Hi all. My airbag warning light stays on after starting the car. What could be wrong? I noticed about a week ago.

Hi guys, please I really need your advice. I have the option of buying a Nigerian used lexus rx330 2005 or hyundai sonata 2013 from USA. Please which do you think is more reliable and durable?? I really don't want a car that will give me headache in near future. Also fuel efficient is considered. Thanks

Go for the sonata since it's toks, that is less risky unless you are sure of the history of the naija rx

I think your engine seat is the problem here but let hear from the guru cos am not sure.

Pls do you have the idea of how much the gear alone cost? Thanks

Like Adaba0803 has rightly said, you might be having a bad engine seat. It might also be a bad transmission seat as well.
To confirm if its bad engine/transmission seat, have your car engine running while in a stationary or parking position with the engine bay open. Get someone to depress the brakes and move the gear lever from Parking through the "Reverse" and "drive" position, you should see exceeding physical movement of the engine.

Good Morning OP. I drive a 2012 Toyota Camry XLE. The recommended tire size is 215/55R17 which the car has currently. However, I am toying with the idea of getting 225/60R17 tires. What do you think? Will it work without issues or rubbing? Thanks.

Hello Auto gurus,
Pls I need help. My car veers to the left at every/any first move, but when on the highway it goes straight. I have done done wheel alignment and wheel balance and those auto guys think it's okay but I am positive it's not.
I understand sloppy roads could cause it to veer right or left depending. But mine veers left all the time - on straight roads, or so.
What could be the cause??

I'm not a car mechanic nor a car expert but from experience when I had similar issue the Camber rubber or busshin I doubt if I got that spelling right was replaced and that solved the problem.

Hi guys,

My car is 2007 Camry V4 and the recommended oil is 5W-20 and 0w-20 but generally, in Nigeria they said 5w-30 is better due our weather

What’s your advice please

There are places hotter than naija.....but ofcourse if you can't get *w-20 then you can use a good 5w-30 but don't link the reason to weather cheesy

0w40 or 5w40 is suitable because of engine design .

Hello Gazz, The frontside wheel (driver side) is giving a funny vibration anytime I go thru a gallop, I took it to a mech, he said I need to replace the both ball joints but a friend said they can hammer it back in position or weld it instead of replacing it.
Any head way pls?
My car is a Honda Accord 2006 model.
