is addicted to them too! (he's not Nigerian though)

Backfornow:
I was going to ask how baby watch is? No baby yet or are you post partum?
I thought about the pass but I try to go in the afternoon before 5, so it is cheaper.

She was born September 6th

It's $5 before noon so it would take for movies to pay for itself. I saw way more than four a month But you also get rewards that rack up quickly and use them for the concessions stand.

Backfornow:
Hey how's it going?
Nothing exciting to report on my hand.
How's the networking and friend finding coming?

The Nun? I heard it's good but i don't do horror movies.
Peppermint was good, saw that.

Soon as I can leave the house, so ready for peppermint. I got the AMC movie pass for $20/month. Three movies a week including new releases,etc. No blackouts. Plus you get discounts on if you buy tickets for someone else. LOVE IT. Saw everything in theaters and a couple on opening day and didn't pay a dime more. Saw Incredibles 2 twice, ant man 4 times, Jurassic Park thrice... You get the idea. If you haven't seen it, plot twist of the month was in Mile 22.

Backfornow:
100% online for me. There are MBA programs that are 1pp% online. I think colleges have come to realize that there is growing demand and interest for online programs.

Mine was hybrid. There are just some things you won't get from online only IMO. We met in person once a week for each class and had some of the best lessons.

zsch:
Please does scion Tc have readily available spare parts in Lagos? @cupidkc @radautoworks

Yes, parts for Scion are available. If not on ground, only take 6-10 days by air freight to bring in at no extra charge.

Not only Google got affected by their censorship policy, also Facebook giving rise to the likes of tencent and wechat.
