Thanks for this. Planning to work on 2010 Corolla with gear issues. Already getting advice that it can be worked on. Think I will go for replacement.

That gear cannot be rebuilt here in Nigeria so better buy direct Toks and install.

Good evening house.

I want to buy a car battery.

What are the things to look out for?

What brand is advisable?
Solite or Everstart. Make sure it’s original of either of them. If you can’t afford them, try to get a Korean battery of other brands

It's "Mr whatever you are known to be" or you can simply say "Mr whatever you are known as".
Anyways, you can contact gazzuzz if o2 spacer will work for your car, it's an alternative to catalyst replacement.


“Anyway” not “Anyways” also. Anyways with the S is considered slang, and is a part of nonstandard, colloquial English.

Now piss off !!!

I think a new brand that fakers aren't aware that it's there is better. Once they know and can lay hands on the used ones, they start producing fakes.

Very poor diagnosis, IMO. Those guys are after your money, simple.

The pump is just one component out of many in a power steering system. Have others been verified okay?
And if it's actually the pump that's faulty again, you need to first find out what's always damaging the pumps.
If you don't, the new pump will go kaput also. Those guys know this and that's why they are giving no guarantee.

My advice, keep your car away from them or else they will destroy it completely.
Go find a decent workshop. Avoid "kazeems".
I made similar mistake last year and I am paying for it dearly because they couldn't detect the factor in order to undo the act.

What coolant is recommended or can I use for a Toyota Camry 2007?

Any specific brand I should lookout for?

The coolant I met in the car upon purchase is green in color.

I noticed no more coolant in the reservior and the level of coolant in the radiator is dropping and water has been poured into it.

You are better off finding out why the coolant is drying.

You probably have a leak in your cooling system.

Your coolant is not supposed to drop as it's a closed system.

Then you have a leak.
Find the leak, fix, drain and refill with toyota long life coolant (pink).
If e too cost, you can buy Total coolant (green).

order for me nau. I’ll pay you when it lands and pick up. Something we can arrange?

What's your location?

I think it's easier to order for yourself. Just register an account on AliExpress and order with your debit card, it will be delivered to you by Speedaf or you'll get an sms to come pick it up at the nearest Nipost to you

Definition?

Engine has several sensors attached to it. Some monitor temp, some monitor the number of rotations per sec on rotating parts, some monitor throttle angle position, some monitor detonation some monitor exhaust gasses etc..

99per of the time, the solution to our cat problems is in changing from that stone age mechanic to a more modern one.

This Honda CR-V manifold surface got uneven causing air to leak out regardless of the number of packing used.

Can filing the surface solve this please?

Good day everyone. My vehicle (Peugeot 406) have some AC issues. When the AC is on, only the air vents on the passenger side will be chilling while the 2 air vents on the driver's side are not.
What could be the problem and how can it be resolved? I have visited several AC technicians and they seem clueless about the issue.
Pls help a brother.
