Meet me outside make we discuss 08023251039.

Is the 120k for parts alone? The previous quotation someone gave me was for conversion; don't think I will be the one buying the replaceable parts.

Complete job.

simplex2:
Great, thanks a bunch. Wheres your part dealer? Lagos?
By doing it properly, I guess you mean papers and the likes?
Anything else?

I mean conversion process. Ensure parts are replaced and not fabricated or managed.

simplex2:
manual. thanks for showing, been trying to track you down.

Well for the price (400k) at the rate at which the dollar is soaring I think you should get it. But ensure it is done properly. I called a part dealer about your conversion and its roughly 120k.

simplex2:
I got this option of a tokumbo peageot 206 with full features: Ac, airbag, super-clean, custom-cleared.
After much bargain, we settled for N280k which i considered a very fair deal.

Now here's the catch:

1. Right hand drive: Spoke to a mechanic and he gave the cost of converting to left hand at N120k so I'll be spending a total of N400k for purchase and conversion.
2. One-door (driver and passenger alone)

I want to seek your sincere advice on this deal. I dont know much about cars so wouldn't know the challenges of a converted peageot.

Thanks.

I have 2005 model of Toyota Camry. I noticed that the dashboard displays ABS light ON even when I'm driving. Please is this a normal thing? If not, what can I do to rectify this. Thanks all.

Your vehicle I s equiped with 4wheel speed sensors and 1abs pump, if you run a scan, it will identify what specifically is bad or damaged and then you replace it.

For a scan and replacement call 08023251039

Hey guys,
My frnd has a manual Toyota and he complains that when he clutches to change gear, the rpm rises to about 2000-3000. And he says the car now uses fuel like never before. Even sometimes at idle, the car rpm is still at 1500rpm. It's a 08 Toyota Corolla.

He needs help and his mechanic is saying is a vacuum leak.

It might be a vacuum leak, it might be a faulty throttle body, if you have a scanner you can scan for error codes and post them here for better responses, if you live in lagos and would like a comprehensive diagnosis and repair call 08023251039

orieke:
please i need help from people that owns a land rover Discovery 2. My own is bringing out a.
black smoke and the mechanic says the air filometer does not have current. The vehicle can not fire well and it is missing firing. Again the plugs sometimes soak.
Thanks

If the bolded is correct, your problem is half solved. Now most components(sensors) on your engine share a common ground line, as well as a 5v and 12v power supply, so I'm guessing more than one sensor is affected presently.

Solutions, run through your fuses, run a scan post codes here so we can help point you in the reight direction. Please do not buy any parts for now.

ZIMDRILL:
you have gave us the details of your car, from what you discribe i assume that your power steering is powered by an electric motor

its sound that your battery holding charge (the charge from the alternator ) the cells in the battery are dying they hold charge

Its a carinaII or carinaE. 1989-95 max

ogawisdom:
I noticed for sometime nw n particularly this evening as I was abt to drive out dt my steering ws stiff and this happened for abt 1min b4 it feels normal onces more.

Mean while my sound system drags abit n cuts off as I rolled down d window as if d battery has insufficient power to carry out all functions at once.

After driving for two minutes everything got back to normal n neva happens again until d first start up for d next day.

Wats goin on

NB I do a lot of short distance city driving 10 - 30min with stop n go traffic n I wonder if its sufficient for d alternator to charge d battery fully

Serpentine belt is slack, re-adjust.

I no go sch. .

Hi Nairaland,

I am seeking advice from experienced people.

I have been saving to by my first car just b4 my 30th birthday. I hear toyota cars are generally ok, but would you recommend a Yaris , maybe a 2007 - 2009 model.

Toyota corolla and camry just seem to common hence my preference for Yaris.

Looking forward to your advice.

Buy the yaris, thank me later.

abidemidare:
I had a very terrible experience last nite when my EOD 2004 V6 was stopped working like 10 times inside traffic, and start working after 2minuates, but I managed taken it home, I called my mechanic, he asked me to check the radiator which I did, the radiator was ok. We discovered this morning that the head of battery (positive) that connected to Hart was loose,my mechanic said that was the caused, he said there's nothing wrong with the engineer. has anyone had such experienced? Please I need your advice.

Thank you

Your vehicle should be able to run properly without a battery connected (not advice able) if for any reason it rough idles or misfires then there's a problem, it could be anything, but what it is not is a battery fault.

A scan might pinpoint the culprit, also good old trouble shooting after a scan will be invaluable.

ThesE days every body don de make synthetic oil.

Name rymco, product label........ Syrinx fs

ujuesther:
Thanks bro. I serviced my engine less than 3 weeks ago. I am wondering this is popping up now.

Any idea please?

from when it was last reset

Avoid kazeem if you want your car to last long.

ujuesther:
Hello Friends,
I am not very vast in this area but I want to know when it will become necessary
to change my ATF. Someone checked it recently and said the Oil is light.

Very important also, on my dashboard there's a 'maintenance required' indication. I don't know what this means.

The car is a Honda 2002 Model.

Thanks in anticipation.

Your vehicle is 13years old when was the fluid last changed? You replace oil ever 100k miles.

Maitenance reqired light will come up every 5000miles from when it was last reset. It is designed to let you know your engine oil is due for service

blazetitov:
Oga Gazzuzz,
Please your advice is needed. A colleague 1999 Toyota Camry(Pencil light) goes off on when motion whenever he slows down. It starts to vibrate then it goes off or keep vibrating or jerking until he is able to increase the car's speed again. His Mr Kazeem has 'washed' the car's Fuel Pump, Injector, Fuel Filter and Nozzle but the problem still persist causing him some embarrassment like going off on Alaka bridge on Monday morning on his way to work.

The CEL is on. He said it came on after the car was serviced sometimes ago. The car was scanned today and the code that came up was;

PO401 (EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION FLOW INSUFFICIENT DETECTED).

Kindly advice on what to do next.

Opinions from other car gurus in the house are welcomed.

erictoonice:
thanks bro, the car is in a better condition today, doesn't give hard start any more I drove it to test it but the only problem now is that its not raising well, it doesn't get higher than 3500rpm therefore doesn't change into the fourth gear.
am currently in ughelli in Delta state and I haven't been able to get someone to scan the car for me but am still looking for I'll update when I've scanned.
I really don't have pics of both engine but after dropping the first engine, the only different we saw was the sensor and the person that sent the engine said its just to loose the oil pump in the vtech and put in this one.
something we also noticed in the VTEC engine is that its not the real engine that came with the car SD it didn't fit the gear box fly wheel as the Mech said, they had to do some construction to make it fit, but this engine fitted the gear box at ones

Your vehicle is in limp mode cause of an absense of a vtech sensor unbolt your old vtech sensor and connect the harness problem "might" be fixed.
