Possibly a bad or weak alternator.
Take readings with a multimeter on DC volts from the battery terminals with your AC on full blast, lights on high beam, radio on, wiper on, and all electrical loads in your car powered on. If you get a 12.7v or below reading, your alternator is likely on it's way out or dead already. Ask someone to help keep a steady rev at 2,000 RPM with all accessories powered up and see if the reading improves to above 13V. If it doesn't, do not throw the alternator out yet. Take same reading from the alternator post and compare with what you got at the battery terminals. If it's same, then you have a charging issue. If it's higher from the alternator post, then you have issues with your transmission line from alternator to battery.

Replace the selector. You can easily get then from part sellers or dismantlers aka butchers aka mgbuka.

Please I notice anytime I switch on my ac, my car tends to vibrate when not in motion and kinda drags when I'm about to move. If I want to slow down, it does as if it wants to go off. It actually went off when the rpm was low. What could be the cause.

And I also notice in the morning my car ac works but later brings in air from the vent and would not be cold. But in the afternoon, it gets cold very well. Please I need solutions to this two things. Thank you

You have one or more control arm bushings, shock absorbers worn out or damaged. Have a competent technician carefully check and reveal the cause.

You dey risk your 650k for toks engine.

Possible reasons?

1. Sludge on the oil screen/oil pump filter
2. Faulty oil pump

Have you scanned the car?

Don't bother driving the car until you change the oil pump or clean the oil pump screen

1. Replace catalyst or get spacer that will work for your car.
2. Good luck searching for leaks.
3, 4, 5, 7. Test and replace sensor if bad
6. Replace thermostat.

I bought a brand new radiator for my Lexus RX330.
I told the mechanic that I need to buy coolant. He said I should use ONLY water for some time (like 3 months) before using coolant.
Please I need opinions on this because I don't know if a new radiator require only water first before using coolant.
