Unionised: Hello all, take a look at my mechanic's quote for parts for my Rav4 2003 version.
Shocks absorber 40k, stab linkage 14k, stabilizer rod 18k, ball joint 25k
Can you confirm these prices for me?
Also, what could cause a stabilizer rod to break into two. This has happened twice to my car.
Cc kingreign Cc lomomike Cc Gazzuzz Cc siena Cc ikenna351 There are OEM and after market parts, there are after market that are crap and after market that will last as long as oem e.g (Kyb struts) provide brand names and origin of parts, and I might be able to give you a price list. |

Autos › Re: Apply And Get Your Original Drivers License/Vehicle Registration (NO STRESS)! by GAZZUZZ(m): 7:06pm On Jan 25, 2016 |
Civory: I just must share this for all those passing through stress acquiring driver's license and car registration.
I just bought a car and needed a quick reliable and trustworthy way of going about my driver's license and car registration. A friend of mine introduced me to a female OFFICER in LAGOS STATE MOTOR VEHICLE ADMINISTRATION AGENCY (M.V.A.A.) And within 24hours - you won't believe it - just 24hours, I got my licenses.
The good part is that I didn't have to pay until my licenses where delivered. The officer did this just to prove she isn't a scam.
So I thought since there are still trust worthy Nigerians like her who deliver on promises why don't I share my experience so others too can benefit from her.
If you are interested here are her contacts for enquiries: 08186002495, 07035747751, whatsapp: 08023138853. |

Mueeze: Hi all,
I have a 2000 model Toyota corolla, I recently started hearing a scraping sound from the engine bay when I accelerate. The sound comes up only when the speed of the car is below 60km/hr. What could be the cause.?
Also, I have never changed the ATF and Brake Oil since I bought the car as Tokunbo and it is almost 3 years now. Should I go ahead and change it? what is a scraping sound? On car talk we have the legendary "kpom" sound, we have the "kpokom" sound. Please feel free to describe yours. (is it the kla,kla, kla kla sound?) |

Ziggyzito: Ikenna35 & gazzuz,kindly help me out. I've got a 2005 Peugeot 406 that's got two temperature gauges....the one on the left rises as high as 140 degrees after driving the car for about 2 hours... What's the function of this particular gauge? Coz the one on the right indicates the engine's temperature...photo attached below. right, coolant temp gauge, left engine oil temp gauge. |

Siena: [color=Blue]Not strictly true.
If you keep your foot on the brake pedal on heated rotors (after heavy use), the pad contact areas will cool at a different rate to the rest of the rotor. This is what causes them to warp.
In summary, the differences in heat dissipation at different points on the rotor's surfaces causes warping. Driving the car hard, and braking often WILL get the rotors hot, BUT as long as the pads are not clamped in the same spot for prolonged periods, cooling will be uniform.[/color] I have learnt somthing new. |

Car Talk › Re: My First V6 ....pure Joy by GAZZUZZ(m): 3:51pm On Jan 24, 2016 |
nurey: hehe all I need is a turbo charged Kia optima or hyundai sonata, the 2.0T will embarrass your V6 EOD or DC and make a mess of the situation, it's a 4 banger with 270hp to deal with competition.
I have driven the 2006 DC 4 cylinder, an impressive performer and better than the 07-12 4cylinder camry.
Am not really a fan of saloon cars anymore and I don't care about acceleration but speed. I am a fan of good design and I love intimidating rides (04-12 Infiniti Qx56, ford expedition/lincoln navigator/escalade).
My dream V6 now is a 3.5L V6 powered Nissan maxima or Altima with manual gear, double exhaust, once it's manual, I don't care what engine you packing (excluding the lambos and ferrari) even if nah ford mustang or chevy camaro, I will give you race + chase you will never forget soon.
#Team-no-risk-no-reward# nah so ford transit 1989 bust your nissan primera engine.  |

Car Talk › Re: Help!!! Fuel Pump Wire Tired With Waterproof by GAZZUZZ(m): 1:27pm On Jan 24, 2016 |
ithere are better ways of insulating wires that go into a fuel tank, unfortunately you were stranded on the road, and had were out of options. Using black tape is a stupid idea, because it will not hold in petrol, what you have at the moment will not melt, and will insulate the positive and negative terminals. I do not approve of it, but if the wires are joined properly, it will serve. (if the wires are not joined properly, there will be partial contact which will lead to stalling and possibly a breakdown. Best bet will be to buy the entire fuel pump with case since your present one has been compromised. |
