Extremely reliable cars. No parts in the Nigerian market. If you are good at ordering parts online then you have no problems.

@Gazzuzz good morning,
I noticed my brake fluid at the reservoir was low, I topped it and this morning it was below 'MIN'.
I checked for leaks around the engine area and the wheels(the much I can) but no leak.
Can you suggest what I should do.
Thanks

Checked brake pads? Fluid should never be topped unless there's a leak , it's a closed system, when the brake pads are worn, fluid will go down.

Master Gazzuzz, I hail o. Pls my Honda accord 05 4 plug engine sometime rev as high as 2000rpm. Attimes, it fluctuates btw 800 and 2000rpm continuously. However, wat I do presently is to switch off the engine for 1min and switch. The imbalance will stop. Kindly advise of the possible cause and resolution as I know suspect that a part is acting up gradually.
Thanks for ur prompt response
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Bitos: 6:22pm On Dec 20, 2015
Good day chief. I bought my toks Toyota 4runner 2011 SR5 around August and it did about 16mpg (city) on the average then but noticed it dropped to between 12-13mpg (city) in the last one and half month. It's a certified preowned so I decided not to do any servicing when it arrived.

What could have caused the sudden drop and what can be done to improve it?
