Stop trying methods that'll harm your car and buy transmission fluid, fill up your gear box and try again

Calm down. Its not an oil issue. it is electrical.

the guy who asked you about your brake-light was not pulling your legs. he was serious.

Ur brake-light switch activates a solenoid that locks and unlocks your selector while its at the "P" position. That's the reason you have to step on your brake pedal each time you want to pull out of "P". If that switch goes bad, the lock/unlock solenoid will not work.

So, in a case where your brake-light works, which means the brake-light switch is working, and your selector is still locked in the "P" position, it could then mean one out of two things; either the wire of the solenoid is disconnected or the solenoid itself has gone bad.

your technician needs to know what he's doing to be able to diagnose and properly fix this simple issue or else, he will end up robbing your car of that selector locking (safety) mechanism.

Take care.

Does your fan run continuously or intermittently?
How long did you drive the car before it overheated?

Ok, that means you have an electrical fault somewhere. your technician should start from your fuses. Just calm down, there's no cause for alarm.

Charly, where are you residing? If you're in Lagos, speak to Gazzuzz plead with him to help you connect your fan back to factory specs. When he's done, appreciate him with an appropriate gift.

Your fan is never intended to run continuously.

DECOtech May God Almighty continue to be with you. You have helped the guy solve the prob. All he need it to get a good electrician that understands the car very well. The guy should check fuse that supplies current to the gear.

Take care.
