Good evening Gazzuzz, could you refer me to any body on naira land that sells benz C300 spare parts?

My car has front wheel leg shaking issues, oil in coolant and starter makes grinding sound when you try to start the car. A mechanic around checked it and gave me this list of items to be changed.
1. Stabilizer linkage
2. Ball joint
3. Front hub (2)
4. Tie-rod socket
5. Water pump
6. Black Gum
7. Engine oil
8. Oil filter
9. Kick starter
10. Gear box oil
11. Radiator
12. Radiator coolant

I intend to know if all these are necessary and the cost.

Check operation of the cooling fans, if ok, replace radiator with a brand new unit

The mechanic said the radiator could be the culprit of the oil in coolant since there is no sign of water in the engine oil dipstick. So he has to servic the radiator. I have had my car parked for about two weeks begging mechanic to fix it from home. He keeps posting me here and there. I am at uyo, akwa Ibom state.

I can't drive the car.. The tires seem to make some grinding noise as if it's leaving position. So the major problem is to get the legs working fine. Then I can take it to a workshop. Can you tell me the cost via Whatsapp? The mechanic doesn't even know the cost.

good evening Gazzuzz

My 2004 Honda accord EOD's radiotor cooling fans comes on IMMEDIATELY I start the ignition, and stays permanently ON while I drive the car. the thermostat is obviously removed. this setup doesn't allow my engine to attain optimum operating temperature when I start the car.

please is it advisable to connect a thermostat and rewire the cooling fans?

where in Abuja can I get a competent hand to do this job? I would appreciate a good referral. thanks

Having read the importance on this platform... I did mine recently. Thermostat is between N1k-2k and the workmanship is N2k. With less than 5k you should be ok

I have reconnected my fans to factory settings. I was lucky the thermostat was in and still working perfectly.
