MalcomXY: Hi Gazzuz,
I want to pick a Tokunbo/Nigerian used car, considering the models Lexus 330 2005, Highlander 2005 or RAV4 2008.
Are there known issues with these models i should look out for in making a choice.
regards. Major issues I notice when inspecting nigerian used vehicles is abuse.
Wrong oil types used over long period of time.
wrong electrical connections
water in reservoirs and radiators instead of coolant.
patched exhaust systems, instead of replacement.
Try and buy straight from owner, and not dealer. they can answer the question on servicing history.
Dealer is just interested In a sale.
For the rav4 if you hear and suspension noises going over rough surfaces, it is most likely the steering rack.
also check the A/C system, if it is the factory compressor is still installed.
For the RX330 ensure you scan to be sure its still using the specified Gearbox and has not been swapped with a 10pin
also check for the a/c compressor type.
Both cars should come with variable displacement compressors.

freshvine: They may be right. I once took my camry to a filling station, the attendant drove it to their drain pot, had oil drained from under the vehicle and refilled with their own oil I bought. The said oil is filled into a cylinder kinda pump can and pump into the bay using vacuum air generated pressure.
They called it axle oil is ur camry manual? |

sultan003: wait! so how much is the transmission 10pin for 2az? 50k? when you buy and engine complete with transmission, its cheaper than getting just an engine or just a transmission.
but if you need the tranmission only, you can get it for 80k |

Conner44: I changed the steering beam of the car yesterday and now my horn doesn't sound anytime I depress the steering although other buttons like cruise and radio buttons work 
kazeem claims he didn't spoil it but electrician says he did. Now I'm being told that I would change the part that controls the whole steering wheel buttons or he would construct an external horn for me like those danfo type 
Isn't there a way to work on this particular one? Because only the horn spoilt must I change everything?
Now I'm joining two wires dangerously while driving to horn I told electro to leave it for me like that first say money no dey let me add to your worries. your vehicle presently steers more to one side than the other. |

Front suspension work.
been driving it for a while, but noticed excessive bounce from the front right wheel.
Culprit is the front strut.
will be replacing with a pair of KYB made in japan.

damuseron: Hi Honda gurus,
I drive Honda Accord 2006. Lately, My mechanic advised me to change my arms due to some sound I was hearing while turning especially turning right. He did change the arms and the sound kind of stopped them came back again this time like linkages sound. He checked and checked and said the arms are fine. But I still hear some sound, only for him to say that I have a cracked beam under the engine at the front causing the sound I hear.
Can this be true, please advise.
Thank you you have phone that has camera, give him to snap the crack and post it here. |

Lexit: Nairalanders please come to my help. My Toyota Rav 4 2007 model had alternator issue days ago, which required I take it for repair. When it was time to fix it back, the guy fixing it made a mistake in the wires connecting the alternator's socket . The battery charges again but would drain after parking it for some minutes. When I took it to an electrician (rewire) he complained about the spark on the battery saying it was too much. He tried checking the cause of the battery drain by checking all the fuses in the car with no solution. When it was getting to night time yesterday, he asked me to go with the car and return today. We managed start the car and on my way going back home, the car went off on the motion. I tried starting it; it cranked but not coming up till my battery drained off again. I looked for another electrician this morning to help look into the situation. The guy checked the plug, fuel supply and other things that might make it start. Later on he discovered that the CHECK ENGINE light, which should come up with other lights on the dashboard when the ignition is turned on does not show. He then concluded that the brain box is bad. According to him, if the check light engine does not show with other lights on the dashboard when the ignition is turned on, the car cannot start. He already removed the brain box but I am finding it difficult to believe it is the culprit.
Any one with an idea of what could be wrong with my car? cc: honmusa, nurey, gaz.zuzz the connections on the car were nothing close to what is specified above. car came looking like this.
