Observer007: Hello auto gurus in the house, which is the correct tyre pressure guide to follow: what's written on the tyres or what's pasted on the driver's side of the car? Or the usual 40/45 psi that most vulcanizers are wont to administer?
On my saloon car (ES), the tyre pressure indicated is 29 psi (cold pressure), while on the tyres it's recommended at 44psi. All so confusing!
Personally, I've always insisted on 35 psi on all four tyres. But now I'm afraid I might be under-inflating the tyres which can lead to quicker wear.

fk001: Oga Gazzuzz and Nurey pls I need assistance here.
I wants to buy a corrolla South African type as a Nigerian Used, it was originally bought by a bank, then the put it on instalment payment to one of their staff, after he paid off he claimed the ownership.
After two years usage the staff sold it off to one of his nephew.
So I want to buy from the nephew, but my confusion is the guy said South African model doesn't have custom duty, it only has receipt of purchase from SA.
How true is it pla, he said that custom never bothered him about it.
Thank and I will be anticipating your responses
South African corollas do not require custom duty.
harshimyomesk: Good day boss, I use Honda Civic 08, was having d D indicator blinking, after scanning 2nd clucth sensor was indicated, wch was the sensor with the brown plastic. But I couldn't find that one so I was given the one with black plastic. Plz did this sensors works for each other?
There's a reason they have different colours and part numbers .
arcbaba: Sorry for jumping on this thread sir!, I have always had this P0031 on my Toyota Corolla 2005 and I tot the code was related to lack of catalyst in the car. That's y I have never bothered to replace that sensor. So if I replace the bank 1 sensor that particular codes will disappear
Yes you will stop having the p0031 code, you will also get much better fuel economy
eagleeye2: Uncle GAZZUZZ � and other elders in the house I greet you ohh. Please between a new Radiator and a 'direct' Belgium (Tokunbo) radiator which should I go for. Also my car keeps throwing up the P0171 code and I am thinking of changing the fuel filter (the engine one), because it often loses power and goes off when it stays long in the traffic and the oil light keeps blinking. Thank you as I wait for your advice.
A brand new China radiator is always better than a used one.
nbolaji: After scanning the abs it displays no ABS DTC's are presently stored on the vehicle's computer.
Thank you
nbolaji: Toyota camry 2005 4 plug Automatic. Petrol High fuel consumption and doesn't shift gear like it use to. It doesn't start on the first crank in the morning and when it start RPM stays around 1800 for while before it finally drop to 900+.
I scanned the car and I got the following error
Car Scanner INNOVA 3100 abs P0031 Selected brand: Toyota HO2S Heater Control Circuit Low(Bank 1, Sensor 1)
P0500 Vehicle Speed Sensor A
Thank you GAZZUZZ
Alright let's get to it .
First code P0031 TOYOTA Oxygen Sensor Heater Control Circuit Low Bank 1 Sensor 1
Your O2 sensor bank1 sensor 1 us bad. You will need to replace the one at the top. It will contribute to higher than expected fuel economy .
Inability to start on first crank , check fuel pump assy for inability to hold fuel pressure .
Rpm values seem almost normal , 900 is rather high, a history of manual adjustments to throttle body or throttle pedal could cause abnormal readings like this , also air intake leaks could cause same.
Finally the big one.
P0500, I was really hoping it was an abs related code but it is not.
What you have is a slipping transmission. Start be draining your transmission oil and outing fresh oil (Toyota TIV) and hope for the best.
Piyke: I should be switching accommodation and plan to get a small toolshed in the backyard. Between 3.5 - 5sqm should be good and it has to be a portable unit or at least not made of brick and motar.
I already got some discouraging quotes from those guys that fabricate container homes... 1.4M for the tiny size I described.
Any ideas?
Gradually your calling is revealing it's self. Next you go de find warehouse for the real deal.

Raphael007: Please gurus I am in serious shit with my Lexus, it’s my first car and I am serious learning forgive me if you are seeing my ish every time here am sorry please help a brother out again. I serviced my car Around April 2 and I used the very first oil I used when I first serviced it w5-30 castrol oil mangnetic but yesterday I got this check so I went back to [b]my mechanic [/b]and I did another round of oil service with the air filter but after the service I still got this check so I am confused.
bastien: thank you sir for your swift response, yes all cannot be bad at the same time the left and right are bad the rear windshield light is the only one working and that’s what the cars at my back sees when I apply brake which I’m not really comfortable with.
bastien: Good morning boss my Camry 09 back light doesn’t come on, if I apply brake none of the light comes on but at night if I put the full headlight on the right side of the back and parking light comes on. Took it to mechanic (rewire) he check and said my back light led is dead I should buy a new back light!
Please boss any advise ?
There are 3 brake indicators on your vehicle , left right and center(rear windshield) they all cannot be bad at same time. Pls seek a 2nd opinion .
My suggestion is a brake switch, but I might be wrong since your vehicle is able to shift from park to drive (might have been bypassed)
ultiabaz36: Good day my people, please your advise is needed. I am in my 30s and I came into this relationship this year January. I like and I love this babe so much but she’s always demanding financially despite being a working class and I am only surviving on 45k job here in lagos. I have target and ambition for my life and everything is placed on this my job. So, I have a proportion of my income to be saved for this my ambition but since I met this girl, I never have anything called savings again while I still go on borrowing to satisfy her needs.
The most painful part of it all is that anytime she asks of anything and I’m not capable of what she asked for, she will first block me on Whatsapp and drop a breakup message. I will be the one to call and persuade her and when she feels like to unblock me she will do that.
But now, she’s asking for salah cloth and I don’t have the amount she’s asking for. I told her I don’t have the money for now while I told her that I don’t know what tomorrow will say and as soon as I said this, she dropped the breakup message as usual and block me on WhatsApp.
Please Advise me on what to do as this is getting on my nerves.
Hustle o! Go and hustle , when you get money, then you can be blocking who you don't like, you are not in a relationship at the moment, nah pay as you go, subscription don expire
Androidking: I have browsed everything and d final answers I could get online was over-drive and TurborCharger, I don't know why people laugh at that please u can browse it it's in almost in a every car and when it I take it to mechanic band explain this to them they hardly give me good reasons, but seriously overtaking is a real problem here.
I forgot to mention if I am climbing on an inclined surface , not hill just normal express way buy inclined upwards , my speed meter will climb at 40 mPH and stop until I am off to level ground, not like befor
We checked the coils 4 of them all good . Changed new plugs all good .
Still speed up a tiny hill from 0MPH IT will rise to 40MPH and then be still den steady at 40 and start increasing when am off to level ground.
Even if am at 50MPH and above immediately I entered an inclined express way it will be dropping gradually and be steady at 40MPH .
