Good day to all the gentleman/ladies, and to the car gurus and experts. Your comments and advice here have been of immeasurable benefit. Please kindly help with your superior wealth of experience.
I plan to buy a neatly used Ford Focus (2000-2004 model) in two months time. The main reason is I need a 'small' car, easy to maintain, but still with a little comfort/style. I already drive an Akura 3.2TL, but it eats deep in my pocket (fuel-wise). So I need need a smaller car for some runs and even long journeys sometimes. My gurus, do u think the Ford Focus is OK , in terms of fuel consumption, long distance trip, less issues? Thanks as u kindly help a brother.

Bross there are no car converter on NL, we have mechanics thats it.if you are in Nigeria the best place to inquire from is Ladipo market,if you are based abroad your best line of action is to buy all your parts load them in the car and ship down here so that all you pay for is labour.
In other news what you will find here are great resources as to what is need for your conversion.

I heard it's around 8k for a tokunbo. But let him check the relay close to the pump first and confirm it's in working condition. If the relay is bad, the fuel pump will not work. After relay change check the EFI fuse too just incase

good morning all.. please, my Nissan primera stops while driving, let's say after about 2km, when I opened d burnet to check, I observed the radiator gets too.hot, when I allow. it cool. and open d radiator cover, the water doesn't dry, still filled but very hot.

after leaving the car for about an hour, it will.move another few km and stop again. the radiator fan is working.

my mechanic doesn't sound convincing about what the.issue is. I'm. confused myself. don't know if that's overheating or something related.

in the pix, that part tagged 2 is what is faulty, reason for the code

check the wiring leading to it and away from it, it could have been cut probably due to contact with the hot exhaust body, or the plug is faulty or so but confirm first i read that it is suppose to be giving out must not be below 0.8A you can only confirm with voltmeter.

The noticeable issue is high fuel consumption since its work has been cut off the ECU will not received the required info for proper air fuel mixture

vsc is vehicle stability control, the ABS needs to be scanned, the technician will take it from there, it could be as simple as a faulty sensor or complex. Only a scan and knowledgeable technician can help you here

I suggest you replace the gearbox. Fixing gears is a complete gamble.
By the way, I'm in Ibadan.
