Bros u need to meet this guy. . . . . .maybe one of these days, anytime you are in Town.

Vibrations haven't totally gone, but i will do a wheel balancing and alignment and see what's up. Then plan to change the disc and brakes again.

I wish Gazzuz will give me the price for a good one.

Hi my fellow Car enthusiast.
I have a 2005 honda pilot (135,000 miles) and it sometimes rattles at colds start then sound smoothens in 1mins. Mechanic has checked the power steering pump, ac compressor bearing, alternator and its not any of these. Serpentine belt was changed last yr and its OEM from USA.

A friend who is also a honda user checked and instantly told me its likely to be the timing belt tensioner, and that its better i do the timing belt change as well with the complete kit.

My scare is that this is a skilled job, going by youtube videos and i don't want any person to work on this except a professional honda technician. I also like my car neatly don, not throwing away screws and ensuring everything is put in place like the manaufacturer.

Please my friends, kindly recommend a good honda technician who is able to perform this job. I reside at gbagada lagos.

Awaiting your kind responses.

I wanted to change the fuel pump of my toyota corolla 2007 model. the mechanic guy is telling me that the new fuel pump is 6,000 naira while tokunbo is 4,000. I want to confirm if that is the true price in the market.

@Gazzuzz,
nice one. My respect for you is now on a new level. i like your workshop and the fact you have the right tools for the job.
Am interested in the progress of the honda pilot with its myriad of issues and how you are fixing each one.

Question: what's your take on using spacers to cure a p0420 catalyst code error? does it affect fuel mileage?

Hello all, please I need your advice. I want to purchase a Nigerian used infiniti fx35 - 2006 for 1.3. Is this a good buy? Also this will be my second car as I currently use a corolla which has only been to the mechanic three times since I bought it toks a year ago. All three occasions were to change the oil, I've had absolutely no cause to spend any extra cash. If I buy the fx, I will be driving it from surulere to work on the island everyday. Please how expensive is it to maintain the car, I reckon it will be more expensive than my corolla and I am fine with that but I will like to know just how expensive. Are the parts readily available, does the car have issues like the murano, can I get a good mechanic, i earn 180k a month, so please put this into consideration.
I wanted to buy the murano but from my research here on nairaland one word kept coming up, RUN. So I decided to run from the murano, should I also run from the infiniti fx3??
If yes, what about a 2006 Nissan pathfinder?? Nigerian used too for around the same price.
I will really appreciate your helpful responses as I don't know much about cars. Thanks.

pls my toyota corolla is showing check Engine code, i took it for scaning with the following report;

code 001
poo31 oxygen sebsor

They keep on clearing the check Engine Code without rectifying the fault but after driving for some hours the code appear again.

kindly send information that can be of help.

I just did scan now. They said its crank shaft sensor. They said it has to do with brainbox.

Pls advice

nurey:
with 4500 you can get a scanner that will scan ur vehicle and alo show u live feeds of ur oxygen and co snesors using torque pro as the sofware on ur smart phone. if u don't have time, ask gazzuzz here he will help you with a free scan and also do the repairs for a token.

Hi house. We stumbled on a deal recently where we got a toyota solara , 2006 quite cheaply. The looked good and appeared to have no problems except the vibration we noticed when the.car is revved.
At first we thought the vibration was being caused by may be the exhaust pipes being out of place or a bad engine seating, but after careful examination it appears they're not.
The engine appears sound but one mechanic is saying the only way to get rid of that vibration is if we change that engine. The problem is that changing the engine would make a sweet deal turn, may be not sour but not too sweet.
