People in the house, I've got a Lexus ES300 car to be precise but I've been having issues with the CD player. Anytime I try to insert Disk into it, it won't just work but the FM and other stuff works perfectly. Though I've got disk inside the CD player but it doesn't play. Do you think the CD player needs to be repaired or I should just get the whole CD player set and how much will it cost me getting the Whole CD player and also where I can get the whole set for my Lexus ES300. All opinions will be so much appreciated. Thanks
What year is your lexus ES300? It needs to be repaired. How many disc loader is yours? Does yours accept disc comfortably? Or it doesn't when you try to insert a cd?

As for your tpms. Check your tyres and guage to recommended psi rating. Your psi rating could be seen on the door pillar of your car (driver's side). I hope you didn't change your alloys of recent?

My 2010 Toyota Camry blinks a triangle with an Exclamation sign in the middle, I tried to google it and found out its the master warning light, and also has this low tire pressure sign which am not sure is correct because tire looks ok to me.. Does anybody have an idea what the triangle sign is as I couldn't get anything good from Google..Tnks
Could you upload a pix of the said light?

MontyNG:
So I'm looking at getting a 2010 Honda Accord... Naija used... Why do they get such a bad rephuh

Everyone just says they always "yawo"- have steering / shaft issues...

Is this historical reasons... Do these also apply to the newer models 2010 accords.... Does anyone with one let me know their experience with it...
It may not be as rugged as a Toyota but is it really that bad that it must be avoidedhuh

Its either that or get a 2011/12 kia cerato... Prices of Camry's have really shot up recently and can't afford one!

Thanks
Maintenance is the key factor. Honda accord 2010 are not known for this issue

Car Talk › Re: Washing Automobile Mechanical Parts With Petrol; Is It Really Wrong? by mayor2013: 2:15pm On Mar 04, 2016
Basically the use of either of the mentioned products( petrol or kerosene) by the "op" should be dependent on the part or the component to be washed.

@ sienna would you use old diesel to wash excess of grease that finds its way out of drive shaft housing as a result of a torn shaft protector splashing all over chassis, oil drop pan, belly housing etc. Diesel is sticky so therefore if in a situation where its used to wash out excess of grease in this case, don't you think the sticky nature would attract lot of sand when the car is being driven therefore making the bottom of the car more messy and uncomfortable for any technician to work on?
Car Talk › Re: Washing Automobile Mechanical Parts With Petrol; Is It Really Wrong? by mayor2013: 10:14am On Mar 04, 2016
Kashif:
In training, we are told not to use petrol to wash internal mechanical parts - engine, transmission, general drive train. It is advised that kerosene is used instead. In transmission repair, we are told that only ATF, kerosene, or a blend of both can only be used in washing transmission parts. It is good to play by the rules and follow general practice but, in this particular case, is it not overrated?

I have seen mechanics wash parts with petrol without any consequence. I have done so too, and tend to like the effect more, especially when washing metal-only parts. Some say petrol is more abrasive than kerosene; agreed, but will it matter? Will you wash an injector with kerosene?

I am a selective conformer, and will obey strictly, those principles I understand. I have come to question some rules, and this is one of them. I have an open mind towards this, and will like to entertain logical propositions.

Over to the techies with hands-on experience.
You have spoken well. Petrol is more abrasive than kerosene. Have personally used both and the result was different, petrol being a harsh and volatile substance takes out those sticky oil easily. Also it dries up fast unlike kereosene which is non volatile in nature requires more time to dry up and doesnt clean up the parts well that needs to be cleaned up. Another substitute to this is carb cleaner but the big question goes thus; how many cans of carb cleaner would you use to clean up those sticky oils away? A dozen ? cry

Well as for me I would stick to petrol. Another important thing we should not forget is as at today in Nigeria petrol is much more cheaper than kerosene. As for me I would put into the consideration the nature of the part am to clean up. I wouldn't be using kerosene to clean up noozles. My fuel injection tester and cleaning machine does that. My opinion
Car Talk › Re: 1999 Tiny Light Overheating by mayor2013: 7:07am On Mar 04, 2016
joelreg:
My fan stopped working I never notice, when I did the car already started overheating. Electrician fix the fan issue yet temperature still going high and engine getting hot like mad. Mechanic said my water pump is bad, I changed it yet temperature still going north now he ask me to change the gasket. Please what do I need to do so temperature skyrocketing and engine getting hot will stop.
How long does it take for it to over heat? Have you checked your cooling system to see if you have a leak somewhere. Your leak could be an external one or internal one. What needs to be done is to carry out cooling pressure test. That would reveal if you have a leak on your cooling system. Stop thr trail by error and stop throwing money round part. If you are in lagos and you need to fix the problem call 08156087872 or 08165520837, bbpin is 7BE1C522

Oh My God,
This is disastrous,
Nigerians why why why
Is it compulsory too drive 1 2012 Camry,
Maybe the dealer bought this car with the hope of replacing the battery and got it for a very chap price probably $2000-4000
But at lease a 2gr-fe of this same non hybrid should be used and all parts transfered from the non hybrid, might cost a fortune but it's the best thing to doo.
This car is ruined,
Downgraded From a 6speed auto to 4speed
engine downgraded to 2AZ-FE
Abs Ruined
Airbad system is ruined
Brake will be shit
A/c will work tho Now it has the rubbish manual compressor our ac technicians like,
At least it has Efi Not a carburetor.
Push to start function destroyed
What ecu does this cay even Use,
It's gonna run rich
infact it's gonna be a disaster,
O2 sensors will just be there for presence sake , they wont work
so many sensors gone,
And this car can't be scanned with a Machine again, If it's faulty you repair it by Trial you keep throwing parts till it works,
This CAR shouldnt sell more than 1million naira,
A Clean 2005 camry is beta than this car
You tried @ 1m. 200k pere grin
