Car Talk › Re: My Car Refusing To Accelerate Beyond 80km/hr (camry Tiny Light) by GAZZUZZ(m): 3:21pm On Apr 29, 2017 |
BOLAUWA: Greetings gurus. Pls recently my car (toyota camry pencil light automatic) broke down and refused to move. On putting it on drive or reverse, it makes a clanking sound. my mechanic said it was the gearbox, which I changed immediately. But after changing the gearbox, I have noticed the car refuses to accelerate beyond 80km /hr. I was told to clean d gearbox filter which I have done bt no improvement. Wat could be the problem? Ur advice really needed. your query is very vague. The engine gives power to the transmission which moves the car. Try and relate what the issue is, is it a lack of power from the engine? Wrong gear ratios form the transmission? Slipping from the friction plates? |

makavele: That's the irony of it . . . In purchase; you have a guarantee that you are purchasing a non-faulty engine. In rebuild, you are at the mercy of future problems that will start creeping in after the rebuild If the engine is from the USA you can run the vin found on the vintag which is placed on the engine. I have done it a lot of times. It gives you a better idea of how the engine found its way into the market. |

Car Talk › Re: How My Car Was Wrecked Due The Carelessness Of A Police Officer. Advice Please! by GAZZUZZ(m): 9:25am On Apr 29, 2017 |
The law states that every vehicle should have a minimum of a 3rd party insurance. Are u insured? Check the plates of the truck and run them on this site. http://www.askniid.org/checkpolicy.aspx
It's a 5year jail term for driving without insurance.
Get a lawyer, and he will guide you thru. Going to court will not be very helpful short term, because you will be left without a vehicle and there will be numerous adjournments, what you need is to hold a few people by the balls, namely the police officer and the truck driver/owner.
Good luck

linktel: Dear Gazzuz....thanks for your assistance thus far....the Hyundai Elantra 08 is an interference engine and also uses a timimg belt...that scares me...cos any snap of the belts,the engine is destroyed. typical african mentality!
Replace timing belt every 70,000km along with tensioner and car will never snap a timing belt
It will take you about 4years to cover 70,000km. |

I suspect half-truths from your Mech. Thanks again to Gazzuzz for the encouragement to rebuild my engine.... Luvinhubby... Ironheart and co. It was a very exciting endeavour. smellingmenses: With new ones? Engine purchase is mostly black market. In rebuild you know what exactly you are putting together. You are still in the test phase. Cover 5,000km first before you start praising ur mechanic. |

rawe45: Boss, My 08 Honda accord engine broke down few days ago, it won't start anymore. Towed it to my mechanic's workshop and after working on the engine he said I'd have to buy a new engine because the crankshaft and the crane shaft are already bad. (don't know what this means though). Earlier today someone suggested rebuilding it instead of going for a new one. Please what can you advise I do?. (Location = Akure) Replace engine |

gowaga68: I totally don't get this . Captured since December and hanging on with Temporal Driving Licence. Biko, when am I getting the original? Note to anyone in need of Driver Licence make sure to ask when the original will be out. So as to save your self some stress. any one who gives you a specific answer is not telling the truth, I did mine in dec, I have extended my temporary twice, and will continue to do so until the license is ready. FRSC is to blame, they are slow in printing out the originals. |

bigsecsyde: Oga Gazzuzz, The check engine light started blinking today and my car won't accelerate very well. What could be the cause sir and probable solution. It's a 2008 Accord. Blinking signal is a misfire in 1 or more cylinders.
Check spark plugs, coils, injectors, fuel pressure. In more sever cases check cylinder compression |

Addegbuyi: How much do you get the gas now compared to petrol. i will still say that petrol is far better in every ramification. Coupled with the factit elongates the life span of any engine using it. CNG burns cleaner, better for engine lifespan. |
Car Talk › Re: Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) A Best Alternative To Petrol by GAZZUZZ(m): 8:30am On Apr 27, 2017 |
pacino26: Truly it will reduce drastically the demand for forex used in importing pms and Co. The issue here is that govt of the day isn't willing to promote the idea. More so the current operators if CNG is trying to make it look like one Elite car club. I'll blame it on their unwillingness to actually set up shop across Nigeria. If it's not Lagos, then forget it.
Anyways, I think I'll have to convert my two trucks 
Op na how much sef  I used to use CNG on my generator, until GOV decided to double the price of Gas, I jejely reverted to petrol. Until The govt removes it's hands from the oil sector completely, we will never have fair prices |
