Hello Gurus in the house. I am having a major issue with my car, a 2005 Toyota Camry. Just noticed that the 2nd ignition coil isn't receiving any current from the socket. I have changed spark plugs, changed coils and even had a rewire inspect if there is any electrical problem with the wiring somewhere. He has checked and didn't notice any, so he advised I change the cars brain box. Pls can this help solve the problem if done

Just thought that maybe if you had a plug in Lag, it can be shipped to you in the east max 3k still. You still have 7k to yourself, deduct labour from it and keep the change. In M.I's voice "Money slow to enter quick to go."

I had to pay o. Cos hotel billing nor be here. Make I just fit reach town go sleep my cousin side. Now the continued story. They brought the pump, fixed it and na so my steering still hard o. Omo out of frustration, I had to come to an agreement with the mechanic to manage it to my destination ND come back the next day for a fix. My rider's load was still in the car. So I was able to manage it to destination and later discovered that even my water for radiator don dey leak. Problem number 2, I have to fix the radiator (bought a brand new double cell) first here in town before I can take the car back for the steering pump to be changed. The past few days have been hectic. Make God dey help him son

So sorry for you troubles nwanne grin. Some days are like that.

But correct me if I'm wrong. If you are leaving Lagos from Ikorodu, you have no business with Epe.

The normal route should be Ikorodu-Sagamu road(Laspotech) till you burst out at that flyover at Sagamu.

Maybe I'm wrong sha.

It was from that end we travelled. And the epe route is smooth and probably faster. The sagamu route is very rough

But the belt may have been giving u signs and wonders. Either by 'whistle' sound or 'fififi' sound grin
Abi u dey pour the belt water?

Na orji River o. Enrouting Enugu from onitsha. I think if u want a perfect car ehn, u have to be ur own mechanic, carwash, rewire, vulcanizer. Like be everything. Cos I remember say I was my radiator last week too. So I won't be surprised if them don baff my belt too. It is well o

Part 2
We got the exact belt type and took a bike again to the express where my car was parked with my rider inside. This guy came to fix belt o. And in the process spoilt my power steering pump as he was trying to forcefully put the belt onto the alternator pulley. Omo na so my power steering fluid empty o. Chai I weak. From frypan to fire. I had to arrange for a towing vehicle to tow it to the mechanic village o atleast for safety. My rider checked himself into a hotel(cos it was already too late) after yelling and regretting embarking on the journey . Not that he was angry with me o. I think he felt it was happening because of him. Me I gats sleep inside my car for mechanic village o. Man don suffer today. Now no movement in the east tommorow. So before we can do anything to that car, it has to be on Tuesday. The thing dey pain me as I dey type sef

Today na one of those days my car decide to show me pepper and pour sand for my garri. I took an offline trip from Lagos(ikorodu) to Enugu. For those that are familiar with the route knows the trip is about 10-12hrs. Na so I start this morning @ 5am o. I stepped on my gas pedal. Vooom! Itokin-Epe-ijebuode-ore-benin bypass- agbor-asaba-onitsha. As I enter Enugu onitsha expressway about 50mims to my destination, I my steering suddenly went hard o. Battery light came on. At first I thought it was my alternator. As I park and checked, behold my serpentine belt don cut for inside bush o. Mogbe! .... I had to take a bike to the nearest surbub for a mechanic in a supposed mechanic village o. We went and bought the belt together

This is not true. Infact most times both front and back have designs. Below is one I did 3years ago for less than 35k. Pardon the paint stain on it. They just finished painting

Careful sir. Before you go about looking for what’s not missing, #5000 fuel is about 35 litres.

MMA to Bodija is about 125km, Bodija to Ojota is about 132km.
Ojota to Ikorodu around 18km....do the maths. Factor in traffic and AC.

Noted sir. Especially that "finding what's not missing"

Could u have made that in lagos today? And if your car doesn't gulp fuel, you should be having about 2k worth of fuel after arriving lagos from the 5500 fuel you bought to and fro.

Chief, u won't blame the car o. The distance I covered too is equivalent. Came into Lagos through Ojota, then had to start another journey heading towards Adamo area of ikorodu. You can visualize my pain abi?
