FJ cruiser is a very cool masculine truck. It also has heritage and pedigree. It made to pay homage to Toyota land cruiser's humble beginnings especially the BJ 40 truck.
Now, what pedigree and heritage does that piece of śhytè called the Element abi na atom has? What does it pay tribute to?

Lolz boss kingreign off the mic

kingreign:
She can get an RX330 or ES 330. They're decent and comfortable. Avoid that rav4.

Boss kingreign why did you say they should avoid element? I dey use style eye that car cause it looks like a military vehicle... Kindly enlighten

You call 1.8m distress sales, when none distress goes for 1.7 to 1.8

I saw a mistibishi lancer evolution 2012 with 1.5 engin capacity and I kinda liked it, please what are the major issues with modern Mitsubishis why are they very rare to find on Nigerian roads, in comparison with EOD which should I rather go for

My guess, if a car is scarce on the raod it is likely high maintainace cost issues/ reliability / parts availability and expert technicians are the reasons.

Do more research on the Mitsubishi in your location before going for it, however, the eod is a safe bet.

penzino:
Which is best to go for between

1. Kia Rio 2014
2. Corolla 2004 to 2008
3. Benz C230 2005
4. Honda civic 2007

Considering reliability, economy, maintenance and availability of parts.

Looking to get a great second wife(car)..

Thanks

Corolla or the Civic you should be fine

EVAP system on a 7th Gen honda accord is not that complex



Bros all this things you are saying are stories. You are not helping,I don't know why you assumed the worst case scenario.. If OP had an EVAP leak problem like P0442 P0443 P0455 P0456 P0547 or P0497 with no other Code, i will understand why you need to bring out all the guns with your bidirectional scanner and what not.
When troubleshooting a system i start by eliminating the simpler and basic elements in this case:solenoids, hence why i said he should check connectors(simpler)after that check the solenoids, basically by "clicking" if everything is fine he can then move on to more complex scenario like solenoid not operating fully ie opening or closing completely.




Aside clicking, integrity of the solenoid can also be checked measuring the resistance of the coils
For EVAP canister purge valve: resistance should be about 33 ohms
EVAP Canister vent shut valve: Resistance should be between 25 - 30 ohms




How about if it is Just the 2P conector not connected properly or the solenoid not clicking at all. When troubleshooting you don't just jump to the hardest possible fault.
If Op checks all the basic and no way he can then come to autologic workshop for "advanced vacuum test with bidirectional scanner"

Awesome, currently have this issue, woukd give your simple recommendations a try before going complex

I will pay 600k

Any car for sale?

Leyemoshood:
Hello house, is mileage a big deal when buying used cars from abroad? if so, what's the average mileage one can watch out for?

Thanks

Not a big deal as long as the car is well maintained and wearable parts replaced as due...

Though everyone have a different tolerance level for me I generally prefer anything not more than 150k miles,

800k

HeavenlyBang:
I believe most K series engines share accessories. Other parts should bolt in from the regular Civic apart from brakes, I think.

here is how the engine looks like

Hi guy saw a 2007 Civic si, how reliable, availability of parts, cost of Maintenance

Amdman you don't update this thread

It is well

My brother na true you talk. I went through it too before sense fell on me. Unfortunately, I don already over-spend before the sense fell on me.

dannybrasky:
Madam Rad you dey laugh me

Until one bros for mechanic house called me to a corner and said my brother,Even as a healthy young man if you go visit dr every day for checkup,dr must detect one sickness or the other. Meaning fault no dey finish for motor. I got home that day to do some calculation on how much i have spent in the span of one month on the car,it was then I knew I need help

Me then na Mobil 1 my car first drink... As body still dey shack me every 4 month ... Later I start to dey give am kuli and epa (5w30) drink every 3 month ... Saved 8k as a result..., as in I can come and kill myself.... Call me a redneck

When I want to do my shock absorber bank when body still dey shack me, I waka here an there looking for the best shocks, the billing were ranging from 150k for two front leg to 55k...when my body Kool down na boss nurey inspiration I follow after seeing a post were he used the 15k-20k shocks whixh he had been using for 2 year. Mine been on for a year.




One thing I don't mess with still is transmission oil

First car syndrome

After I spent almost 350k fixing every problem that doesn't affect performance on a 2007 camry se back then. Kazeem's build aso rock ontop my head
Nobody tell me before I reset myself to factory settings.

Melting dashboard,I didn't want leather on top,I had to order for a fresh new one from ladipo N150k.

Small noise from front left suspension,apo kazeem made me change all 4 shocks and linkage and some bushing,the kazeem installed a 2004 camry shocks for my 07 camry se and kept all my follow come shocks which he sold to a customer after.

After shocks where installed,car come get k-leg for all 4 tyres I did wheel balancing tire to solve that issue,yet no solution.

Small engine vibration,all mounts changed because I want car to dey idle like mew lol.

Ac cooling no reach me,I changed compressor

Now I no get time for ebamisofun,if e no affect performance,biko I no get money to waste

Chai how I wish every new car owner will read this

Belexy:
Is there any good reputable auto repair shop around ikotun, igando, egbeda or environs that can do diagnosis and repairs? I dont mean roadside kazeems oh.

Gazzuzz, autologic look for these guys

patomaniac:
Thats true, and a nice one at that, but i dont want to start playing around with things i know nothing about before i make it worse, and it's very urgent i fix the car

Look for radautoworks here, she has a pro shop close to Ajah

patomaniac:
Thanks boss, can i book an appointment with you ? I dont want any how mechanic to come touch it, or can you suggest a good mechanic:? I reside at Ajah

Ajah? Then you are closer to radautoworks,

Personally what I do with car repairs is Google the hell out of the issue, YouTube the hell out of it too... And either take my time to do it myself to my full heart content or get good parts and work with a good kazeem (supervising keenly) to fix, not igboro in airtel advert style oh , our interactions are usually in a conversation style and in the end we both benefit each other some way (not just the money I will be paying for labour oh)


Depending on the scale or urgency of the fix needed, I just love being immersely involve in car problem resolution if possible, it reminds of my university days as a Mathematics undergraduate major, each problem or repairs help u understand the logic of how car works {the math} , the knowledge gained can be a source of joy and takes your mind off other things. I remember my first personal repair, the feeling and smell of oil grease in my hands, the way my heart was pounding as I loose the bolt with my shaky hands (and a voice telling me in the back of my mind say who send you, your eye go soon clear) ... Chai, it is all joy now. Nice memory

Some big shop want allow you be a part of this, you probably sit at the lobby or na go come things. I have save myself and friends lot of repairs money this way

Either ways you are good.

Eldemmi:
You have totally become team Honda, how Toyota for be for your eyes now sir?

A car u pay higher amount for, just so you can enjoy it easy to abuse benefits (20w50 oil, China parts, late oil change etc), an illusion of the best fuel economy and to please your neighbors would belive you made the best car purchase decision, while compromising on other qualities that makes a complete car

Hello boss please help me source a low mileage Honda crv 2003 to 2005 manual transmission. Needee thanks

Kassiny:
Dear Gazzuzz,

I have oil leaking from my valve cover gasket .

2Gr-Fe Camry 2008. Could PCV be the cause of the leaking value gasket. Kindly advise on the way forward pls.

Hi does the oil drips on the floor? I recent noticed an oil leak on my Pontiac vibe 2005, I thought it was the valve cover gasket, but after some research (Google and YouTube) I found out it was a weak oring around my timing chain tensioner a common cause of oil leak for my engine type.

So find out if the oil drips on the floor and if you need to top the oil between oil change {if not and if your car is above 15yesr old, I will say don't sweat)

patomaniac:
Good evening boss,

Please what do you think is the problem ??

Google and YouTube are some great ways to start
