oNj: Took my corolla 2009__the one they call 'South Africa' for shocks replacement. Was surprised to find that this car has no stabiliser Linkage, can't find any provisions for it on the car. I'm worried cos I was told this would wear the shocks easily; and at worst make the car sway at certain speed.
Please if you own one, or has experience with this car help me confirm that this particular model has no space for it.
If it does, kindly send pics of yours (exact same model). Pics of your suspension area please, especially where links/swaybar should bolt up. |
Car Talk › Jeremy Clarkson, Top Gear Host, Suspended By BBC After 'fracas' by GAZZUZZ(op): 9:10am On Mar 11, 2015 |
https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/340/media/images/81552000/jpg/_81552962_81545582.jpgTop Gear host Jeremy Clarkson has been suspended by the BBC after what it called a "fracas" with a producer. Sources said he was accused of hitting the producer in an incident last week, and the remaining three episodes of the current series might not be broadcast. The BBC confirmed one episode - due for broadcast on Sunday - would not be shown, but gave few further details. Clarkson, 54, has not commented, but has been joking on social media about films that could replace Sunday's show. He was given what he called his "final warning" last May after claims he used a racist word during filming. At the time, he said the BBC had told him he would be sacked if he made "one more offensive remark, anywhere, at any time". In a statement earlier, the BBC said: "Following a fracas with a BBC producer, Jeremy Clarkson has been suspended pending an investigation. "No one else has been suspended. "Top Gear will not be broadcast this Sunday. "The BBC will be making no further comment at this time." Source: http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-31824040 |

Corporal shoots MOPOL commander to death in Bauchi
FEBRUARY 27, 2015 BY ARMSTRONG BAKAM, BAUCHI A Police Corporal on Thursday shot and killed the Commanding Officer, Mobile Police Force, Bauchi, SP Chris Eza.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Haruna Mohammed, said this in a statement made available to the PUNCH in Bauchi on Friday.
He said, “On the 26/2/2015 (Thursday) at about 11.20pm, the Commanding officer, Mopol 10 PMF, Bauchi, SP Chris L Eza, was shot by a Police Corporal while on routine visit at the Stop and Search point, along Ahmadu Bello way, Bauchi.
“Victim was rushed to ATBU Teaching Hospital, Bauchi, where he was certified dead by a medical doctor and corpse deposited at the mortuary for postmortem examination.”
Mohammed said the scene of the crime was immediately visited by the Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Mohammed, and his management team.
He said the suspect had been arrested while the police commissioner had ordered a full scale investigation into the incident.
The PPRO confirmed on the telephone on Friday that the suspect had been arrested.
“I told you that the matter is under investigation and it is after we have concluded that we would know the details of exactly what happened,” he said. Nurey if u see a man wielding a gun in nigeria forget abt your rights, keep calm until he is without a gun then you can make noise. |

bimbor: Thanks guys for your swift responses;
I just did a full Auto scan now and what I got baffled me, I'm afraid Gazzuzz was right!!
Please find details below:
P0304 - Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected
P2401 - Evaporative Emmission System Leak Detect Pump Control Circuit Low
P2402 - Evaporative Emmission System Leak Detect Pump Control Circuit High P2419 - Evaporative Emmission System Switching Valve Control Circuit Low
So what do I do now? Is it possible for a new model car like a 2008 car to be having such issues like this?
What is my next advised line of actions please? Pump that creates negetive vaccum in tank seems to be faulty. Work on the misfire first(spark plug, injectors, coils) |

valarinz: Hello house,
Sometimes my car engine doesn't totally go off even when I've out it off and removed the keys and even locked the car, you still hear the engine whirring for some minutes before it finally dies down.
Is there anyone with an explanation to this and is it a cause for worry.
Thanks Type of vehicle? Are you fans connected to work immediately the ignition is switched on? |

This only happens sometimes especially after a long journey.
What do i do? I also dont have a learned and trusted mechanic.
I dislike Honda place too. Kindly assist. you have a misfire, could be from any of the 4cylinders, you could do a drop test to identify the culprit or scan. when was the last time you replaced your sparkplugs? |

Car Talk › Pic Fake Timing Belt@ 6months 10,000km by GAZZUZZ(op): 9:13am On Mar 08, 2015 |
My NEIHBOUR travelled to the village last year and on his way back his timing belt snapped, luckily there was no valve damage (7A-FE engine) he replaced the timing belt and move on presently his car is @150,000km if he had changed the timing belt @ 80k or 100k I'm sure he would have avoided the snap. Yesterday his car didn't start, so having gazzuzz as his NEIHBOUR he called me to check it I scanned and found no codes! But there was no spark and no injection of fuel. I checked fuses relays, all were intact. Using a digital mm I checked for a pulse at the crankshaft position sensor and there was none! Removed timing belt cover and pulley and I was shocked to see a cracked belt just waiting to snap  when I removed the crank sensor I noticed the belt had damaged its surface and cause it to fail, bits of the belt were also visible in the lower parts of the timing belt area. If you ever have to replace your timing belt, please insist on original belts by reputable manufacturers, not the 3k belts sold in the market. If you cannot find original and you are stuck on the road, ensure you replace quickly. If you are the type that changes oil every six weeks you could just throw in a timing belt every now and then (my number de my signature I de supply belt)  Fake belts will kill your engine really fast, insist on original.

Car Talk › Re: Please Recommend A Good Toyota AC Technician by GAZZUZZ(m): 7:27am On Mar 08, 2015 |
blackfm: The guy actually mentioned doing that but also said it could still run fine after testing plus the cost was already way above my budget so I stuck with the old one. Good thing evaporator was fine else ild have tuck tails and ran  The point is, you can't fix a compressor that is low on pressure, you can fix one that is leaking. Have you seen the inside of a compressor? |
Family › Re: Help! My Life Is Nosediving by GAZZUZZ(m): 7:25am On Mar 08, 2015 |
fitzk: I really need help...hence this outburst. I live in Abuja, a graduate with more than 10 years working experience as admin officer. I am married with 4 kids( the oldest 9 and the youngest 4) I was once financially stable until 2013 when I lost substantial amount of money in a failed contract I got and consequently, lost my job to it. I was faced with litigation but got out of it after settling out of court in respect of the failed contract. In the midst of this my wife fell sick since 2013, she was just diagnosed of some infections on her internal organs. As it is now, my 4 kids have been out of school since January 2015.
THINGS I HAVE DONE SO FAR 1. I started using my car as drop / kabu-kabu until last year March when I had accident with it and couldn't put it back on the road. About #100,000 is needed for that.
2. I moved my family out of a 3 bedroom into 2 bedroom in one of the satellite towns
3. I changed my kids from a #40k tuition school each to a 10k tuition each( yet couldn't meet obligations)
4. I sold some house items to raise money though at ridiculously give away prices.
5. I have been searching for jobs, attended several interviews but no job. I now know that one doesn't appreciate what he has until he loses it.
MY NEEDS 1. Treatments and drugs for my wife
2. Repairs of my car so that I can start transport biz while I look for job
3. Money to for accommodation. I have made up my mind to move my family into a one bedroom apartment any where possible as I am still owing tent for the current year for sum of #210k
MY PLANS 1. moving to 1 bedroom apartment pending improvement in my finances
2. Enrollment of my kids in LEA Primary school closest to wherever I get 1 bedroom apartment
3. Selling off some items more: a. Washing machine b. Yamaha Keyboard/piano c. Micro waves d. Artwork ( large painting for decoration) e. Glass Dinning set for 4 ( but six ppl can use it) * It has been pretty difficult selling this items though...I still want buyers
REQUEST 1. Pls if you need or someone who might neef them help buy. #MyLifeIsNosediving
2. In case you know anyone who can help with accommodation... I am not choosy as I stand to be evicted in few days ahead.
3. If anyone can help with ANY legit job. I am open to jobs that will enable me take of my family. Again I am not choosy
OR
4. If anyone can loan my #100k my car will be back on the road and I will be able to have income to take care of my family while I look for job.
NB: I seem to have become financial parasite to friends and the local church I attend. I understand them perfectly and I have no hard feelings.
THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE If you could divulge this much information, why is it so hard to place your number, email, contact? And sorry I do not buy the 090xxxx. I wish you the best, but if you have come this far, best to bare it all. I can help with the car if your story can be verified. |

blackfm: Work In Progress 1. Evaporator was checked and confirmed ok, it had a lot of oil that had to be flushed anyway. 2. Expansion valve changed. 3. Drier was blocked with pure water nylon by god know who and then cut off from the radiator..these were corrected 4. Compressor was repaired for low pressure ..has excess oil too 5. Condenser and hi-low hoses were flushed This better work, my pocket aint smiling right now I feel you should have replaced that compresor. |

Notice it only occurs when fuel is 25% below but above that it drives normal. Sometimes it goes off when I try to press the pedal when in motion. could it be the oxygen censor? advice would be appreciated. thank you. Notice it only occurs when fuel is 25% below but above that it drives normal. Check fuel pump and sender |
