Brabus Nigeria gave us the GLE & C450 to drive to the Xmas Autofest. We ended up drag racing them on Akin Adesola, Victoria Island, Lagos.

Need your advice.. Most car sites like OLX or Jiji I visit very often I discovered that Honda Civic 2007/08 model is a very nice with a good dash board but seems the price tag for the Nigerian used is very low (was expecting a higher price tag ). Want to ask is the car a good and sound one? Is it rugged too like the Toyota brands

Re: Car Talk Chat Room by ndego1993: 9:46pm On Dec 27, 2017
Please I need help. I drive Toyota Camry 1999 model. Sometime last week, the car engine just went off while it was in motion. I tried to apply brake only to notice that it was stiff. All the indicator lights were showing on the dash board at the same time. I managed to clear and pushed the gear to park. I started the car after turning off the ignition and it came on as if nothing happened.

The same thing happened yesterday and its giving me a cause to worry as it happened on the high way yesterday and I was only lucky it didn't cause an accident. Please I need help/advice on the cause and what I can do to forestall any further occurrence.

Please experts in the house I need help.

Next time car goes off in motion do not panic, put gear in neutral, start car, return to drive. Car doesn't have to stop.
Get your fuel pump checked, could be a clogged filter or its due for replacement.
