This Half-British brand, MG, used to build supercars back in the days and they returned with daily drivers and the price of their flagship is shocking! Imagine owning a car easy-peasy in this Buhari economy and with features you’d find in a Porsche!

Good morning house.
I have a 2012/13 Camry Le (4cyl) that was driving perfect before yesterday.
Yesterday I went to change the inner cup and on driving back home, it started selecting abnormally and this terrible kick when I slow to almost a stop.
Its also not engaging reverse again.
Please What is the problem and any possible solution?
@gazzuzzu and all other specialist or anyone that has experienced this kind of issue please help.
New gearbox for this car no be bean

Contamination of the valve body caused by dirt. You will most likely replace transmission

Good morning Oga Gazzuzz and other car Gurus in the house. I use Nissan Almera 2000. My problem started when the car started shorting engine oil. My mechanic recommended that I should ring the engine.
I told him am skeptical about the idea, but when I ask for the price of new engine it's on a high side so I opted for the ringing which cost me 50k. After the ringing I discovered the car temperature is rising even on short distances. Have not travelled far with the car after the ringing.

Pls I need advice on what could be the issue and solution, plus the engine makes more noise unlike before. Like when i reach my destination and put the gear on park. The engine makes noise like am reving it but am not.

Pls I need your advice. Thanks

High idle speed. Bring it down

Good day, I use a 2003 Toyota Camry 2AZ-FE. Recently, the driver side firewall started vibrating when vehicle is on Drive, no vibration on N or P. I changed fuel pump, my electrician washed the fuel pump assy using thinner. The vibration stopped for some days. CEL is on after driving for some time. No CEL at starup. The last scanning didn't show any error codes.
Thanks in anticipation

Check engine mounts

Good morning House...
My car Headlights Look dull and I want them to appear almost-brand new.

Should I take it to the mechanic village where I can find those specialized in washing it, OR to an Auto Spray painter workshop?

Which of these can I achieve best results?

Coolant sensor possibly cut.
PLUS current overheating will introduce other problem.

Gazzuzz and other auto gurus in the house please see to the challenge I am having, my 2004 Toyota Camry 4 cyl is not reving up, it starts normally, but when you push down the gas pedal it does not "raise". I have changed the 4 plugs, changed the fuel pump and cleaned the throttle body, nothing changed. I scanned the car today and the codes below popped up

Reconnect your throttle body.

Thank you so very much sir, please how do we reconnect, because this is where the problem is, the butterfly in the throttle body is not responding when the ignition is switched on and the gas pedal pressed.

If you have done all that and it's still not working try another engine ecu
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Mongomeyen(m): 9:06pm On Aug 29, 2022
Please pardon me for all my worries, from what I have noticed so far, it seems that the throttle body is not receiving the required power via that source/socket that you circled, I tested it with a diff throttle body still the same issue. Someone said I might need a swap the brain box, but I pray that should not be the case. Abeg help me out here, please.

What issue did you notice before changing the inner cups?

Like Gazzuz mentioned, your transmission may have been contaminated. You should consider a transmission flush at this point.

Problem lies between the sensor in your throttle pedal and your ECU. I advise a Relearn/ reprogramming not replacing of the ECU.
The codes from your Scan has nothing to do with throttle body.

It's a 2004 Camry, not a 2012 nissan. Very basic model, everything resets when you take out the battery.

That's resetting to clear DTC codes you are talking about.
I said reprogram which is about reinstalling the software on the ECU BIOS.
A first step before attempting a replacement of the ECU

I need help with my car (09 Corolla)

Let me give a quick history. I replaced bearing on the two front wheels, speedometer stop working afterwards and fuel gauge started malfunctioning.

My obd 2 scanner shows vehicle speed sensor A as the fault. I replaced the sensor on the transmission body(on the engine) but it didn't fix it.

Another electrician scanned the car for codes and the two speed sensors for the front came up, he tested both sensors including the rear sensors and they're in good condition. He carried out checks on the abs module and its in good condition as well.

We visited his oga, who said problem might be from the bearing we replaced being too thick hence causing the sensors not to the read the wheel movement. He said I should replace the hubs even if it's one and that will fix the speedometer issue. I had replaced the bearing for the driver side again after I was hearing noise from it on high speed but the visit to the electrician but still no show. So my concern is why neither of the two bearings effect the change he mentioned.

I'll appreciate suggestions on more direction to check.

Is this a South African or Canadian/American built model
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by slap1(m): 4:04pm On Aug 31, 2022
Good day, Gazzuzz. I need help. My 04 Corolla (Canadian build) is bad. A mechanic loosened the top and still fixed back the old gasket instead of a new one. This made water mix with the oil and ruins the engine.

Now, I have the option of repairing the engine or replacing it entirely. Which should I do? Repairing it has been cost at 200k. New engine is reportedly around 400 to 450k.

What does the 200k represent? You cannot solve this online. Find my number
