@midas 02
I know you are irritated that it took so long to do the compression test .

You must have forgotten that Nija is not a straight forward place like that ,that was why i requested for your number .

However it is now too late ,let me just keep on praying for the best and hope the guy can deliver.

I will keep you guys posted on how it goes with the car.

@ Everybody , Pls pls and pls don't let us exchange words ,this is a serious issue we are rubbing minds about. I BEG


@Midas 02

Yes you are right that is an exact replica of my engine .It is a 1999 model ,

Like i suggested earlier can you please mail me yr no so that i can ring you when i take it for testing .

I am taking it for the compression test on Wednesday btw 12noon and 1 pm (nigerian time )


@Promise 72
I bought the car myself and did a CARFAX report which acn out positive when i bought the car.
The car is slightly over a year old though .

@ Sultaan ,

I have changed those coils in the picture and probelm was still not fixed.
I bought tokunbos and not brand new coils
You seems to have a clue as well about this fault .
Do you mind sending me yr number as well so that i can liaise with you on the phone when the test is been carried .

The mechanic guy said it had 14 errors and they were all relating to cylinder Misfire. Email address is folarina@gmail.com

I dont have the codes with me hence why i cant post the codes.

@ Sultan

The current milage is 115k

I dont think the transmission can affect the engine but i will still get them to have a look at the same .

@ everyone

Thanks a lot for the various replies.

This fault just started over night,i just parked it over night myself and the problem started the next morning .

Oil Change was done approx 3 Weeks before this fault started by a reputable co (elizade) ,they supplied the oil

Diagnostic machine has been used to find the fault but still no good.

The error code it is reporting is ''Cylinder misfire''

@Midas 02

You are right because ,one of the guys that have had a look at the car complained about low compression coming from one of the cylinders.

I am not sure what the reads are ,but he said he has managed to bring up the compression on that particular cylinder.

Do you mind giving me your number so that i can liaise with you directly on the phone while the test is going on .

You can send your number to folarina@gmail.com,i am hoping to take the car to a machinc this weekend.

I hope it will be convenient for you .

Assuming the problem is with the compression what is the way out,

I am really disappointed in the SUV cos i thought Lexus are a good brand name

@Midas 02

Thanks for taking intrest in the post.

A big brown point if you can help out with this problem

The problem started as if the plugs were wet,it was making some funny noises
Those kinds of noise only comes on when car plugs are wet ,it was sluggish as well ,wont accelerate well at all. It still drives but slowly !

I have removed the Iridium plugs and put in new one ( Cost N2000 each @ elizade but ordered if from yankee via a friend).The whole set of plugs have been changed but same problem.
Another mechanic diagnosed it to be a problem with the Coil on the plugs ( each plugs carry individual coil ) Coils were changed but fault still not fixed.

Another mechanic said it might be problem with the fuel supply ,nossils were cleaned and re-calibrated .This really did not solve the problem as well.

I am at a breaking point now because,another person diagnosed it to be a valve issue .One of the cylinders seems not have compression .
They now want to open the engine ,am sure you agreed with me that this is really a scary option .

Do you think i should allow them to open the engine and possibly check the Valve seal.

By the way did i mention that along the line a mechanic advised that the fuel pump in the engine might be responsible , though i have not changed that yet .

You are a super star if you can crack this tough nut .

You are absolutely right ,am about setting it up , hence why am asking all these question.

I have had a deep thought about our society and the best business to do in these melt down period is to trade in an essential commodity.

Things like food,recharge card ,water,petrol etc.

Gone were the days when the capital market was a good venture but now that everything has burst , omo boy needs to survive now

Tough situation don't last but tough people do !

Ogogoro must survive!

I must just trying to cover all end that is why i am asking all these question .

Surely no business in nigeria is child's play ,I pray God will see us through .

Security wise ,is it true that the cards can be blocked by the Operator if stolen ?

@ Olumidea

Thanks a lot ,your website is really very impressive.

I will surely stick to CAT but which is stronger CAT 320 or CAT325 esc?

Cheers

Hey NL,

Please i am about to set up a co that will lease out machinery's ie excavator,Bull dozer,Wheel loader etc.


Can some one kindly advise on the most reliable brand and make ie CAT,VOLVO,KAMATASU ,JCB etc
