The heavy rainfall witnessed in Lagos not long ago destroyed things in my house. The flood entered my car to the gear level! Now the electrician said that the brain box is damaged. I can't afford a replacement now and I am not even sure if the rewire is right. Any suggestion someone?

Morning! Thanks for the update. The criminal act must have been performed by the previous mechanic before purchase as you will be the first engineer to work on the engine/transmission area. I'm shocked they could bypass such an important component leaving the range sensor useless. Now, there are two problems here; the bypassed range sensor and wrong wiring from the cable which you said threw up the code. Assuming the wiring was done correctly with the range sensor still bypassed, would there still be a code? I believe in your competence to restore the factory settings and that was why I refused to consult any mechanic since I discovered the error. You could also help me look at the loosely hanging airbag cable beside the left headlamp. That could be another wicked connection. Well done!

[color=#990000][/color]Great Nairalanders i need your help. i have MPV 2001 i recently noticed that the car consume fuel in excess beyond normal. Imagine me buying fuel of #5'000 from Lagos to Ibadan without much traffic and yet praying to see the nearest filling station before getting back to Lagos . i have change the nozzles, changed the censor, the plug and still it continue. please what do i do

18wheeler:
GAZZUZ you are good. Not just in knowledge, but in character. May you ever excel in all you do. I've benefitted alot from you. Your endeavor is blessed. Cheers!!!

nurey:
OGA Siena, do you mean my car cannot attain the 220 mark on the Odometer or it can attain it but LATE. Also thanks for the word of encouragement

3ace:
Oh! Sorry for posting my query there. lol with "my DIY being the problem" here. Admittedly, I'm still a baby DIYer you know-I know that I'll get better with time. From your explanation, the range sensor won't be replaced afterall. No wonder I was able to drive the car for a long time without any noticeable issue. As we agreed, just help me secure it against the stud for safety by way of welding(slight welding enough to hold the range sensor firmly and remove it easily if there's need for replacement in future). I'm sure the rust currently holding them together will eventually give way with time. But one question though, does that mean that the cable was the culprit responsible for the DTC? Enjoy your weekend and I'll see you on Monday.

Hi Gazzuzz! This is the 05 corolla man. Walahi, except for condition 3(it's been long I posted here), my car qualifies for this offer considering the fact that it only has cosmetic scratches. But for the fun of it(cos I see this as a game), I would like to see who emerges the winner. By the way, how far have you gone with the repairs particularly the transmission range sensor?

Denn:
But why is SUV excluded?

Same number of average body panels.

Kindly review and revert.

Thanks

Jakumo:
Acquire a live tortoise, and tie it around your neck, to protect you while on this epic journey accross Nigeria's bad lands.

Additionally, sell that car with its lawn mower engine, in order to BOW DEEPLY before the Almighty V8 Engine.

On the eighth day, after resting up a bit on the seventh day, the Good Lord created the V8 Engine, for the salvation of mankind.

I flat REFUSE to even acknowledge the existence of ANY car that is not equipped with a V8 engine, talk less of entering one, or owning one.

Repent, Young Grasshopper, and change your ways, before the Good Lord reaches for his koboko horse-whip.

Please I need the price of the two external sensors on a CRV 2000 model gearbox? As well as the cost of the gearbox itself? If I replace the sensors and still have the P0730, i plan to replace the gearbox?

The great Gazzuzz....i have come again. There's this persistent issue I've been having with my car. I hear this pop-like sound in my left-side front tyre. My mechanic told me it was the steering rack because at a point, my steering was loose. I changed it but that sound still persists. Please can you offer any help? I wouldn't mind coming to your workshop. Regards.
