Thanks for your response. The vehicle is a 03 Rav 4. (Its not ECU issue as i have confirmed this). The transmission oil was changed less than a year ago with the Toyota ATF IV. I am trying to know if transmission filter or "gear fibre" can cause this issue as suggested by the two mechanics.

your engine ecu has damaged your transmission. You will require a new engine ecu, and a new transmission or a transmission fix.

congrats boss,
yeah it's good to have all fluids replaced, it helps keep you a good a record of maintenance, for you're certain how long those fluids have been in there, you may also check out the brake pads, air filter and spark plugs. wishing you accident-free and problem-free car

shocked be very weary of Naija used German cars. Once the former owner doesn't manage them well before disposal and you unfortunately purchase them, the evil work done in them starts haunting you and your pocket undecided

@Bolded, why not ask him, or go behind his back and inquire from his mechanic or ask a very experienced mechanic to extensively test and inspect the car?

Hi all, can you please help with this issue or give a suggestion, have got fog light on my bumper that is always, its connected to work with the headlights and not stand alone. problem the bulb usually burns out after a long trip or after a while. what is the possibilty of;
1. getting a good DRL in place of this ordinary bulb to work independently with car starting or,
2. getting a good grade bulb to connect to parking light.
bottom line is i just need the lights to last and work alone independent of the headlights. Any good rewire/tech in house that you can recommend.

Cc: Ikenna, Sienna... thanks (car is a camry 2000/01)

Most proper reason, while installing teh Bulb you are not meant to have contact with the bulb glass part, as this creates heat points,which eventually burns out a hole and allows the tungsten to oxidize.
When installing the next one make sure fingers do not come in contact with bulb, only hold the metal part that fuses into the lamp holder,cover teh glass bit with tissue or some comes with a foamy bit round them most of the times.if this doesn't wrk then you have an electrical problem
