They keep concentrating important infrastructures in a particular area. The maternal and child health institute should have been built somewhere else to enable development in other parts of Lagos

Most sensible post.. Most of these infrastructure should be spread around areas that are still developing like badagry, ayobo, etc to serve as growth pole for those areas. Ikeja is already a well developed area.. Why build more infrastructure in it and leaving other places lacking?

my brother 70k on ball joint that will serve .about a year isn't a wise spend. The installed pair are still in shape. The incidence was due to the careless mechanic who eventually accepted responsibility.

Honda is a good ride but this hardly occurs in Toyota brands.

It's serves more than a year.. Though it's not a wise purchase but please next change try and stick with toks ball joint.. All those China ones no dey good at all.. I had a friend who bought one China new.. After installation as he was driving out of the workshop ball joint pulled..

Only a few part dealers stock good new ball joints.. I used a new ball joint once.. Used it for over 6 months self before I changed it to toks.. Depends on where one is getting the new joints from.. But since yours is still OK.. Mech should be more careful next timw

It is a Honda accord 2005. The issue was not the ball joint coming off but the supporting pin that keeps the bolt in place. The mechanic didn't hinge it after my last ball joint change.

Ball joints were changed in December with a new pair. so its only 5months ago.

Sorry about your awful experience.. But I would like to confirm was it the OEM new you bought or the China new..

China new are not reliable. You should have just bought a toks ball joint and if you can afford spending up to 70k buy the original Honda OEM ball joint that would last you over a year.

Please restrain from buying china new ball joint. Honda Accord is a great car and you can't deny enjoy owning one. Don't make Toyota people come here now and start mouthing

The only downside to the car is the AC compressor, it gets spoilt around 100k km I don't know whether it can be mitigated but a lot of complaints in that department.

The engine is quite expensive stay away from an abused one and ensure you use the manufacturer specific oil weight from a reputable company on it. Did I also mention overheating which can be avoid by been vigilant.

majority of the engines been ringed was caused by overheating and the car may not remain the same

Thanks for you input sir

See there is the problem.. You likely have a key issue. Maybe the immobilizer..But I advise you do a comprehensive scan of the car. The car brainbox needs reprogramming to recognize the key

Bro the possible fix is that you are having a serious case of electrical issues.. you need all your wiring checked out before jumping to buy another brain box.. Please try n get a Honda specialist to check out your car and do extensive research online...
Autos / Re: Please Gurus Should Help Me With Honda Wahala by zevous: 5:53am On Apr 07, 2019
I don't think it's the brainbox.. There should be a fuse in the fuse box that is bad.. I think the fuse is the ignition fuse.. I used to have similar issues with my 2001 Nissan Altima. All I didn't was pry open the fuse and bridge it together with wire.. Have a competent Rewire check it out for you bro.

Good Morning Bosses,

I have a budget of N1m to buy a car.

Don’t know which I should buy: Corola, Camry, Accord or Civic?

Which would you recommend in terms of reliability, efficiency, fuel management and maintenance?

Thank you.

Buy: Corolla if where you are staying is safe.. Very good car. Very reliable but na thief magnet.. Your 1m MIGHT get you a Nigerian used Corolla

Civic: very good car.. Same level fuel economy with the Corolla.. But na Honda so you have to obey the maintenance.. E no like abuse. 800-1m would get you a perfect working Nigerian used.

Camry.. you can get a used 03-05.. Very rugged and strong but no as fuel economical as the corolla.. Camry dey collect abuse..

Accord: sweet car.. your 1m would get you a clean DC.. it's has more luxury than the big daddy.. Sweet to drive, better stereo, AC na ice but na Honda.. Maintenance is the KEY.. Maintain well and you would never have any issues.

But if you are a 1st time car buyer.. abeg save money buy Corolla..Get a tracker and do comprehensive insurance because the car no go kill your pocket but na thief magnet

Something similar is also happening to my 2001 Honda Accord.. it just loses power after driving for a while and does hard start. Have to leave it for 30-1hr b4 it starts again.. I changed fuel pump and now the lose of power has even become more frequent.. Mech and rewire has checked everything.. Nobody can detect why the car loses power.. Just changed all the 4 plugs.

Please who can help me detect what's wrong and why my car loses power after driving a while!!

I heard the Honda Civic 03-05 is very easy to maintain.. And it's also pretty cheap to purchase as well.. one of the NL gurus use it on his fleet of cars in Uber.. I cant remember his moniker but you can do a search on NL.. there is a group for taxify and Uber where you can learn a lot before going into the business

between the Honda civic 05 and Toyota corolla 04 which is better in terms of fuel economy, durability, maintenance, spare part availability and the likes.Am talking of tokunbo and also price cos I have about 1.7 milli budgeted

You can get a tokunbo 06-08 Civic with 1.7m.. And a tokunbo 03-05 Corolla for that same price..

Both brands part are available but with the increasing demand for Toyota.. the Corolla part would be more available.

I don't know which of both part would be cheaper but I would leave that to the experts to confirm.

Maintenance is likely the same. Follow recommendation from the car Manual.. Use recommended oil and OEM parts and the car would serve you.

Note: Corolla is a thief magnet so please please and please if you are getting the Corolla invest in a tracker and comprehensive insurance

Hello house,
I use a Honda 2005 model.
For two months now my car started surging. I took it to my mechanic and he scanned it and changed something but the surging persist. I went back and he said it was the gearbox. I contacted another mechanic, that one worked on it but no change.i took it to a third mechanic. He said I should change the fuel pump. But still no improvement. Rather, in the process my kickstarter got bad and top gasket. Had to replace both. Met with a fourth mechanic now just last week. He changed the two gear censor N12k each and the fuel pump again, but the surging continues, the following day as I pick My car from him my alternator got bad. Truly I dont know what to do. A new mechanic just change the alternator. But I observed the D for drive on the dashboard is beeping, though surging still persist.

Pls what should I do? Do I change the gearbox? Almost all the mechanic said my gearbox is okay.

I need your advise

Bros try close eye change your gear box and enjoy your new car b4 all these mechanic finish you

Hello luvinghubby,

I am experiencing some problems with my 2008 Honda Accord.

It all started after I took it to a mechanic for routine maintenance having just bought it. When he scanned it, the Rocker arm code came up. He said it wasn't a big deal and that we could fix it later. Since I didn't know what the rocker arm was, I assumed it was a minor problem and we fixed other things (like changing the oil).

The problem is that the car has been giving me problems since then. It loses power at intervals; particularly when I am driving up a hill or rough terrain. I didn't suspect it had anything to do with the scanning at that time. I went back to this same mechanic (by then, I had changed fuel pumps because that was my immediate layman's diagnosis) and he told me I had a bad catalyst. He asked for 15k to 'work it' and I gave him, all to no avail.

I later removed the catalyst, prepared to pay the fuel consumption penalty as long as the car would stop losing power.

Yesterday, I called him and he said the problem was from the rocker arm. I then remembered that he never erased the error code when it came up and that these problems started after he scanned the car and it popped up.

Is there a way out of this that does not involve opening the engine and damaging more components? The nature of my job makes it difficult for me to stay with a mechanic when he is working on my car.

Thanks.

My advice is if you can afford it is to take your car to the following Experts.. Don't let all these Kazeem ruin your car by doing trial and error..

If you are on the island contact : cc- radoautoworks
Mainland contact: cc- Gazzuzz

They charge but your car would be in top notch when you go pick it up.
