Car Gurus & Experts in the house, is it advisable to convert from Automatic Transmission to Manual Transmission?

The vehicle is a Toyota Sienna 2006 (FWD). It's Nigerian used and It will be used for commercial driving.

Noticed a had a flat battery on my Rx350 some days back, changed the battery but by 2nd day same thing, had to jump start the car drove it the whole day while running errands, just started it on saturday morning to give room for my neighbor to drive out, but this evening the car battery can't start the car. The car had to be jump started, drove it for 10 mins and the successfully restarted the car.
Now I think my alternator is fine, but my electrician thinks something is draining the car battery, I have a tracker installed which I had to remove before the last incidence.
Has anyone experienced this and any solution?

Any other rat solution would be appreciated

Rats like other rodents, mark territories by urinating in the engine bay and their droplets. To get them off, you need to wash the engine, as often as possible.

Other things you can do

1. Drive the car often

2. Always change your parking spots

3. Dont park near your kitchen or have food remnants in your car

4. Keep you parking spot clean

5. Keep a cat

6. Start eating them before they eat your harness.

1 & 2 does the trick most of the time. If this does not work, you need to move to a new area. The war against rats na like fighting terrorism. If you want peace, you muuv

I have tried out all this electronic antirodent you connect to the cars battery. It seems na oyinbo rats e dey pursue.

MY ES300 ON ITS 4TH ALTERNATOR!! PLEASE HELP!!

Hello GAZZUZZ, I recently had to replace my alternator after I confirmed with my 'rewire' guy that the old one which came with the car was faulty as my battery was tested okay (still relatively new, under one year) but alternator was not charging at all.

My issue is that we have had to install exactly three (3) different tokunbo alternators, but as at the 2nd count, all had low charging voltage (ranging from 12.8v to 13.0v with max load -- a/c, full headlights, radio and wipers). This increases to about 13.4v with almost no load.

The current toks alternator (3rd) is slightly better, as the Ladipo supplier had to bring a Sienna VVTi spec alternator which he claims has a higher power rating compared to the previous two we'd installed so far.

However, after installing we checked and only got about 13.1v/13.2v with max load, but I had read somewhere that the ideal charging voltage should be around 13.8v with max load and over 14v without.

So at present the alternator light isn't coming up and it seems to work fine, but with the last testing result I am still not at ease, therefore, I'm not very confident using my a/c continuously because of the fear that the battery light may appear again, indicating an underperforming alternator.

I use the a/c intermittently and anytime I am to shut down the engine I always turn OFF a/c if it was ON, and revv the car a bit @ 2,000 rpm for 10 seconds to give the battery a good charge before turning off car.

Note that, they also checked the earthing (ground) system of the car and for leakages but didn't find any fault.

What possible solution for this problem please?

Car:Toyota matrix 2010.
I noticed my car has been jerking randomly and doesn’t speed well after the check engine light came up I took it to my mechanic he checked the fuel pump,nozzle,plugs and said everything was okay. The car didn’t jerk when he test run it. So he scanned it and said what came up was the Coil. He now wiped it and the check engine light said if it comes up that i should i bring it so he can change the coil. Please can that really be the cause?? The check engine sign is back on my dashboard.

This one na epistle. The person for kukuma go buy brand new car na.

Someone like me that hate dents, I respray my car at the slightest scratch. Last year December, I had to do full body respray. So, you will not advise someone to buy the car because I resprayed it?

My car even after spending two years in Nigeria is still better than most toks due to the maintenance level I've given it.

Let me see if I can help you remotely.

What's the current millage?

Check the custom papers to know the date it first entered 9ja

Check for engine check light if its on (though some electricians usually by-pass it but a good mechanic and those experience can easily tell if truly by-pass)

Check for Oil leakages for both engine and gear box.

Turn on the engine, fire down aggressively and then Check for presence of oil on the exhaust pipe on your finger tip.

You can also try blocking the exhaust pipe with your palm while asking somebody else to fire down for you. A sound engine will only deposits little particles of vapours on your palms without any form of smoke present.

Shaft dislocation is a commons problem with big daddy, so check for cracking noise while making a 90° and 135° turn both left and right.

Pay attention for suspension noise during drive test.

If you're satisfy with the car tell seller you like to do a long drive test on a free road before you buy, this will help you confirm if transmission is in good condition.

Lastly, big daddy is one car I know to have a good AC system. So if the AC doesn't chill under hot Sun and both in traffic just know that the compressor is bad, don't be deceived with the talk of "gas needs topping"

I hope this guild you to properly, otherwise employ the services of one of our own Dmechy or blackbishop here for a professional inspection

Good afternoon Oga GAZZUZZ, i have a Camry 4 cylinder 2004.
When the car is at a stop the AC cools on low, but once taken to level 2 or 3 the ac refuses to cool until it the car is in motion.

Also the engine runs smoothly, but once ac is on the engine feels heavier and drags & the idle is unstable in stop position.
Pls what could be responsible?
