FanOfMyself:
I personally prefer Ford, Chevrolet, et al to all these Toyota, Honda, Lexus wey full everywhere. But I have a question, how much is the cost of maintenance of ford compared to brands like toyota and lexus? Also how available are the mechanics with enough experience to take care of it.
The cost of maintenance for any car depends on the defective part. On this platform and particularly on the car maintenance thread, I've seen a part for all these Toyota Corolla quoted between 70-75k. I've forgotten the exact part. So it's usually not about the car but the defective part.

I drive a Ford Focus 2009 and it's going 2 years now. Got it from the guy here. So far, I can say that its maintenence has not been that tough. The most important thing is servicing within two or two months plus. The engine sound still seems like when I got it even though I've had a serious accident with it.

Ford makes their cars in such a way that when the car is very sick it literarily cries. For example, after the accident, I was still driving it that evening but by morning, water hard dried because the radiator was affected and I never knew. The engine light was blinking on the screen yet I was just naive about what it meant. And then the car started vibrating - the steering and even the sit, in fact, everything was vibrating and I was forced to stop. Someone had to check for me and then told me I was very lucky that the car didn't develop overheat even when all the water had leaked out. I was shocked.

I thought the car would start jumping from one form of issue to the next after the accident but it never did. Even a bad sound that I've been hearing from the engine (I posted the video here) suddenly stopped without repairs.

From my experience, I'd say Ford is cool. Things don't just spoil unnecessarily so you start spending money you never budgeted.

However, like every other car coming from CA, once you get it, screen and deal with rust issues. They'd most likely be there, especially cars below 2011 or 2012. And that's not a major work because it doesn't affect the engine and once you attend to it very well, that's the end.

Succinctly put, maintenence for me has been normal like every other car. And many times, if you don't find the main Ford part, you'll find something that matches it. I've changed only a few parts though - tyroid, engine mount and engine rubber cover thread to stop oil leakage.

On the issue of a mechanic attending to you, I'd say you shouldn't worry yourself much about that. Even mechanics for other car brands are quacks. Most of them are quacks. So what are we talking about?

My advice: if your car develops a problem, try to first of all understand the issue before going to the mechanic. Ask questions online (thank God for a man like Gazzuzz) and also watch YouTube videos about the problem. Make sure you also scan the car then take your error codes to engine-codes.com. Once you've done all these, any repair with your local mechanic would be a walk over whether the person is a Ford, Toyota, or Mazda mechanic. Don't depend on any mechanic to manually diagnose a problem or unilaterally take a decision on what the actual problem may be. Hear me: majority of them in Nigeria are professional quacks.

I don't know if I've addressed all your concerns.

Please I just got a pilot 09, when the car is cold, the transmission dip stick does not show any level, but when hot or gear engaged, the dip stick has oil on it beyond the hot line.

Pls is this normal? If no, what kind of oil can I get for pilot 09 transmission? Do I top up? Or drain and refill new oil?
I'm not a mechanic o but something tells me you are looking for trouble where there's none.

Please what do you guys think about thermostats in Nigeria. Is it okay to run your vehicle without it or does it have any adverse effects on the engine?

Am wondering since it is a device that can fail, what if it's better to remove it so you have no overheat in case it fails
Except it fails else don't remove it. BTW, I drive w/o it and there's no big deal.

You have been so abused by toxic women you now feel its normal. Of course a woman expressing herself is different from what the OP is claiming.

There are a million decent women with self worth out there, the problem is most of you are damaged and naturally seek damaged women also. Like attracts like.

Thanks for your reply. The issue is this simple, you have the privilege of knowing who your girlfriend or fiancee is now. If you cannot put up with her manipulations anymore, call a meeting between two of you, could be outside of your house and discuss things with her. Let her know how you feel about her, the murmurings, the tears, the need for cuddling and all that. Tell her the kind of woman you want. For example, you made an important point, after working and coming home to rest, you expect to meet your significant other making the home bearable and a delight to you and not one that you have to start petting when you need to rest yourself. Let her know the vision you have for your family and that there is no room for someone that behaves like her. This communication is important so that both of you can save yourselves the time and look for more compatible partners. This world is not difficult. But keeping her and giving her the impression you will go ahead to marry her and then at the same time suffering in silence won't do any of you any good. That is how I would have reacted. Why should a young woman be murmuring? Did she live with old people? Those are issues to correct in time, and if they can't be corrected, you should know what to do because you seem to me to be an Alpha male.

Wishing you both the best in life.
Thanks for your words. I've talked to her that I hate what she did and she was like, "someone must say I'm sorry and she's sorry." It's just tiring for me. However, I made it very clear to her that the day I'd experience such attitude and disobedience would mark the end of our relationship - in or before marriage.

Demigod22:
I totally understand your frustration but never go physical on her. Whenever she is crying and talking, just pet her and when she is strong, try and explain to her about how that behavior affects your psyche.
I find it hard to believe that some women are configured to act in a certain disgusting way like she did while some act sanely. I find it difficult to believe some women have a right to act crazily emotionally. And I have a reason I chose not to pet or calm her to stop her display of folly.

When a child misbehaves and you try to correct or discipline him, the child then starts crying and won't stop. He looks up and expect you to call him back to pet. You know the psychology? That moment, the child feels you were the problem and that's why you came back to pet him to stop. Next, he's going to misbehave again, knowing fully well that you'd call him back and pet him again to stop. And the nonsense continue. The child would never realize that he was the problem and he ought to keep quiet, apologize for his wrongs and behave well henceforth. In the future, the child grows to become a problem to others. He becomes an adult that can't control his emotions because there's no one to pet him now. He becomes a bully. He becomes a grown up baby. Who caused all of these, YOU!

Do you know that this girl with me can end up giving birth to these nature of children? I think it's possible and I don't want that. I want to have children who are mentally and emotionally balanced. I want children that can reason and make sound decision, not influenced by negative energies.

I've pet her in the past and I won't do it again. I knew that's what she wanted but she's not a child. It's a shame to see an adult behave this way and you guys are here encouraging me to have petted her. Pet her for what exactly? Because she can't control her emotions?

I've actually challenged her to repeat a similar nonsense again. Na police go settle us.

Taliban has taken total control of the country. This would have happened during GeJ, Boko haram jihadists would have taken over the Government because the North was totally in support of it.
You are talking trash. So because the North supports BH, it'll automatically make BH a struggle a success. Even with their support, why didn't they not succeed? Why aren't they succeeding now since the North support them and they even have their own in power? You see, that BH nonsense will always end in the North. Nigeria is not Afghanistan.

Even as a girlfriend there is no woman that doesn't nag. Every woman on Earth nags, it's even worse when she is married.

@Op make her understand categorically that you despise someone trying to manipulate you by crying and talking at the same time.. tell her you will need a break from the relationship... (Just to strike sense in her brain)
But don't dump her... Every woman nags
Hmmmm! I'm just tired.

Macho Man,
Why in God's earth would you lay your hands on her?? That wasn't necessary, one bit..
I mean, who gave you that right??
You have to apologise to her,. And ask her for forgiveness,.
She's crying cause she's hurt and
she really needs you to listen to her,.
she wants you to be a better man.. not taking her for granted!! Work on your relationship boy,. before you destroy it!!
I can apologize and she'll most likely accept it but next time she's angry, she'll recall everything. So what was the point? What's the point of apologizing to someone that doesn't forget wrongs? And she'll rub it on my face again and again.

She got it wrong and still expects I listen to her? I can't do that. I can't apologize to someone who should rather apologize to me because she's crying and expect me to listen and pet her. Is that fair?

Marriage no be a walk in the park. If you feel you can't cope, when she sobers, call her attention and have a long talk with her about your relationship with her. It could be that you've not been listening to her feelings. When there's no communication in a relationship, anytime there's a crisis, the weaker party, which mostly is women will pour their hearts out. You have to train yourself to listen to their words. If she is manipulative and it is something she does, it is bad but if she suddenly opens up and it is one of the rare times she does, omo, you need to sit up and listen if you value that relationship.

And why would you slap a woman? You never marry you dey slap her? Omo, you go slap tire o. Never raise your hands against your significant other. I learn patience through my woman. Before I got married, if I see say you be drama queen, I go just withdraw but if a woman is good to you but because you don't listen or create room for communication in the relationship she voices her concerns through her tears, if you love her listen to her. Tears, emotions are not bad o. If you meet those ones wey their mind be like stone, you will thank God say your own they cry o.

The tears of a woman are priceless. They remind you of our common humanity, vulnerability and emotional commitment. They could be used for manipulation, too, but if they are not, they are priceless.
Thanks so much. It's not easy for someone to take out so much time to write like this to advise. Thanks again. I'm suspecting she's trying to be manipulative. She did it the first time and I held her to sleep. Another time, I noticed she was murmuring and she does that often. This time she waited for me to be done with my work and the moment I wanted to sleep she started her wahala. I just got mad because I felt like sleeping.

I understand she loves me but this attitude of hers would end up pushing me away from her. Maybe petting is good but it's not something I like. It's not something I want to run in my family. I want to raise children who are emotionally strong and not a type that even at adulthood would be crying uncontrollably as if he or she is a baby and looking up to someone for petting.

That's nonsense to me. Those kind of people are easily used because they don't have their mind or believe in themselves. This has been my fears with petting her. And in her tears, she told me I never used to ignore or touch her when she behaved that way and I knew within me she was driving to something and I won't do it.

In your marriage perhaps. In healthy marriages, it's not.

At OP, life is too short to be with damaged or unhappy people. Most people are in toxic relationships, they see the signs yet choose to ignore it and end up being miserable in marriage.
Anyone that can't give you peace and happiness should not be in your space not to talk of being emotionally entangled with them.
Since you're complaining, she isn't for you. She will find a man who would t mind her type of drama, there is somebody for everybody.
Thanks for this piece. Because I know very well it's not something I can manage. I'm not a kind of person that pets people, especially adult. And I don't like people that talks too much. She makes me feel like I've been so unfair to her. How can someone be reminding me of my wrongs? How about the ones she's done to me? If this is how God used to do, many would simply commit suicide. It's draining for me.

I regret touching her but she was driving me crazy. I felt so angry. How can someone be reminding me of all the wrongs I've done to her and crying at the same time? I felt like sleeping but she won't let me sleep. I used earpiece to block my ears and she was talking about it. And then the headphone's battery got death. I begged her to keep quiet let the case just die but she won't. Is she a baby? How can someone not be able to control herself?

viyon02:
Very simple question, in the Bible, Satan show Jesus riches of the world and he said worship me and I will give to you all this riches of this world. But Jesus rejected the offer.
Note. The meaning and implications of Satan action is that riches and wealth belong to him and anybody that will have it will have to worship him: and Jesus did not deny the fact that Satan doesn't own it. So for anyone to be wealthy he or she needs to worship the devil, politicians, high ranking business men belong to one group or the other.
However, God still give to his children but not more than necessary. Untill new world or paradise when God will have full control of this system money and fame belong to the devil.
Your reasoning is skewed. God owns everything and if you can make good use of the little He's given you, then you stand a chance to have more. God created us to be a channel of blessing to the people of the world.

Satan is not in charge of anything but he's in God's plan nonetheless. When we present ourselves to God, He uses us mightily and prospers us according to how we use the resources He's given to us already. That's why the more you help people the more you're bound to have more resources for the work.

However, Satan can still bless with wealth without allowing you enjoy the peace that should come with it but God can bless you far more than Satan and with peace to enjoy it. But you have to know what to do with the wealth if you want God to multiply it.
