I noticed this evening while driving home that my car's RPM suddenly shots up to about 4000 rpm,I was traveling at a speed of between 80 and 100km per hour. The car is a Toyota highlander 2003 with six plugs.

Is this normal/okay?

Would you advise that I keep driving it in this condition?

What could be the possible cause of this?

Gurus, pls advise me

Yes..kind of...my mechanic did some "servicing" on the fuel pump and there was considerable improvement some months ago. He also told me i will need to change the fuel pump as time goes on.

I guess i will be doing that soon as the symptom seems to be coming on again

I have not tried it yet

mayor2013:

OMG !

But it's not a funny matter o

OK boss

OK...just called, call wasn't picked...will do so again

iyimide:
Go straight and change d fuel pump with its filter..if there is no improvement, come and slap me.

Lol..

thanks.

Is there a separate scan for gears? I thought the scan will bring out all the issues on the the gear, engine and other parts?

Where can i run such in lagos?

I went through yoour website and was disaapointed (to say the least) with the kind of grammatical blunders you put up there

Examples are :

"Phemtem Concept is a register firm organized to assist clients via providing a unique services"

"co-operate gift items"

I do not mean to pull you down but these are sincerely unpardonable errors !

I drive a toyota highlander 2003 and I have been having some issues with it recently.

-When i start the car in the morning (or even in the evening at close of work) and the engine is still cold, the car hesitates and i practically have to apply some effort to the accelerator before the car moves especially if its on a rough or uneven surface; the car doesnt move well until I have driven for some time then it picks speed

- I notice that when this hesitation happens, when the car responds; it suddenly surges forward

- When at top speed the car moves excellently well

- When in traffic and it requires that apply the brake and accelerator intermittently, the car "groans' as the car moves forward. This however does not happen when i am moving at top speed and i do not need to stop or apply the brake

-I have done a scan of the car and the error codes are :P0155,P0135,P0302,P0304,P0306,P0010,P0020,C0205,C0210,C0215,C1241,C0278.
-I was advised to change the plugs, tune up the nozzles and change three defective ignition coils; all these had been done but the situation has not improved

Could someone please advise on possible cause of this and solution?

Thanks a million in advance

Good day Justwise and other good people in the house. Thank you all for your help and support for others. I will appreciate your advice on my visa application.
I applied for visa on the 28th of Oct and i was refused a 6 months visa application on the 15th of Nov. Reason for refusal was that I stated in my application my net salary of 200k+ which I supported with pay slips, bank statement etc. However they notice that on the 5th of October there was a cash deposit of 1.5m which I didn't explain the source therefore they are not convinced that that money is available for my use.
The 1.5m was contribution I was doing with a total of 10 other pple at 150k per month and it was my turn to collect end of September.
I want to know how best to explain the contribution. In my statement. They will notice a monthly direct debit of 150k to a particular person. That person is in charge of collating all d money and paying to d person whose turn it is to collect. And it was that same person that returned the 1.5m to me less 5k for admin services so he paid 1495000 on d 5th of Oct. I plan to print my statement from January to highlight the contributions.
As at date of application the balance in my account was about 1.2m
Since after application, I have spent some of the money. 357 on rent. I loaned first 150k to my cousin then another 80k which will be highlighted in d statement and she will pay back this month end.
Closing balance as at today is about 500k. I want to reapply after this month end. After my salary, refund of 230k from my cousin and a little bonus I am expecting I should have a little over 1m.
Im sorry this is a bit lengthy. I just want to know how best to explain d 1495000. Apart from highlighting in my statement the transfers. The guy in charge of collation has a personal biz. Is it OK if he issues me receipts monthly for collection of 150k to attach to my application?
I hope the 230k from my cousin will not be considered lodgement if I highlight the transfers of 150k and later 80k
My sister in law has also sent me 400k one time in april. And another 800k in July to help pay for some goods for her. Altho it wasn't raised as an issue b4 should I still explain it?
I operate a single account for both salary and every other transaction so there are soo many transactions on the account. Do I need to explain every single money that entered my account since January. Or just maybe the ones say over a certain amount.
I plan to submit again first week in December. Thank u for your kind assistance.
Once again I apologise for d length of my enquiry.

I really wished you had sought opinion here before you sent in your application. I also was involved in monthly contribution but based on all the advices i gathered from here, i took to explain it in my cover letter to the ECO.

I sincerely believe every inflow and possiby outflow that the ECO may find questionable should be explained. My wife felt my cover letter was too explanatory but i would rather be too explanatory and get the visa (which i did) than withhold explanations and have my visa refused. See my cover letter below, you may find the content useful in drafting your own cover letter whily appealing or re-applying. You may also need to get some sort of agrrement drafted by a lawyer with names and signatures of all the people that were part of the monthly contribution scheme.

Dear Sir,

GENERAL VISITORS’ VISA:
I hereby apply for a UK general visitor’s visa (valid up to 6 months) to enable me spend a time of vacation with my wife (xxxxx) in the United Kingdom. I am currently employed as a full time staff of xxxxxxx Lagos in the capacity of xxxxxxxx.

During my stay in the United Kingdom for two weeks, I will be staying with my wife at The Crystal Lodge Hotel, 49 Brigstock Road, Thornton Heath, CR7 7JH, United Kingdom, +447872969494.We plan to visit notable places like the Buckingham palace, the London Bridge, Emirates Stadium, 02 Arena and other tourist sites during our stay. The vacation will definitely provide a good get away experience for us.

I find it necessary to provide the following additional information:

1. My immediate family (my wife, my daughter and I since my son was not born yet at that time) had a change of surname in 2012; please find enclosed sworn affidavit and newspaper publication to that effect.
2. My former passport which was issued on 09 Feb, 2011 and which should expire on Feb 08, 2016 has been retained by the Nigeria Immigration Service, National Headquarters Abuja on issuance of a new one to me when I applied for a change of name on the passport. It is considered wrong to release two unexpired passports to me bearing different surname. Please find a photocopy of the old passport in this application.
3. Our Children (xxxxxx) will be taken care of by my mother when we are away in the United Kingdom.
4. My Salary figure for June 2015 as reflected on both the Pay slip and the Bank Statement of Account is higher than the figure for every other month because my leave allowance for the year (N100, 598.50) was paid with the salary. Narrations on the pay slip also reveals this
5. A credit of N158,738.31 that reflects in my account as being paid on July 27, 2015 was the Staff bonus I received for the company’s performance in the previous financial year which ended on March 31, 2015. Copy of the mails sent to all Staff by the CEO of my company with regards to the performance bonus for staff is also included in this application. It is also stated in my employment letter that I am entitled to a yearly performance bonus.
6. A cash payment of N200, 000 which came into my account on 30th April from one Bleep (a friend of mine) from Union Bank was paid by in to my account because the depositor needed to transfer the money to one xxxxx who has an account with GT Bank. He however could not transfer the money directly to her because his internet banking profile restricts him from transferring to accounts in other Banks. He can only do intra-bank transfer within Union Bank. I therefore offered to help him transfer the fund from my Union Bank (on receipt of same in my account) to xxxxx GT Bank account. This I did on same day.
7. Payment of N27, 210 on August 13, 2015 and N5088.25 on September 28 were Sales incentives for businesses referred to the Sales Team by me. My employment offer letter states that I am entitled to such.
8. Debits of N200, 000 each from my account on 31st March and 29th April, 2015 were in respect of a monthly contribution scheme I was involved in. xxxxx (whose account the payment were made into) was the coordinator of the scheme which ended by the end of April.


Kindly find enclosed all relevant documents for this application.

I trust that you will find that everything is in order and I assure you that I will return back to my work and family at the end of my two weeks visit. For questions, clarification and interview, please feel free to contact me anytime.


Yours Sincerely,


xxxxxxxx

Hello i greet the house,
I Have applied for UK tourist visa in Abuja in 2014 and i was refused, the reason why i was reused was that.....
1. you state you are self employed as evidence of this you have provided your certificate of registration of your business. you however provided no evidence that this business is currently trading. i am therefore not.
2. you have also provided your personal bank statement as evidence of your funds. i note that all of the payments to your account are in cash including those noted as salary. as you have not provided evidence of the source of funds paid in your account, i am not satisfied the funds in your account are wholly owned by you and area true reflection of your financial circumstance in Nigeria.
I have therefore refused your application because i am not satisfied, on the balance of probabilities, that you meet all of the requirements of the relevant paragraph of the united kingdom i migrations rules.
These are the document submitted then
1. Statement of account
2. Marriage pictures
3. Corporate affair certificate
4. Company Invoice
5. Hotel reservation
6. Marriage certificate
7. Tax Card
I have start making transfer in my account now not only cash deposit But Which one is now evidence of trading because i want to reapply again in Lagos and i want the house to advise me what to do because i want my visa granted this time. I have read how you guess have help many people here that is why i am also running to you guess to advise me what to do concerning the reason the mentioned about my refusal. I believe in your guys. Look forward to hear from you guys soon. Thank you

The evidence that your company is running is the company's statement of account.I guess you only included your own statement of account.

You could also include copies of recent invoices,LPOs, VAT remittance,tax clearance ,office rent receipt and other documents that will convince the ECO that your company is actually in business.

Hello guys, TGIF. Please is there specific UK exchange rate guide? or one can just use online. Oanda or www. xe.com?

It's oanda

okay o

I seem to be in a fix. I am travelling to the UK on Monday but I cant seem to find where to buy BTA (Pounds). Union Bank promised to sell to me but on getting to their head office today they claimed they do not have pounds anymore. I also approached Access Bank and GT Bank. Feedbacks were negative. Using POS/ATM for transactions abroad will be terribly expensive because of the charges. Buying from the black market is equally expensive, the mallams on broad street are selling at N347 to 1 POUND. Can someone advise?
