@festacGirl.

Its very much likely to clear within 3 days
.
Give BOL to Agents 2 days prior for arival of vessel

Get valuation done and duty paid that same day
The second day is for releasing with customs,
Payment of shipping and terminal charges...
Releasing from shipping company to get TDO
Third day . exit of the vehicle out of the terminal .

What makes these realiasable rest solely on the agent and importer... Telex release is provided by the importer on time ., and the agent gets to the port on real time basid which boost quality of time to service.

All these stem from the fact that having the best attitude to handle any job given .

Though no one is perfect . Promises may get friends but it's performance that keeps and binds them together.
No struggle , no success. no aim , no achievement.
Is 1.5 the total cost?
What do you mean off dock terminal?
Vehicle is already at the port.
Kindly drop your number to contact you,

GAZZUZZ:


front suspension for that vehicle.

Diagnosis first.

Upper strut mount
Lower control arms
Swaybar link/ bushings
Engine mounts
Ball joints struts
Steering rack
Tie/rod ends.

Any of these could cause suspension noises. You need a good listening ear/feel/strip suspension parts before you can find the culprit/culprits
alright sir.
my mech will check it in the morning.
How much is the shocks.

I don't know of the AC system, but the brake Master and servo isn't traditional pneumatic or hydraulic type. it's electronic sensor type. if it fails, you'd have to replace the servo unit and the anti skid control module. It doesn't go as high as 500k biko.
Thank you sir.

kindly educate us on the kind of brake repair that requires 500k

another problem is Ac. poor positioning resulting in uneven cooling
Car Talk / Re: 09 Highlander V6 (2gr) Burnt 2quarts Of Oil In 1750miles by FestacGirl(f): 1:36pm On Feb 02, 2019
angryupdate.
the oil leaking is from the drive shaft.

Now I'm wondering if the engine is burning synthetic 5w-20 oil.
i topped it up with 20w50 Mobil and it took exactly 2 quarts to gauge .
should this vehicle burn 2quarts in 1800miles ?

MotorGuru:
Sorry for the mishap ma.

The 2gr-fe engine in your car requires 5w-30 wink

and also, you obviously need to inspect and confirm source of leaks, given the attached pictures.

As this car uses Electric power steering, power steering fluid is ruled out.

Finally confirm the the oil cooler pipe is not the rubber hose type, if it is then it might be a culprit also, given the mileage of your car.


I would advise you dont drive the car for now till this is sorted out.
i Will check the will cooler pipe. but i don't think it's the culprit.

my 2gr requires 5w-20 stamped on the oil cover and service history .
, the highlanders without tow package uses 5w-20 while majority uses 5w-30

imported this car as toks this year and i serviced in September with Duramax 5w-20 (6quarts) Full synthetic and i checked my dipstick today and it's almost empty.

i have the same oil in my brother's 013 avalon and his has covered 7k miles and its still guaged.


i looked under the vehicle and i found traces of oil. but i don't know if its the engine oil.

To think of it, I allowed people talked me out of using Honda to buying toyota.
Yes my Honda leg is bad and power steering but really that is the only thing I fix. Since I got this Toyota, I keep fixing shocks and having all sort of mechanical problems.the engines like oil a lot and get heated quickly, whenever we are 3 or 4 in the car, I keel brushing the ground on rough roads or bumps. I just miss the Honda. I feel like king in it but Toyota makes me drive more carefully.
Lastly the fuel economy thing is a myth. My full tank in Honda takes me to work for 2 weeks but Toyota is like 1 week or less if I wakawaka small.

I don't know why someone who is willing to shell out millions to invest in a car, will not do simple background check before going to the market. It's easier these days to go online and read up car reviews before going to the market. Also someone mentioned VIN check before buying.
But sense is far from most Nigerians.
So who said the car wasn't checked before purchase.
Did you miss the part where I said car has 120k original miles.
Car was bought from a dealership with clean title not accidental scrap.

The recommended oil 5W30 you mentioned isn't recommended for the Nigerian temperatures. Use the 20W50 Mobil (ordinary Mobil) na 4000 - 4500 naira only.

Car Talk / Is Toyota As Reliable As Nigerians Make It Seem. by FestacGirl(f): 9:11pm On Jul 21, 2018
Is Toyota as Reliable as we try to make it seem in this country ?.

I've come to realise it's very easy to diagnose and the China inferior parts are everywhere Hence the reason why people think the parts are cheap.

I've used quite a few toyota's and I can say they are not very solid as people try to make it seem.

I had a 2007 camry bought from the states . Started shorting oil after 9 months. This is a very common problem with this model but people never mention it.
Ps I used the recommenfed oil, Mobil 1 from USA 5w-30

The almighty corolla we love so much is quite durable. But the suspension components are garbage and within a while the suspension noise will start.
The original parts are not even cheap.
But if you patronize the cheap Chinese you might get them cheap but they give away so fast.

I'm currently using a 2008 Highlander V6 2gr (picked it over the rav4 and rx330 ) Bought it 2 months ago.

This vehicle has only 120k original miles. The movement is very quick I must say .
On the glass it states the former owner has been servicing with 5w-20 Castrol and I was lucky to find couple of service history receipts in the glove compartment.
The car has been taken cared of well. But I noticed quite a few perks in a car of such miles. It makes the dreaded grinding noise at start up. I already changed the oil with 5w-20 Mobil but still same.

Why would a car of this mile be having vvti issues then I searched Internet . This is a common issues with this vehicle, The rav4 v6 , highlander v6 , auRion and Co .
From 2006 -2010 .
Toyota didn't issue any recall infact I found out it was a night mere for most users as they sold theirs when he noise started.

I also have foul smell from the exhaust when I accelerate . My catalytic converter is in good condition. No Cel . Most people also complain of this issue on the rav4 and highlander from as low as 30k miles.

This smell is scary because even with the windows up I smell it in the interior.


Their are loads of shitty issue I've noticed on toyota but people will ignore because of the hype.

The 2gr I heard is over 500k.

The camry 4plug engine is over 250k and it's not very durable.
** Start up sounds even from using the right oil
** Burning oil .
** The engine is also quite lazy.


I feel this brand is over hyped.
And people spend hundreds repairing this cars but they don't find anything wrong in doing that.
But if it was a Honda with such problems they would give it names.



If it was a Honda or Nissan it would have been crucified.

Cosplay:
This vehicle you have boldly advertised as accident free had severe and disabling accidents in 2017.

It was sold via iaai auction in 2017, purchased, underwent cosmetic repairs and put up at Copart auction, where it was bid on, and the winning bid was 7,000 USD, in April 2018, from Nigeria.

This vehicle is by no means, form or interpretation, accident free. As a matter of fact, the damage was very severe, involving the frame.
You are a wicked person.

Why would you put copart bid history with iaai Lot picture.
Isn't that you trying to set him up.

Why not put the iaai bid history that corresponds with the picture there.

You are making it seem like he bought this car on iaai which dates back 2017 yet you cojoined it with april 2018 bid history.

The copart advert never indicated damage history .
Neither did it show it was crashed.
If he didnt pull a vin report how do you expect him to find out its been crashed before except that title that states rebuilt ?
