Are you very sure about this? You may be right though but I'm very sure giv. Fash stampid it very well because some times that traffic usually starts from ile-zic all the way down to dopomu under bridge

Very very sure. I visited my friend every week Mondays to Fridays till he moved to Igando in 2010. He dropped me off at Roundabout once it's pass 3pm and I always trek to Dopemu to continue my journey.

It was during one period like that I think during [i]fahsola's[/i] tenor the traffic can stretch all the way down to magoro because of motorist going towards that route and then that U-turm was not there so they felt turning the bridge during closing hours to one way would reduce the traffic and it truly did. But when Ambode came in and did that U-turn maybe they forgot to remove the One way grin

Stupid ppl nun ni
Not at the bolded. I have known that road as one way since 2003 when I used to visit a friend around vulcanizer bus stop (Akowonjo).

The parking pin itself is relatively cheap, I’d say cheaper than any other sensor or mechanical item found in your gearbox. It sits in between the gears themselves so forget about repairing it by yourself.

The main koko is paying the workmanship fee for bringing the gearbox down, opening it up and replacing the pin itself before reinstalling everything back, not forgetting your transmission fluid which should be replaced too.

See, in the future try to be using your handbrake whenever you park your car and shut the engine off while putting it on Parking gear even if you’re in a filling station and refueling. Transmission park pins are not too sturdy and can actually break (like yours must have done) when someone or something applies little force against your vehicle either forwards or backwards while it’s in Park.

In the meantime keep using your handbrake while you save up for the fix. This predicament will teach you the valuable use of that your handbrake lever by fire by force and the longer you wait before the fix the better the habit of using your handbrake will be instilled in your psyche.

You will be a better, wiser and safer driver for it grin
Thanks for this undiluted lesson. Hope using it like that to save up won't have effect on the gear

When you say still moving what do you mean? That’s the transmission is still pushing the vehicle or that the car still rolls when on a slope?

If it’s the first situation then follow IFSHR’s advice above but if it’s the other one then it’s because your parking pin in your gearbox has broken and you’d need to open it up to fix it (this mostly happens if you don’t use your handbrake at all while parking)

Any idea on what it will cost?

Reason why I insist on having an exit plan. It doesn't have to be perfect before one starts execution.
No pension, No leave bonus, No benefits at all, yet an average driver commits on the average, 10-12 hours daily on a company that can sack you at will without hearing your side of the story.
So after someone don wíwí on his boss head Bolt fit kick one out just like that? Abeg mke una go wash the weewee una wee on ur boss head o.

If I get you right, you rekit the steering rack for 8k, then you paid mech 5k for his services.
Cos I'm quite surprised mech said d guy will take 15k for fixing a leaking steering rack only . After that I will still pay mech cos he said it's a whole day's job.

Abeg where for mainland did you fix it.?
Just seeing this.
That Street beside Randle General Hospital Surulere. U will be facing the workshop directly at the end of the street. Just ask for Ọ̀gá Wole and tell him from Samson Col. U can reach me on 08181058945 when u get there so I can confirm if he's the one. I don't want to share his number make them senior boys no go enter am.

Thanks Baba. Either fix or buy toks is what I'm considering now ( fixing is quite expensive too., mech said d guy will take 15k. Was told toks steering rack is 40k...

Bro the ones they called toks na those ones they condemned and later re-kit. Don't be deceive. I did mine #8k and mechanic #5k about 4 months ago after them tell me sey toks na #45k. Na one senior mechanic come open my eyes. But if u buy another make sure u carry ur own go cos na extra money for them.

There is another oil filter inside, that can only be accessed by removing the sump. That will only have issues when you have too much sludge or any other issue in the engine that requires you opening up the sump.
Okay. Thanks

That's where sense fail most, not the person in question per say. Lot of people want to start big, some prefer camry or corolla. I know of a friend that like clean cars, big ones. Four years now, he has been in and out of cars, never own one for four years. People should always learn to start small and keep upgrading. Imagine if he has approach a bank for 1million and probably family/friends for 200k to balance a for reasonable car a year ago. He may have pass the stage of not having his own car today.

Sir, wisdom no go kee u. That's why it's good to seek for information/advise most of the time. I followed this thread for almost 2yrs before I finally venture into the hustle and I thank God I did.

The question should be did he drop any part payment, 1.5m with taking care of the car means he will be making 25k everyday. Oops! Probably borrow to complete payment sometimes.

That's another thing ó. Maybe he's not using the said vehicle for this uberBolt hustle. It maybe interstate or international hustle grin

8 months and he’s already remitted 1.5 mills? Ahh he’s a superstar. That means on average, he remits 187,500 monthly. The partner is really greedy. Tell him to look at the contract well, there may be something he’s missing.

1.5 million would haunt him if he decides to let go. If he’s able to secure a loan then he should do that though getting a loan for a car with hopes of repayment from bolt/uber is not ideal.

Let’s endeavor to do due diligence when conducting business.
If he gets a loan of #2.5 ,why should he give it to that slavemaster? For a Naija used car? He should use the loan to get a Tokunbo Honda civid which will server him better and more profitable for him

Bros trust me he can't complete this, unless maybe as he is seeking for loan to pay off.
Apart from that it's a suicide mission, he can only beg for the terms to be reviewed or simply let go something better will surely come.

That's it bro. Deal like this always end in tears
