DMechy: Like gazuzz advised, replace transmission and save yourself the headache.
40% of the time, transmission repair ends with spanners flying around and someone getting locked up.
It is doable, can you be patient enough with the repair guy to change another sets of fiber or valve body that will make the vehicle sharper than it was from the last repair. Or will you be able to accept that the transmission is better off than you brought it. At least e dey reach gear 3, na 4 and 5 e no select. Before, only gear 1 dey select. So oga drive am, it will improve, the oil needs to circulate.
gwealthjnr: So my less than 1yr Lexus es330 (tokunbo) recently started jerking and accelerating not correctly, you’d hear the sound of the car firing, without it moving accordingly. One time, it literally stopped and didn’t move while I was still gassing. Took it to the Mechanic and it read an error code, saying faulty pressure control transmission solenoid . I’m actually more than bothered right now about whether it’s a not so serious and fixable problem. My mechanic introduced me to someone who says he can fix it, in my mechanics words, the supposed guy should be able to fix it. I want expert opinion on this whole issue please. Gazzuzz and the rest of the gurus in the house, please help a brother
OutOnBail: It's a naija used car. But I guess they've worked on the timing before cos the car is low on power, sluggish. Mechanic says timing isn't set well most likely
At this point, i wouldadvice you not to be in a hurry to return your car’s cooling system back to factory settings with the previous disassembled engine and no history of work done on your engine, it would be unwise to return its settings back to normal. First off do an assessment of the type of Gasket you have installed between the head cylinder and the block.
if youll you have a paper or a graphite head gasket, there’s a slim possibility that the car has suffered overheating in the past and was poorly put together. Graphite is mailable and could easily be used when trying to solve over heating issues without necessarily reconditioning the head but in a case like this When you restore your settings back to normal, you risk blowing your head gasket again because itsposs the last technician didnt do a proper resurfacing of the head cylinder.
So for now just replace the radiator, do your inspections and get back to me.
OutOnBail: I intend reverting the cooling system of 08 Accord. Came with double cell radiator, thermostat removed, Fans connected directly and I top it up with water like every 2 days, I see water drip from the around the cap and hose leading to the reservoir which I intend changing.
Kindly advice if I should replace radiator when doing the revert. How much is double cell currently?
ssppen: Good day eng gazzuzz hay holidays. 2007 toyota camry 4 cylinders, suddenly showed abs and brake lights on dashboard after driving. Rpm pointer also erratically oscillates. Scan brought no error code and brake fluid level normal. Kindly help sir. thanks for your time.
HottieCoach: Due to popular demand for original vehicle parts that are unavailable locally, I am opening up this service.
How will this service work?
It's quite simple .
Contact me on WhatsApp +234 908 322 4217 with your requirements include part numbers or specifics description of part. You can also provide me with links to the parts that you have already found and want shipped down e.g https://www.ebay.com/c/13014957013
EXAMPLE
water pump required for a 2gr-fe engine that fits in a Lexus rx350 2007.
Or
Part number 16100-09442
Both descriptions actually mean same thing.
We would search for available options and present to you ranging from OEM parts to quality aftermarket parts along with the sites we would buy them from (Amazon , eBay etc) at their displayed prices. We would then charge a resonable fee for shipping and delivery to lagos Nigeria , and and extra charge to your doorstep .
Used Parts.
Parts like ECUs, and vehicle sensors and small body parts that can be found easily online will are also eligible for purchase, at this point I will like to note that we will not offer any guarantees on used parts or new parts sourced. This is basically a purchase and delivery service.
PAYMENT AND SECURITY OF FUNDS.
There's a lot of online fraud these days and I know most users will not want to have transactions with new profile names that cannot be vouched for. To limit doubt and boost customer confidence, the well known moniker Gazzuzz https://www.nairaland.com/gazzuzz has offered to come on as an Escrow service on preorder transactions until trust with the nairaland community is built.
We will require 80per upfront payment for parts purchased, and the balance not latter than 1week after arrival.
Parts will usually arrive in 2-3weeks when shipping from the USA. (Air freight) other countries will take longer as they will be shipped to the USA first. Also express shipping can be arranged but will cost more.
Kindly Note You will also incur storage fees of ₦500 per day after 7days of parts arriving without paying up the balance.
I will be updating this thread with parts that have been ordered for and when they arrive on Nigerian soil. Customer info will not be posted as client confidentiality is important to us.
When we notice a frequency of specific parts being sort after we will place orders for larger volumes and place adverts for them so you do not have to wait 2-3weeks. It's a growing business and I'm certain it will be a win win for all parties.
Thanks once again, and hope to hear from you soon.

Please sir, I drive a Toyota Avalon 2004. There is this blowing (misfiring) sound everytime I tried to accelerate. I have changed all my coils, plugs, fuel pump and still the sound is still there. Picking up from rest is hard like something is trying to choke it.before it picks up.. What can possibly be the cause sir or any idea what it might be??
kala111: My Corolla 05 makes a knocking sound when I put on the ignition with the engine oil light on . It goes off when throttle down and sound normal.
Also, the engine oil light blinks when car is idle or while braking mostly when the engine is warm and must have work for several minutes or hour.
I have just charged the oil pump thinking that was the culprit but the problem still persist.
What could have gone wrong pls expert in the house?
I drive a Honda City "07, bought in February, 2021 as a Nigerian used car. Truth be said, I have never enjoyed the car one bit - it's problem-ridden. I have spent so much going in and out of mechanical workshops. Now the car overheats like hell, engine vibrates like earthquake sites, the electrical..., etc.. I need help.
Can't use it for what I bought it for and it's so annoying. My major concern right now is how to overcome the overheating.
Thanks already!
Basic principle for checking overheating in this vehicle is very easy
1. Check air flow direction from cooling fans, and correct if wrong.
2. Check radiator is free from internal blockage and restriction of coolant flow. Replace with brand new unit if defective.
3. Check if thermostat is stuck closed and replace if defective
4. Check that water pump gives proper flow of coolant and is not leaking . You can inspect the blades if in doubt .
5. Ensure head gasket is not damaged and combustion finding its way into the cooling system. Replace headgasket if that is the issue .
Honda city if abused can be a nightmare you will never wake up from, when in good shape it's one of the most efficient vehicles I have ever used (2008-2013)
