Do you intend to respray the car? I think that info is critical to choice of wheels.
If you intend to maintain current color the black wheels with chrome linings will make sense.

fijabs:
Good morning house, I need your advice, my car is bringing out white smoke and jerking after my mechanic grinded the valve and ring the engine, I was advised to change the engine cos I am using the car for E hailing business , this is my first car, Matrix 2003 model, if there is a genuine seller pls indicate, also if there is another solution without changing the engine pls advice me, cos when I priced the engine I was told is 200 thousand naira.and I don't have money, I am thinking of borrowing from friends and family.

In that order...

You may end up spending twice the value of the car by the time you are done.

Depends on how much landed the car

Please don't mind my English..

I will like to keep my identity because of my safety, I am from Oyo state (Ibadan) and i am having my NYSC service in Asaba.

I got a call last week Friday around 11:43am from my PPA principal asking me why i haven't report and i told her that i will be in Asaba this weekend.

I did fulfil my promise by going this Saturday (5 sept) to cut the story short when we reach Ore Benin road (6pm), this husky black Mopol officer stop our Toyota Siena car (public transport), he ask us to get down and he approach me remove your ear phone mister man in which i did and ask me what do i do for living? and i answered with a friendly smile sir Am a youth corps, then he reply me "Really" where is your ID card and i show him and he jokingly reply me u be Yoruba boy and i said yes Sir.

Then he ask for my phone, that's when i knew something is not okay, I actually gave him my phone and he kept on searching through my what'sapp message, Inbox and pic gallery. The next thing i will hear is Mr man move to that side (my heartbeat was already running madly) he ask me why can i have 85k in my account, Why am i using 2 what'sapp account. The next thing he started calling me names you this lazy yahoo boys, god catch u today, krokor dey ur yansh this time.

I beg him to let me go that am not a yahoo boy but all my plead fall into zero then he start to threaten me that he will hand me over to EFCC then he remove his handcuff and I plead to him multiple times then his colleagues came to me which i thought he want to help me beg him only for him to say "oh boy u sef do normal and water him flower" to my surprise one those boys selling gala and drinks came to us and brought out a POS machine and this stupid Mopol force me to transfer 80k then he release me but the strange thing is that these police officers are not with their tags to reveal their names and numbers and they kept calling eachother in nicknames like scorpion, Rambo they only wear that Mopol polo shirt and carry AK 47 rifles.

The painful part of my ordeal is that the 85k is my only savings.....I know that the Lord am serving will surely punish them....Police is not your friend o

Hi Gazzuzz,
I got a car last month. Nigerian used. Toyota camry 2009 xle.
Since yesterday, alarm keeps going off once I lock the door. Also I noticed the dashboard showing check vsc system, and hood is open.

Kindly advise.

dkronik:
Few weeks back when my mechanic serviced my throttle body, as i was driving I noticed the rev was increasing on its own and the car accelerated without me stepping on the pedal. I had to drive back to his shop with my foot stuck on the brake. He opened it and said the throttle was damaged just like that cos the butterfly was stuck open. He had to gum a piece of paper to the inner floor of the throttle body for the automatic acceleration to stop. What do you think about this Sir?

Most if not all African economies fall victim to the IMF because their sources of income have problems.....

First, most African countries rely on selling raw materials and commodities to the global market

Second we use the income from the sales to import goods and services, including some that we can produce on our own at a value that is higher than our income

Third , we don't control the price of the raw materials we sell. Prices of crude oil are determined in London and New York

Fourth, we spend billions on subsides and other socialist welfarist projects which end up costing more than we estimated because of our growing population and low tax base

Fifth, we tolerate corruption, both at the low and also by the big men and women. And most of the money stolen comes from loans taken

All these puts us into deficit and into the hands of the IMF and the world Bank.

Nigeria is a classic example.

We could be free.from the IMF, but because it involves fighting corruption seriously.and cutting subsides seriously, and becoming an industrial economy which means an initial period of hardship, we refuse to take those routes.

Hello Gazzuzz and other auto chiefs in the house. PLEASE, HELP ME OUTTA THIS SITUATION.

I bought a fairly-used Toyota Corolla 2006 model in June. Had no issues whatsoever until mid-July, I noticed my car jerks when accelerating. After a few days, I noticed it jerked when shifting gears. My mechanic has changed ATF, serviced the transmission, changed fuel pump, services fuel injectors, nozzles, cleaned everything cleanable...No change.

I decided to leave it be and ignore the jerks until a new one started - rough idling. The engine vibrates for a few seconds when idle and sometimes when accelerating. I went back to him and told him the jerks were also still there. A scan was placed there, the scanning guy said the brain box wasn't in order, he requested I change the brain box. Did that on Friday at Ladipo, drove down to my house at Agbado, engine still trembles while idle but jerks seemed to stop.

Just drove my car this evening and all the jerks have started again...

Please help!!! I've spent so much and tired of these mechanics.

Hello @Gazzuzz,
After replacing the engine mounts on my 03 corolla and reinstalled the battery engine started and went off immediately. After much effort the engine was running but stalling and the rev was not stable. Whenever my windows are down I get this harsh and pepperish kinda smell from the exhaust. On idle, the engine jerks and stalls then goes off. Even after one mechanic increased the engine fire, after driving around the power goes back down. Did a scan yesterday and the following codes came up, kindly tell me what to do;
P0300
P0301
P0302
P0303
P0304
P0171
P0100
P0110
P1349

Thanks Oga Gazzuzz, initially my condenser has leak, after Rafiu technician did the repair and fix, I started noticing this problem. This morning I discovered that my Radiator fan comes immediately I put ON the car even without starting the engine and the AC line start freezing.
Can it be an electrical fault?

kambili999:
I just hope this whole saga is put to an end.


I can't really understand what these Ghanaians have against us

phadriz:
Good morning the gurus in the house.
I discovered that my Honda Accord 2009 A.C stop cooling after putting it on for sometime but it's working, what I noticed is that the pipes outside are freezing while the vent inside the car is bringing out cold smoke as if you open freezer.

Please what could be the cause and possible solution.
