Please I need guide to do it yourself with the security feature of a 1999 Toyota camry. The security system Saca model was installed some years back but stopped working on it own due to God knows what. Yesterday it activated itself with the nauseating blaring noise and it cannot be stopped with the fob because the central lock system of the car is no longer functional.

When the car stop blaring, the security indicator light flashes and that I presume prevent the car from starting.

How do I disconnected the security system permanently myself since the car is parked kilometers away from rewire help?

Good Evening House.
Please I would be glad if someone here would help me out with the issue I am facing with my Nissan Xtrail 2000 Model.
It refuses to start after being driven for a while. Untill it "cools" for about 30 mins. 2 weeks ago, it stopped starting altogether. The engine cranks but wont start. I had it scanned and got a U1000 message.
I do not have accurate knowledge of previous issues with the car because it belonged to my late dad.
While changing the oil some months ago, the mechanic noticed that the oil had a creamy color in the top cylinder. He said the top gasket was leaking and letting water into the oil. I had the top cylinder changed when the car was grounded.
The vehicle usually had the non-start issue but there was a fix for that. Dad had a wire connected directly from the kick starter that could be placed on the battery terminal and the car would come to life. But now, that doesnt even work.
Some of the electricians that have looked at the vehicle said the ECU (brainbox) was the problem. I bought another but the car still wont start. The ECU that was in the vehicle when bought isnt the branded Xtrail ECU. The connections there had been worked on before. So the new ECU didnt require any programming.
Some pointed at the crank and cam sensors. I had those changed but still no start.
I have changed all the plugs in the car (4 cylinder). No change
Changed the fuel pump. No change

Please has anyone experienced this before?
Is there a fix for it.
Please help. I really need that vehicle to run my business

Dear Siena,

I recently acquired a VW Jetta 2006 model that developed transmission issues. I will attempt to list these issues:

1 . All gears are selected in the instrument panel (I guess that means it is in limp mode. Why it is in limp mode is what I don't understand)

2. Other signs: vehicle occasionally jerks quite violently when the reverse gear especially is selected from 'P' position. The ride is also jerky also occasionally. Most times, the car will change gears seamlessly but with deceleration to a complete stop, accelerating is unusually prolonged. Seems the engine power for some reason isn't been transmitted to the wheels. There is also the occasional high engine revs (loss of gear).

This all began on a trip to Abuja. I had the car taken to mandilas where the car was scanned and a change of gear oil and gear oil filter was recommended but the solution seemed too simple for the complicated problem. The error was cleared (and while driving, only 'D' was selected but about 30 minutes later, all gears were selected while in traffic and problem has persisted.

Currently in Lagos and had the car taken to VW dealership and they recommended changing the transmission and the cost of a new gearbox is about the cost of a new Kia Rio. So there lies my dilemma.

Recently however, there is a rattling noise, not very loud that is audible when the gear is changed to 'D'. That occurred the morning the car was being driven to the dealership.

In any case, what do you advise?

1. Get a mechanic to fix the gear box?
2. Buy a tokunbo gear box

Would love to hear from you. Would also appreciate the contact of a transmission specialist in Lagos from members of the house.

Thanks Mayor but I'm looking at the possibility of having them done here especially the crown and Odyssey as they have unique dashboards and in the case of odyssey gear selector. The others I believe have european versions. The Nissan march is Micra for example but I would like to know if they are available here in Nigeria and a good mechanic who can convert them.

rextronics:
Hi, I am thinking about buying these six cars from Japan. Toyota crown, toyota IST, Nissan March/sunny and honda Odyssey all under 99 to 03. As you all know, they are right hand drives. I am worried about their conversion kits/conversions and the price. Your opinions and advice will be appreciated.

wheredemdey:
Ignorance is indeed bliss.


Stop yapping rubbish...obiaono recently purchased more than 100 dump trucks and buses from innoson this year alone.....all the free shuttle buses used by anambra civil servants are all innoson products same with the dump trucks.......innoson has a bug problem with meeting demands.....the company is yet to meet demands of 85 sedan cars for taxi services...an order placed by the state govt since July this year....

For ur info many eastern states are patronising innoson...the company is focusing on export sef....gis cars are hot cakes in Togo and so many African countries.

KingBish:
I have done that. I was told the brand new goes for 3.7M while I could get a used one for 2M
So there's a huge difference

Please I got delivery of c240, before delivery, battery couldn't start it, the have to use another battery to start it. It was driven from Lagos to East on 27th December, I changed the oil and travelled with it on 29th December. When I came back, the handlamp was on and the radio too. After about 15minutes, I off them and the car couldn't start again, I supported it with another battery and it started.
