hello house,

my Honda DC gear stick flickers on the dashboard when i try changing gears, the transmission is perfect, gears change normally when in motion but when i try putting the gear in park, it doesnt enter park until i tap the gear stick several times. When i put into drive, it enters into drive but the 'D' light wouldn't turn on until i tap the stick. i think it has to do with something under the gear stick. Honda experts, pls what do i need to do?

I explained to my mech that my brake gets very hot and he said its the caliper, yesterday he fixed it and the lights disappeared except for vsc and trac off. This morning, the lights came back on. Also he removed my radiator to fix a leak and removed battery to clean the terminal, now check engine light is on. Although the check engine light wasn't on previously. What could be the cause please?

The problem is you without deep automotive knowledge now taking your vehicle to the roadside mechanic that has knowledge from the 1980s.

For the check light you have to scan, something is definitely damaged.

For the radiator, go and buy a new one.

I bought a tokubo Toyota Camry 2003 about 4 months ago, but I notice that the fuel consumptions seems to be on the high side.
I use about 13liters over 60km drive daily. Mixed of city and highway driving.
Attach is the history of my fuel usage. Found this application online and use it to monitor my fuel usage.
Please is this normal.
The consumption is measured in Kilometer/ litre.
From what I checked online (28mpg- 35mpg) the consumption shouldnt be DAT high.
Please what could b the problem

Something is wrong with your car. Get it scanned don’t let Mechanics guess or throw parts without knowing what’s the problem. You’re supposed to be using between 6-7 liters for that journey.
