Wow, Made my first trip on In drive today.

Was fun. Nice beautiful rider.

Was a bit lost at the beginning, but rider and map helped. I relaxed and simply took over.

Thanks all for the generous tips. I spent 4 days eating up the pages on this thread to prepare me. Thanks again all.

Happy for you. What was your experience using Honda eod. I’m also planning on joining the ridesharing business real soon. Same car. Please share 🙏🏾

Blackbishop:


100%

Welcome, take it one trip at a time. Tell ur Riders u aren't familiar with the road, let them direct you. Then click navigation or Google sign inside the App and be following Google map too so u learn as it works as rider is directing u.
If u obey traffic rules, 80% of your problem is solved.
It's better to start and experience it by urself than someone telling u do or don't do

Had a terrible experience today.
Picked this idiot guy from university road to "Lord Jesus estate around chevron....11200. My first trip this morning, on indrive.
When I got to the gate of his street, the flood was so much(picture attached) his house was just 2 houses away from the beginning of the gate. Pleaded with him that I can't enter cos the flood is kinda deep and my car is low. He insisted I must enter. The guys at the gate told me not to try to enter. They said all the cars parked outside the gate belongs to occupants of the estate. They park outside and use rain boot to enter.
There was a guy giving out rain boots for 1k. This idiot said if he will give the guy the 1k for the boot, then he would deduct it from the 11200. I refused and told him he would give me my complete money.

We dragged it for almost 20 mins. He started calling his people. So I felt threatened. I decided to call the police via the app. Immediately he had me reporting to the police, his friend abi brother that drove out from the estate with a high jeep, started saying; "the person you dey call police for, him papa na oga nla of police.....na you dem go lock for cell"

After much dragging, the guys at the gate started telling him to pay me my complete money and forget.....that he's bigger than this.
He eventually transferred my complete money, after wasting my time for 30 mins +

Funny, but that’s the essence of bolt to them, nah you no go panic. Those days I use car to swim Agungi water, never me. Water getting to my bumper alone is a no no, not to talk of getting to condenser level. The only grace any rider can have in time like this is if we hit heavy downpour while on trip.

On Friday I got a trip from the end of silver bird road to around freedom way for 4500. Hmmm what a sweet trip 😳🤒 rider was sha directing via map because I am around Yemi Adetayo. Telling me locked gates and flooded areas. I got to a street and saw water from the beginning of the street to the end, like 3 cars are driving toward me. So I stopped and ask one comrade how far? He nod his ahead and signal I can make it. I put head, I didn’t get to half of the road, before I engaged reverse. Gently cancel trip and find my way out of the area.

Raining season like this, just avoid phase 2 and Sangotedo. The comrades living around their should sought their riders… but people can rent nonsense in this Lagos🚶🏿‍♂️

Good morning guys.
So yesterday, I went with my mechanic to get this car. We left from Ifo Ogun state to Ikorodu.
He inspected the car and affirmed that the engine hasn't been tampered with and the gear was in good shape, although there were obvious exterior flaws which didn't matter to me and the automated dashboard wasn't working. We paid and took off, getting to Agege, the car broke down due to overheating and while at it, the gasket was burnt, the radiator wasn't good.
Some men helped push it to a mechanic workshop around (the mechanic with me came from Ogun state so apparently there's no way he could fix it without his tools).
The Agege's Kazeem charged 70k to change the gasket, fix these radiator, oil gauge stick because it's burnt and oil (engine oil and gear oil) just an extensive servicing though.

Now my questions are;
Seller is swearing that his car wasn't overheating hitherto.
1) is it my Kazeem's fault that he couldn't spot the overheating till it got that bad?
2) Car is parked at Agege and we are asked to return on Tuesday (I've paid for everything including even to fix the dashboard (37k). Who is to cover these expenses? Especially as the car didn't even follow me to my state let alone home? The seller or me?
3) is 37k not overcharged for a dashboard? (Asking for future's purpose not like I can get the money back.
4) We've scanned the car and it's alright save for the overheating. My confusion is, could the overheating (radiator was leaking water) have started few minutes of us driving from Ikorodu or it has most definitely been an issue before now? Abi my Kazeem is just an overrated idiot.

This is no fun point to be. Buying Naija used is like acquiring liability. The better percent of seller have this relief and here is what I was trying to warn you about. The fact that you left his place with the car, does not mean you won’t have issues. What most do is to pad the car as far as leaving their street and whatever happen next becomes the new owner business. I’ll advice you relate with the seller, if he is willing to be of help and ask the oil he uses to service engine and transmission. Think of any vital information you may need as well and later him for life. The more the car gives you headache, the more you feel like pressing his neck. I hope the car doesn’t give you much stress… but I feel it’s about time you look for a better Kazeem to help you do all assessment. Understand what you’ve entered and how to find your balance. Saves you time, expenses, and headache needlessly.

Seyi Tinubu is that you 🙅🏿‍♂️🙌

Ceenelly:
thanks, when i fix back the adjuster i didn't use the same belt i used another cos the belt i used when no adjuster was smaller. I will keep trying different.
Please if anyone owns a honda civic 2008 can help me with the size of fan belt he or she uses, thanks in advance

belt size is 1960

obinoral1179:
you are talking about Civic and I'm sure it's only the plug you change.... That was what I should have done when my car was submerged in water in one company I went for pickup.... After all and all the mechanic later changed the plug

I drive Corolla 010 not Civic.

Its quite a good car due to its advanced fuel saving technology. That is if the Oxygen sensor is OK and thermostat still function properly.

Here are few things to pay attention to; brake system issues, oil consumption, rattling noise at start up, frequent spark plugs fouling, misfiring issue, ... but good Suspension system not like the early spec of 2002 - 2005 model

If its Toyota, that engine might requires ringing .

I wanted to say this, Honda builds better engine.
Suspension is their problem.

Lol.. it's been One year since I made that post, the road is still very bad. You have to drive really slow, if not, you are on your own.

Bosses in the house, I greet.

Pls, my corolla is shorting oil seriously now and the engine still sound very good. Pls what can I do to make it stop, it's really bothering my mind.

I use total 20w-50 to service it at every 4000km cover, pls, if you have solution to the engine shorting oil, kindly relay it.

check if it's dropping from under, if it is then you have to change to seal in-between the engine and gear

Welz:

It's not leaking anywhere, we have accessed it thoroughly and we can't find any leak, I've even changed the top cylinder robber but oil shortening still persist...

Welz:

Take this advice. It is called crankshaft oil seal. Most times the oil won't drop, it will soak on the body(due to sand or mud).
It took me personally to detect mine when I was using 08' Corolla. My mechanic couldn't see it.
I advice u drive ur car into a fuel station and use their pit. Use torch light and inspect underneath ur car. Oil no dey hide.
Also, check the seal on the engine pulley.

If symptoms persists after this..... Call ladipo for engine buying



Mind u, some Toyota engine get craze for head from factory. Internal wahala....Na to top up

sometimes I see trips on indrive and I wonder who are the drivers taking such trips. nothing on God's green earth will take me to sango Otta even during dry season not to talk of rainy season.

I would have stick to topping up the oil but then, I can't be buying 1 litre of oil every 2 weeks, that expense is too expensive.

How is that expensive? How much is oil?

1 litre every two weeks is very ok for an engine that has paid itself
