Search for kingreign or mikereign on Nairaland. He is in Abuja.
Your car must have a code(s) with the check engine light on.

Contact mike. He will sort you out.

Since January 2?

Better to run from that guy. Or get a new gear box. 13pin is very sensitive to repairs here in Nigeria

Be calming down sir. There are people who can repair it. Depending on the severity of damage though.
Replacement parts may be hindering the job or OP could be hindering the job too. Na person couple the transmission. It means another can uncouple, repair and couple back.

This happened on my way back from Kaduna to Abuja this January. Being quite wary of the insecurity on the road I made to leave around 10am and planned to spend the minimum time on the road.

Consequently, I had to engage in some mild commando style driving so I averaged a speed of about 140km/h. I didn't stay long behind any vehicle and always aimed to have a clear road ahead. Thankfully we were just 2 in the car and there wasn't much load in the trunk so the vehicle picked up nicely.

The drama happened shortly after Jere, road wasn't too good but not bad either. Mr Mercedes must have linked up from Jere and was headed towards Abuja as well coasting at about 110km/h using eye judgement. Based on comparative speed, I soon caught up behind them, honked for an opening as two cars were beside each other and made to leave them behind as I passed.

From my observation, the car was packed with about 5 men, windows all wound up with AC. Car definitely looked new as well. From Mr C-class behavior, I judged he wasn't too happy as I attempted to reeze past him. He tended to pick up speed once I found an opening but a pothole in front forced him to slow down. Fortunately my left side of the road was clear with a much smaller ditch which I cleared with ease (thanks to wide tyres) as made up the hill as it was kind of a valley section. Mr C-class as I'll like to refer to him from now on, made to catch up with me thereafter but I guess the load he was carrying and the fact that we were going uphill gave me an advantage. I noticed he was trying to catch up so I turned off Eco mode, switched off the AC and stomped the vehicle to about 160km/h leaving him behind fast.

Just a few kilometers ahead, the road became smooth and straight and I surged forward, overtaking other vehicles and gaining a good lead. By now, I didn't see Mr Benz again...or did I? Yes I did! Although he was merely a small dot, I noticed there was something different, he had started gaining momentum. Evidently he had joined the good patch of road.

This reminded me of an experience in 2017. I was driving a Toyota Hilux as well but the 2007 year. A stubborn white w202 started gaining on me from the rear on a smooth tarred road and no matter how hard I tried (I do a lot of spirited driving), this guy gradually reined himself in, caught up with me, overtook and gave me a wide gap till he was invisible. Seems I'm having a deja vu.

Well, I stormed up to about 170km/h but for where, Mr Mercedes had cleared all the cars between us and was right on my tail. He caught up and passed! I gaped at my speedometer as he overtook and saw that I was topping 180km/h but at the speed with which he overtook, this guy was nothing less than 210 -220km/h. He had cracked open his windows a bit, definitely AC is now off and his tailpipe was squirting water vapour like crazy. I was stumped man. Dude didn't stop until he had at least 10 cars between us. I jejely came back to 140km/h and carried my L with pride.

Truly, German cars deserve the respect.

Modified: I was driving a 2020 Toyota Hilux

A Hilux versus a sedan and your verdict was "respect ze Germans"!.

Chai. This life sha. It is well. Make I no talk wetin dey my mind.

To each his own.

At WOT, ac is cut off in newer cars that the ac systems have not been butchered. You do not need to turn it off manually. The ECU does that on its own.

xperiencelove:
OP, if the car still refused to start after fixing the gasket, I will give you one car electrician contact in Ibadan that will fix it for you successfully. Though I hope they won't damage your engine.

Thumbs up on this. It's sad what has happened to the car.

Thanks for your prompt response. However, this model as shown in the picture below as I read uses normal automatic transmission rather than CVT.

How about availability and cost of parts?

Parts dey. Body parts are expensive (general Honda thing). Replacement parts for mechanical items are not too expensive. Within the same price range of other cars.

Search for Timifakay. He is in ibadan.
