To remove door handle, locate the screws on the inner door pull mechanism, door arm rest, 2 black screws underside, and some push in clips.
Then pry the power window/lock button plate and pull out, then disconnect power source, and pull out door handle plate. Pull out door card/mat, and remove 10mm bolts retaining bad handle, remove lock actuator sticks clips. Remove offensive door handle, and replace key lock mechanism with new/donor door handle.
Install donor door handle and tighten all bolts/screws. Replace door mat/card, install all wiring harnesses. Test door for proper operation.

Femtopford:
Not just buy replace, if this op isn't a technician, he needs to visit an auto electrician. Look at the image critically, the electrical connector to the solenoid is damage.

He should learn DIY.

Fixed:
I just took the delivery of a Tokunbo 2005 Toyota Sienna XLE with the navigation and reverse camera option shipped to me without the navigation DVD. It is showing the "insert map DVD" error message on the display. Also the screen does not show any signal from the camera when the vehicle is put in reverse gear though other functionalities like audio are working fine with the screen.

For those who are using this model, is the reverse camera issue related to the missing navigation DVD? Please where can I get a functional DVD for this my fine bus locally. Car was manufactured in February 2005.

Your kind assistance will be highly appreciated.

Your Location is?
If youre based in Abuja and environs, Call Mike 07034581213.
He has vast knowledge in lexus/Toyota issues resolution.

EgunMogaji:
Think like a bad guy, what vehicle do you want to drive when you have to operate in a rugged terrain, loaded down with ordinance, absolutely have to make an escape, can't be broken down.

You look for a vehicle that has solid axles front and back, has legendary reputation for surviving in the most extreme places on earth. All points to these vehicles of choice.

I'm looking specifically for an older Land Rover Defender 110 specifically, jokes have been made that I should get something newer like a fancy Prado or similar.

Yeah right.

An Xterra Nissan is what you can cheaply get. Its got front and rear live axle.

andresia:
I recently had a crash with my car (a baby boy 98 4plug) and one of the switch on the gearbox got broken.

Pls how can it be replaced as the switch seems to be glued together with the gearbox

Gazzuz, lomomike, cardoctor, luvinhubby, et al, pls assist

You can replace it easily. Buy it and reinstall it.

How my Ondo brother (Oga)?

jkingx:
Did you just called me a liar? No offense taken yet. Can you kindly tell us your personal experience with any modern machine and it's fuel consumption? Note I said 'for a car of that size '. I didn't say 100L in both tanks will take us the same distance.
By the way, did you finish primary school?

I am antique bro so I don't know anything about fuel consumption, I did not attend any school.

Read what you wrote, '...drive a 2003 s500 with monster v8 engine. For a car that size, the fuel economy is as good if not better than my wife's matrix...' Bros me and you na still friends, but take am easy...

See am na, oga haba.....

jkingx:
I definitely agree with you. For instance, I drive a 2003 s500 with monster v8 engine. For a car that size, the fuel economy is as good if not better than my wife's matrix. Most folks always tell me how the believe the car will be a guzzler.

lie....

EgunMogaji:
EgunMogaji never said that he loves ANY Fords, certainly not the redneck POS.

I beg of you to not quote my name with Ford anymore. I'll rather my name be quoted with Moblette and Trabants.

****falls from aeroplane***
hehehehe the ford guy wants to corner you into loving fords for red necks, hill Billy's and golden toes.

nurey:
there is no major difference between the 04 and 06, they are both big daddy. If you can't get the recommended coolant, then I suggest the Total coolant sold at 350 for 1litre green in colour but if you are willing to spend more, they have a new coolant product sold at 1200 for 1L which is pinkish in colour, the green one expires within a year but both are good for aluminium engines. Remember to do a flush not top up.

As for maintenance, use your recommended engine oil weight, original filter, brake and power steering fluid, inflate your tyres to the right PSI also download and read your owners manual, it will give you insight on how to maintain your ride

don't try total coolant. it leaves some silly slimy deposits in your cooling routes. use only genuine Toyota long life coolant.

Femtopford:
All our perspective is swallow upon swallow fuel, we need to move forward from our orthodox technological believe. Advancement has reduced fuel consumption to the best induction charges ratio. I can categorically tell you that this monster won't drink as you expected.

e get fuel economy like picanto or prius?
Yes or No

tpiander:
let it go!

you are way out of your element, must you be flogged mercilessly before it sinks in?

you studied geography/urban and regional planning?

I just bought this car from Lagos. We serviced it with visco 2000 then journeyed to Abuja, to our surprise, the oil got dried up when we checked the next morning. Topped it with another gallon, it got reduced bellow half after going to Kaduna and back. I was advised to change to Mobil of which I did with the type they sale #3000, again it dried up as I went to Zaria and came back. I was also told to use Mobil 1, which I used (5w30), to my surprise I again went to Kaduna and came, checked d oil this morning, I noticed d oil is below half mark on the dip stick. I called some mechanics, so said I have to buy a new engine, some said I have to ring the engine. This car is direct tokumbo with 153,000 millage. The sound and everything about the car is superb including fuel economy. Can some one help me with advice? I travelled a lot for my consultancy work and my PG program and enjoying this car but for the oil consumption. Note, no smoke is emitting and the car including engine look new.

save yourself the stress, look no more prepare to change engine. However, if your within Abuja and environs, call Mike 07034581213

Readonee35L:
It seems you've been a victim of A hybrid repair accident
From the time of your former handle you keep making warnings in capital letters and big fonts about expert repairs on hybrids
I doubt if any kazeem will even try to open the battery

lol I've not repaired any hybrid vehicle not to talk of hybrid accident during repairs. I always watch hybrid repair videos online and thru that way, I've been able to learn the battery removal and isolation of live terminal from the inverter's battery, removal of hybrid battery pack, and inverters amongst a few others.

that said, the hybrid charge system can give a lethal shock to a person who mishandle the systems or doesn't use appropriate PPE.

kazeems dey always play with hybrid.... Remember adanny01's mechanic who was starting a hybrid Honda accord without its engine battery? that mechanic is playing with live inland taipan (most dangerous snake).

reason why I always bolden warnings I give is to make people know the obvious danger inherent in the act.

auhanson:
How many gallons does this one drinks? What is the mpg like?

start engine 20litres disappear, throttle engine once 30litres disappear.

whyteboyz03:
My people please help me.... My 2003 Honda accord just started being weird yesterday. Its a V6 and 8 months old . while idling, it jerks for a few seconds then goes back normal. When I try to reverse, it jerks a little then moves normal again. I've never had fuel finish in it . please advice and maintenance required blinks when I start the engine .

Elsafema:

where's your location?

drkay:
Thank you all for your advice, God bless you. I went to make the 'payment' in company of my mechanic friend who checked the car in and out. He didn't only discourage me from buying the car, he bundled me back into my car and drove me back home without allowing me to say anything. On getting home, he said "am disappointed that you of all ppl took me to inspect that thing, call me when you see a car" . I think I'll have to chill for a while. I'll be buying Siena.
