Hi everyone, I use a 2003 Toyota corolla. Anytime I engage reverse there is this banging sound, I've changed the engine mount, shaft cup and bearing then it became fair for sometimes and started again and I've been using it like that since then. Yesterday night when I engaged reverse it made the bang sound and car went off and refuse to start. I had to replace the starting fuse and start the car again, if I put it on drive it will move well but if I put on reverse it will bang and trip off and cut the fuse as well. Experience engineers in the house Please what can be the culprit?

Start with having another mechanic checking the car, scanning the car, performing full careful inspection and diagnosis on the car.

I'm in a delimma right now,I have always been a smartphone enthusiast, and I know about almost every flagship phone on this planet

My last phone is iPhone 13 pro max and I currently have Xaomi 12 lite, I'm an android guy and I always ends up dumping iPhone anytime I use it , as an android guy I have always use Samsung from the start of using smartphone but I later lose interest in Samsung as well

But I always love all Xaomi phone I use , Even Xaomi 11t pro,Redmi 13 pro and 12 pro , Xaomi is not perfect as well but I'm always happy with one so I have decided to finally buy a top end Xaomi old flagship and try it as well, I'm sure I'll love it

The problem is I'm in osogbo and the phone is not available on osogbo only on Lagos

All my friend use iPhone and always see me as someone weird because I always have android phone around so when I told them I have 650k budget and I want to go to Lagos to get Xaomi 13 pro they said why I'm I troubling myself

But I can't see myself using Samsung or iPhone again, even pixel is not for me ,I only love Xaomi phone

I don't know if I'm doing something stupid by going all out to purchase the phone and continue to be an android guy,or just secumb to iPhone again

I'm someone who was never afraid to be different so this is not about peer pressure, it's more about if it worth the trouble of the trip to Lagos or I'm just about to do something stupid

Go to Lagos, get yourself that product you desire. Do NOT let your friends or public influence your decision or put you under any pressure of brand loyalty.

Firebox123:
why can't you sell it

And the buyer will get the battery

Moreover go to computer village the battery is available there

Don't trust any nairaland phone vendor to avoid being scammed

As if them no dey scam person for computer village. 🙄🙄
In a bid to help, you ended up insulting nairalanders who have worked hard to build their brands and a name for themselves over the years. Sad.

Fieryblaze:
The car is located in Ajah, Lagos.
I could be mistaken about the error code, I only glanced it from what the mechanic showed me. It could be UO426 like somebody pointed out here

Dm I have someone who may be of assistance to helping you fix the Drive authorization unit (TCM)

Good afternoon my ogas in the house.
I owned a 2004 Honda Crv and I experienced an overheating issue with the car last week. After the incident, I noticed water bubbles gushing out of the radiator.

I was advised to change the gasket, which I did, but the problem still persists even after the gasket replacement.
I complained to my mechanic and he suggested that I remove the thermostat and connect the fan directly to solve the issue.

Please, I would appreciate your advice and suggestions on what to do to solve this problem.

Where's your location?
If you can check for leak spots,, water pump and also bleed properly, you'd be able to solve this issue. You need a very good technician to help sort this issue

Fieryblaze:
Hi everyone, I have a 2015 Mercedes ML350. The car was working normally, then last night it just wouldn't engage gear, it just revved, called the mechanic and he came and said the sump seal was bad. We fixed the leakage, called someone to reset the EGS.

But here's the issue:
The car still wouldn't move unless the mechanic uses his scanner to force it by probably bypassing the EGS or something.

The error code is "UD426"

The mechanic is saying I need to replace the entire EGS but I don't trust his judgement

Anyone here dealt with this before?
Please Help

Location of this car pls. Scan n post screenshots of result. I don't think there's any such code in mercedes benz fault code database.

ManAdii:
I didn't see a good one to buy. I saw this one and it's neat. No harm is trying Japanese.

What model and year of VW were you looking for?

mejai:
So far, the alternator has been reinstalled.
It was discovered that its original position was also blocked with a broken bolt. An improvise was made and it wasn't done well, it was inclined. And it kept breaking.

Now everything has been arranged. Hoping for the best.

It's fine.

mejai:
The driller couldn't come today but tomorrow. Another spot near the damaged part will be drilled open. According to the mechanic, a longer belt than the initial one will be installed due to the new position.
I pray it works 🙏

It should, but then, an aluminum smelter can redo the broken bit off.

Vianna:
Who can recommend a good car battery for toyota matrix 2004 and the price range...

Thanks a whole lot for your anticipated input.

Runnall 75ah, 66k

mejai:
Ok. I will insist they try it. The engine is on the ground already. Thanks

What's the update on this?

mejai:
The part marked red.

It can be redone by tuners or aluminum smelters /fabricators. Engine may need to be dropped.

mejai:
Biko can U give me a hint.... The mechanic claimed that the holder is made of brass not iron

Snap the defective part let's see

mejai:
Greetings Kingrein.
Please how do I go about fixing this?
2003 honda pilot: the alternator has 2 bolts connected to it. The down one (size 14), which goes into the engine block has damaged, after constant breaking of bolt and drilling the bolts out.

The last one happened yesterday and now, the part to tight it in on the engine is gone. They suggest I change the engine. Gambling to get only the engine block was not advised according to them.



What do you think?

You don't need to change the engine just yet, something can be done to repair that broken alternator holder.

HitmanDembele:
Yes it does

Check the sun roof funnel, drainage and gutter. It may be blocked. You need to have it cleared of any blockage.

If you're in Abuja, hit me up to fix it for you tomorrow.

Pls, i need help

My Lexux Rx 300 keep cutting Timing belt at a week of use on each belt

belt cuts like 5 times now

What could be the Problem

Thank You

Check your water pump, your idler tensioner, your camshaft and crankshaft pulley. Also use genuine OE BELT. Also, check if oil is leaking into the belt


If you're in Abuja, feel free to contact me to help you do these checks.

My cousin just told me last night that she just got raped on Sunday afternoon/evening (6th July, 2025).

I stay with them for now. She's 18, the first of two daughters and was still virgin (as far as I know). Her only [older] brother is in school.

She's been acting funny since on Sunday evening. She couldn't hold it in anymore and, since there is no one else she could actually confide in, she confided in me. Now she's begging me not to tell anyone and not to cause trouble. She only wants me to help her get a drug (if any) that will prevent pregnancy.

She told me about the man coming to see her in her mother's restaurant and said she was going to talk to the man about getting me a job, but when she went into his car, he forced himself on her.

Honestly I am angry right now! I am angry at three things:

First, I am angry at my family. I have a family where the children are afraid to open up, because if you do, you will be blamed and castigated upon. I understand her fear and apprehension about letting other people know, but I just can't let this go.

Secondly, I am angry at our society. How can a man confidently feels he can force himself on a lady and get away with it? What kind of society do we have?

Thirdly, I am angry at myself. I am angry because I feel helpless. I can't let this thing go. I have to deal with this man, but I don't know how to do it without putting my cousin in a difficult position. I have tried to let her know that it is not her fault and that the man needs to pay for this, but she's been begging me to just let it go. She only confided in me because she's really scared of getting pregnant.

According to her though, there was never any real penetration, but the man (who is a high ranking government official) actually "released" ON her, not IN her. (Does that even make sense?)
How can I handle this issue right now? For me, I am planning to go all out and let hell break loose and let the heavens fall if they have to.

The first step was to first report the case to a police station, then take your sister to hospital for PostPEP to prevent HIV and also carry out physical medical examinations on her to enable the police gather evidences.

Gibberish!

What are you lots applauding? That the Governor of a state conducted LGA elections 3 months to the end of his 8 year tenure?

Gush! I can’t believe I share same country with you lots.

Do you know the damages that was done within that time LGA had no administration and funding?

True Anambra people must be ashamed of you.

Did you read what was posted or you were blinded by hatred or you were blinded by sheer ignorance and inability to read and assimilate what was posted?

His tenure was marred by litigation and that's what made him conduct election towards the end of his tenure.

EllySteve:
Hello house,

I have a Camry big daddy that once I am in motion and turn on the AC if I apply the break maybe for a pothole or intersection, when I throttle it lags for few seconds before picking up. Have changed fuel pump and coil but still happens. Please any suggestions?

Scan the car and post code. You should also check if the AC compressor is running freely or if the engine has adequate compression to run with the AC load.

Kingofawesome:
My car a 2008 Camry starts up fine but as soon as I step on the accelerator the RPM drops and the car goes off. Sometimes the RPM would raise and the car would move but if I can get on a good highway and accelerate the car tends to move fine until I get into traffic and where there is no fast moving air coming into the car and then it starts again. I scanned the car and I got oxygen sensor bank 1 lean I got p0031 code.

Get a proper scanner and scan the car. You may wish to check it's fuel pump or fuse in the fusebox. Something is tripping it off.
