I see...Uber people Too many things to worry about. I have even forgotten that 12 hour driving time condition.

Abeg answer my questions about ur car when u have the time. Thanks

Pearl1910:


Welldone jare...na u be the Uber agent
Abeg give us update on this your S40, corolla don too cost and Hyundai/Kia aren't so strong for this business.

Cost of suspension parts links 6k 8k, back 6k a pair.
Ball joint comes with the lower arm assembly (ball joint, lower arm, 2 bushes) Tọks 12K (over a year ago) I'll update you on it cos I'll be needing it soon. Spring 8k( 1 side, bought about a month ago)
Shocks tọks over a year ago, 12k but it kept failing so I bought new for 55. No issues since. Back shocks used to be 7k for both, last month I got 1 side for 12k.
Shafts too, this one don stress me wella cos thy keep failing and I refuse to use the car with that shaft click and vibration, so I kept changing them once I hear or feel it, Tọks 12k. Saving for new ones 130k each, buying and shipping.

Any overheating issues? Overheating, fan fault only, changed the fan a few times, bad module, bad motor and cracked blade. The different reasons for each change. Aha, one of the coolant hoses cracked, leaking coolant, overheating. But I always catch it when the gauge starts to climb so it's never overheated.

How strong is the AC? Used to be fantastic, rarely needed to go beyond level 5 of 18 (for extremely hot day) but Naija hand don enter. Condenser 15k, compressor 40/50k

Any gear issue? None yet. Gear is 80k when I asked

How much is d engine? 250 300 I think, used to be 200ish

All these na pre bulaba o.

Parts and expertise is the problem. The really good mechanics are always busy, you literally have to book days ahead. Most parts, where available, are Tọks and can be hit and miss. And you have to get to Daleko every damn time, this is particularly annoying.

For little things I can order from abroad, I order whenever I have someone coming from there.

But, I love the car as much as I did when I just got it.

Abeg no vex for the plenty questions

adebaba5:
Abeg, who has idea of the current price of a Volvo S40 engine?

Pearl1910:


Na UK go pay abi who go pay?

Whichever is the case, UK connection is there, it's a long trip and trip has started already, so no fret. U have advantage ur engine isn't on. What if you are in traffic, will u not be blasting AC for rider? U no get wahala.

XGhost:


Incidentally, I had to close, approaching Onikan after snapping that picture, I started hearing some funny noises from the leg, out of nowhere. I just drove
home. I de mechanic now, i think it's the linkage.

This morning I came out of the estate 5.30 to beat that Jakande traffic as I see say Northwest de sell, i sharply entered and filled up, 20k.

Decided to do some trips, noise or no noise, before the mechanic gets to the workshop. Na where we de be dat.

Conner44:


Awesome. Please how much fuel did you use for the day?

CheerfulGiver:
You know you're wasting time on Uber. If na indrive, by that time you started, you'd have grossed 60k.

vivalavida:

Did you get this on highway drive or within the city drive?

Conner44:
Omoapena your corolla is consuming too much fuel if it indeed goes only 6kms per Liter. You should go for a live scan and tune up.

I use a vehicle with a 2.4L engine and it does 9kms per Liter.

A normal Corolla with the 1.8L engine should be getting at least 11kms per Liter so far the engine isn’t on its last legs.

Omoapena:


Wow
Uber only?

Conner44:


Any update? How has the day with Uber been so far?

Itsrm:


Yes I am. The day someone who drives a big daddy drove my car, he wanted to set his car on fire.

Itsrm:


This is clear misinformation and I'm glad you've learnt and now know better. The next time you post anything like this, I will be here to correct you.



And that was not about me at all. I don't even drive a Toyota. I think they are useless and boring cars but whatever makes you happy

davit:

Truth is ehaling should be for stop gaps. It is even sweeter if you drive your own car. And this is what I do. When I get better free time from work, I used to do the work like a full time driver.
Since December my approach to the hustle changed. Got a better offer elsewhere. So na to dey do ehaling sparingly. I have been to the Lagoos hospital on the island on several occasions, which will be hard for ehailing guys to afford. Thanks to HMO.
Anything aside side hustle, ehaling doesn't really pay, forget about those saying otherwise. I rest my case. If you like come fight me, I dey my house.

Pearl1910:


Lolz...u used two days on the road abi.

.

U r bringing in other variables which can make this comparison impossible. Maybe u should also ask the speed he was driving while traveling.
The point I have made is crystal clear. Yours is based on theory and ideals. Mine is based on practicals and real experience. Most times real life experience is different from what u are thought in d classroom.

chillex8:

I can imagine the location of the alternator for labor to be that high
The pic was before you replaced alternator ?


That your temp gauge is looking high. Or is it the angle from which the pic was taken?

Pearl1910:


Nice nice
But 9k labour to change alternator
Is it in a difficult position or needs special skills or tools to replace??

Pearl1910:


Lolz...I have been asking that question since Mandela was born but no viable answer.

Abeg XGhost and Felicity how far ur cars...
We wan add to d fleet and Toyota don too cost.

tunlapapa:


It seems this thread is only for bolt drivers.
No one else seems to answer my question to confirm if its general or selected drivers, yet mail was still sent yesterday for this week promotion.
Now no motivation to drive for longer hours this week.

CheerfulGiver:
Teedroid, are you still on my matter, upon say I no send you?

We moved on from matrix.

We on 2013 corolla.

Keep searching.

Josephase:
Lol....I was around here by this time, they get request and joke around it. We're you on short? It seems I saw you snapping them while you sit in your car.

Kaycee54321:


Thanks so much for the candid response.

If I'm getting a civic, I'd probably just put in a droid screen and tune up the interior a bit...

Again, thanks.
