Good evening everyone. Pls I want to buy this car Lexus es 300 tomorrow morning, it direct belgium car but the engine is very bad, I was told to buy it for 1m and change the full engine at the rate of 350k, I am in Abuja..

Your advise is needed please, thanks

okoroemeka:
that is the key they have a fully computerized paint mixing chamber that will give any colour shade as long as the paint code sticker is still on the door,China paint is guess work,if you punch in the paint code on the door for example nh-658p for Honda/Acura is graphite black Pearl,the server of PPG in Europe will instruct the computer on the different percentage of base paint colour like black,white,yellow,red,green,blue,etc,you will input to get the graphite black Pearl, without precise measurements of base colours, percentage to input,mixing information,etc,you can't get a match if you buy China paint to do touch up,it will be different.

okoroemeka:
no,call the panel beater his contact is on this thread,he will direct you, opposite police detective school,you will definitely smell the ofe onugbu wafting out from ejimas restaurant.

greggng:


Sickens 've every code already in their store. The moment you present the code to them , they will go bring it from the store. They don't do mixing like all this small outlets . I could remenber when someone hits my bonnet so I decided to patronise all this road side paint sellers. I was with them when the mixed the paint yet they gave me something that faded after two weeks..,sickens remains the best my brother

okoroemeka:
don't mind the panel beater,he bought China paint for you,except silkens in coal camp,it is only ppg in agbani road, opposite police detective college that sells original European paint they have a coputerised paint mixing room,just ask of chidi,there paint is costly but worth it,I painted my Honda two months ago and the whole painting materials cost #76k,the office is beside mama ejima restaurant,don't forget to try the ofe onugbu or oha there.

greggng:
Total of paint and material and other expenses amounted to 55k. Meanwhile receipt of material bought excluding other expenses i.e. transportation and feeding is attached

alphaNomega:
nope, if it isn't right within 2 hours, it can't be right in the next 100 years.

If you doubt me, observe your car colour

Gurus in the house, i hail
Please I discover my gear hangs for like 3 seconds while changing gears but only does this when selecting gear 3. Others selects smoothly

I mean, while accelerating, it hangs and releases forcefully with "paa" sound. I have actually scanned but gets only p0031 as fault code. A friend recommends i go for a higher more professional scanning tool.

I have got trac, vsc, abs and check engine light on my dashboard

Could it be a sensor issue or nah gear wahala

JONNYSPUTE:
It all depends on the quality of paint used in repainting and how honest the painter is. I have a friend that repainted his 07 corolla here in Enugu last 2 years and it's still glowing. Asked him what's up,and told he me he bought a high quality paint and that even the painter confided in him that if not for their relationship,he would have resold the paint and buy a less quality one and make more profit. So most of these painters know exactly the quality of materials to use but greed will never allow them.

He's right with time but don't just waste your money

Peppermintflav:

Auto ease. They are popular. But there's a guy that does painting for me his name is Obosi. Workshop is at new artisan.

Peppermintflav:

Yeah that's how it's done

Peppermintflav:
I think they normally loose the fuel tank cover and take it to camp. There they will mix the colour to spec.

Beckysexy:
Really?
You this man don come again
Is it bad if you spend on both your parents and your girlfriend?

incogni2o:
Hi All,

Please what's the issue with RX350

I see a lot of people selling it Naija used.

Is it fuel, maintainance, or spares?

Lexusgs430:



Get a parrot kit......

kingreign:


Congratulations on your Lexus.

Just ensure you do your regular routine maintenance. Use only genuine oils and fluids. Ensure you don't have any warning lights on the dash or strange noises.

Happy motoring.

sammily:


Most model vehicles comes with OBD input to connect to the car's ECU. You will first need to buy an OBD 2 Bluetooth device as shown below. Then download the OBD Torque App from Playstore and connect the devise to your phone using its Bluetooth. Once connected, your can scan for fault codes, clear faults, view your car's engine data etc.

Iamdj:

Nairalnaders, Please this is the scan result of my Ford. What is the implications and like cost of fixing.

GAZZUZZ:


Buy mobil1 5w30 .


You can get from 08033910382

GAZZUZZ:




You are loosing oil pressure.

Most likely place is from the bearings.

Measure the crankshaft again, cut to next size and replace all bearings if not within spec.


Good evening, I just got 2003 Lexus ES 300. Please what’s the correct oil I should use on my V6 , 6 cylinder engine. ?
Thanks in anticipation

greggng:


Bros stop comparing corolla with es300....es 300 is v6 car while corolla is 4plug. Fuel consumption depends on the distance it covers and availability of functional caterlyst...it is an established truth that v6 consumed less fuel on a long journey but more within the state...short distances. 4 plug consume less within the state ...short distances but more on a long distance...both have their advantage and disadvantage...but v6 engine is stronger and more rugged than 4plugs....

3M Naira to Lagos port of entry

Explorers:
*. Tanker El Hiblu 1 was bound for Libya from Turkey when it diverted from its route to rescue the migrants

*. The castaways seized control of the ship and turned it back towards Europe, heading towards Malta

*. Maltese special forces raided the ship before it was escorted by military boats into the Grand Port at Valletta

*. Four migrants were taken away in handcuffs by police while the others were driven away in waiting vans





Maltese special forces have seized a tanker that was hijacked by migrants 'in an act of piracy' in the Mediterranean after the captain stopped to rescue them.

Armed forces handed control of the vessel back to the captain who sailed it towards Malta's Grand Port, in the capital Valletta, along with the migrants and crew.

When the boat arrived this morning, the migrants were escorted off under armed guard before being handed over to waiting police officers.

Several police vans and a bus were waiting in the harbour for the migrants, four of whom were taken away in handcuffs. The captain and his crew were also seen being escorted off the ship.


Police officers were waiting in the harbour to handcuff the migrants and lead them away as soon as the boat reached dry land.
