Good morning Sir Gazzuzz. Please my Question is when a Car is converted from right to left hand drive. Will that have any side effect on its performances.

car gurus, I noticed that in my Honda accord EOD 05 model, the speedometer moves erratically, the gearbox when in motion changes roughly, both on high speed and low speed, I diagnosed it, but got no codes, I feel it's the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) that's the culprit, my problem here is locating the speed sensor, but, wetin I know, car gurus in the house, kindly show me d location of d speed sensors, and if you have other solutions to this issue, I will be happy if you can tell me.

Hello Gazzuzz,

A friend of mine is torn between buying
Toyota Corolla 06 Naija used
Toyota Camry 05 Tokunbo
Toyota Bank Corolla 07 Naija Used

He wants a sound, economical and durable car that he can easily resell anytime. He plans to run uber with it on his free days to make small money... He likes the idea of a tokunbo, because he believes he'll get real value for His money, but he's considering resellability and fuel economy cos of the Uber side hustle.

What do you think?

Thanks for the kind words chief Gazzuzz. I believe in the principles of fairness cos i know im at fault.

Im the person that bidded 1950 for the 09 corrolla you advertized last year November but we couldn't agree on the price. Had to settle for a 09 accord and you recently fixed the AC of the car last month. The AC is working very fine and I'll bring it for checkups as requested.

Controlv:
I learnt the benefits of comprehensive insurance in a very harsh way.

I used to think there is no need for me to insure my car comprehensively, since the current market value of my 04 accord is less than 1m, until last year October when I crashed into a parked 07 corolla and Lexus ES350.

I had to cough out 1m to settle the owner of the 04 corolla withing 1 week, spent 125k to fix the Lexus (owner was kind enough to contribute 40k of the repair bill) and 320k to fix my car.

The 07 corolla was damaged beyond repair and I had to sell it as is for 350k.

I informed the insurance company where i took the mandatory 3rd party insurance, i submitted incident report and repair estimate of 1.2m for the 2 cars. The investigation was concluded withing 2 weeks and they agreed to pay 732k.

It took 3 months of rigorous follow up before i get paid.

Would the case have been different if i had comprehensive insurance? YES!

1. I wouldn't have been under pressure to pay the 3rd party withing 1 week.

2. The amount sepnt to repair my car would have been paid my my insurance company.

3. I wouldn't have wasted so much energy to pursue claims. I had to visit the insurance company's office on a weekly basis for 3 months before i got paid. It would have been worse if i reside outside Lagos.

I have insured my 2 cars comprehensively with Mansard after that incident and i also advise my folks to do the same. If you can afford a car, you must be able to afford comprehensive insurance.

Just last week, on my way from Ibadan to Lagos, a 2012 Hyundai Accent had its tyre burst on Ibadan Lagos expressway and crashed into the culvet. I was among the people that parked to smypathize with the owner and I asked whether he had insurance, he had only 3rd party.

The summary of my epistle is: if you can afford a car, you should insure your car comprehensively.

pls, what car can you recommend for a first time driver? I am planning to get a Nigeria used car because of my low budget but I don't really know which one to go for... I want something that can be easily maintained and low fuel consumption

Chechem:

Bizzyliss:
radiator is bad and i changed it but still over heating

eDriiz:
No it doesnt start easily. It actually started and ran on idle yesterday but after putting water in d radiator it refused to start again.

4llerbuntu:
Please i still need help with my AC.

it still works at random. and works just fine when it works


When it stops working apparently the diagnosis is: the compressor is not getting power, but the relay and fuses are ok.

Went to change the AC switch panel on the dash and the guy was honest enough to tell me he didn't think there's anything wrong with the one i have there at the moment

he then removed the relay and stuck a wire into the slots, and the compressor starts. he said the Relay is fine which is really confusing......




also watched another stick a long screwdriver down to push the AC Clutch and it started. that one said the AC clutch needs to be 'serviced' whatever that means. Doesn't add up for me because like i said the system does work fine when it works.....



I just need to know precisely what needs to be fixed. Thus far no one seems to be sure. Haven't let anyone touch anything though. Not a big fan of guesswork.


Please help, who has an idea why this is....... mosbus gazzuzz radautoworks autologic

quote]Hello sir! There's this 03 avalon 3.0 L. I'm using atm. NO CEL. Last week I filled the tank to brim and zeroed my odometer and got only 193 miles out of it till the fuel Guage turned red.
Two days ago I bought fuel of 2k/13 litres and on my dashboard it showed 38miles, but my odometer only read 18miles till fuel Guage turned red.
Problem iv noticed is that the fuel mileage reading on my dashboard drops faster than anything. From 38 miles it will drop to 30miles, from 30 to 24, 20, 15, 10, 5 and the next thing is 0 mileage but my odometer will be accurate to record for me like only 18miles and my fuel Guage turns red again.
Could it be that the fuel is pouring away somewhere cos I frequent filling station every now and then because the fuel Guage drops so fast.
Mileage is 250k miles, car is problem free, right fluids are being used on vehicle.
Please any suggestion/solution for this?

I drive on a free way. No traffic sir.

Hello all, so I was watching a live auction yesterday and I saw this car deal which appears cheap. Its the highlighted Corolla in the image below.

www.nairaland.com/attachments/9099895_screenshot20190401164622882com_iaai_android_pngc866c173361a67d8392a3b9f082ad149

So, it was bought for $550 before charges and taxes, putting charges at $200, it sums up to $750, if trucking forklift and other expenses amount to $1500, so with about the $2300 as an approximate the car will be at Tincan port.

The above cost is just a guess and not a certainty.

Which buyer here will pick this car for personal use?

0taPiaPia:
Please does comprehensive insurance cover engine change. My crank shaft just cut as I was driving and broke the engine block and the mechanic said I have to change it. I insured with Aiico. Thanks
