Religion / Re: Should Church Instrumentalists And Singers Be Paid? by Mecoy(m): 12:38pm On Feb 04
Yes, and No!

Yes if the instrumentalist is playing for money, and he makes it clear that he relies on the payment to foot his bills.

No, if the instrumentalist determines in his heart that he wants to serve God with his gift.

It's very difficult to profer solutions online for this type of challenge. You'd need a competent technician to fix it. Where is the car located in Nigeria and what work was carried out on the car recently?

The car is in Lagos. Either at V.I or Ogba, any of the two locations work.

No work has been done on it except for oil and oil filter change that was done about four weeks ago

Please I need guidance on my 2008 Lexus ES350.

It started two nights ago when the alarm went off, the usual alarm where the horn beeps at intervals.

I thought there was an attempt to break into the car, but I peeped from the window and there was no one.

I unlocked and locked it back and the alarm stopped. Few minutes kater I went down and noticed that the radiator fan was rolling on its own. I had to remove the battery terminals to stop it.

The next day, I went out with the car and there was no issues. It started the same alarm wahala last night. I had to remove the battery.

It has started the alarm again today at work, and I noticed that when I don't lock the car, the alarm doesn't go off. It goes off about 30 minutes after locking the car.

I got a rewire, and I asked him for his plan, he said he wanted to disconnect the alarm.
My fear is that the alarm could be a warning to something else that is going wrong with the car. I'm actually bothered about the radiator fan that was rolling on its own.

I don't want any rewire to mess up my car, so I need advice from experts here.

Thank you

You should check to see if you've over filled the transmission fluid level. Sometimes they start misbehaving if there is too much fluid. I'm sure yours does not come with a dip stick, you can check online to see how to ascertain the right level.

Setting the right fluid level might at least solve one of the issues you are currently experiencing.
Autos / Re: ASK GAZZUZZ by Mecoy(m): 6:25am On Nov 04, 2022
Can you please shed more light. I'm not a car technician, that's why I'm seeking advise.

What has been bothering me most is what led to the damage, because I don't compromise on car maintenance. I always use the specified original WS transmission oil. I fix every fault on the car immediately I notice it.

Also, I parked the car immediately I noticed the issue with the fear. From your experience, how long do you think this repair can last?

I honestly don't mind if I have to replace the transmission, but this guy is assuring me that it can be fixed. He was referred by a car dealer, he is the one who fixes the gear faults in his imported cars.

Car Talk / Re: Automatic Gearbox Problems by Mecoy(m): 3:58pm On Nov 03, 2022
Culprit has been identified. We will have to repair/ replace it at Ladipo. Mexhanic will take otvthere tomorrow. How much does this cost? And based on experience, does the replacement/repair usually last?

Mecoy:
I am having a suspected transmission issue with my 2007 Lexus ES 350 and I'm in need of a reliable gear expert in Abeokuta.

This is a summary of the problem:
1. I had an accident in April with the car where in order to avoid a careless driver, I swerved hard, lost control and hit the driver's tyre/side on the median kerbs on Lagos Ibadan expressway. Brake disc broke and shaft pulled out. It was replaced immediately by the nearest mechanic to the accident scene. Further repairs were done gradually.

2. In June/July, I had a mechanic check the car in Ilorin to fix all the noise on the front tires. He changed linkages, ball joints and greased the shaft cup which was low on grease.

3. After he fixed it, I traveled the next day, but the car had a lot of unusual vibrations, especially one gentle and repeated vibrations that comes once in a while. Vibration is usually noticed between 40 and 100Km/hr. Mechanics tried to trace the vibrations but couldn't get it. In the process of tracing the vibrations, the shaft was suspected and it was cleaned twice. Once it was 'packed' with rubber and my mechanic in Ilorin faulted the rubber packing and removed it and cleaned thoroughly.

4. In September, I noticed something unusual in the transmission, there was always a delay when switching from gear 2 to gear 3. It wasn't frequent and most times, mechanics didn't notice it during test drive. During inspection, it was noticed that the gearoil sump had hit something and was deformed. Mechanic asked me to drop the car to allow it cool before working on the sump to beat it back to shape. He did this and changed the oil. Please note that I have always used original Toyota WS gear oil for this car, never compromised. He topped with 4 litres oil which he claimed was sufficient.

5. I got back to Ilorin and realized that the problem wasn't solved, there was still a delay switching from gear 2 to 3. I had it scanned by someone who noticed an error, I checked it online, it was something about solenoid which affects the switch from gear 2 to 3, but the guy cleared the error without saving them.
I took it to another gear specialist in Ilorin, he had it scanned but the scan turned out to be okay. Nothing was wrong with the gear and engine. He only advised me to top the gear oil with 2 litres which I did before traveling back to Abeokuta.

6. I traveled back to Abeokuta and the problem was still there, at some point when I was almost in Abeokuta, the car had difficulty moving and was vibrating, I parked, turned off the engine, turned it back on after a few seconds and everything was fine, I continued my journey, but with the transmission delays. The car is currently in Abeokuta, working, but with the transmission delay.
I don't want to travel with it anymore and I don't want to have any trial and error done by just any mechanic. I need trusted hands to check it here in Abeokuta. I don't want to risk driving it down to Lagos.

Please I need a trusted hand that can work on the car and save me from a transmission replacement.

Please note that I have always used original Toyota WS gear oil for this car, never compromised. He topped with 4 litres oil which he claimed was sufficient.

5. I got back to Ilorin and realized that the problem wasn't solved, there was still a delay switching from gear 2 to 3. I had it scanned by someone who noticed an error, I checked it online, it was something about solenoid which affects the switch from gear 2 to 3, but the guy cleared the error without saving them.
I took it to another gear specialist in Ilorin, he had it scanned but the scan turned out to be okay. Nothing was wrong with the gear and engine. He only advised me to top the gear oil with 2 litres which I did before traveling back to Abeokuta.

6. I traveled back to Abeokuta and the problem was still there, at some point when I was almost in Abeokuta, the car had difficulty moving and was vibrating, I parked, turned off the engine, turned it back on after a few seconds and everything was fine, I continued my journey, but with the transmission delays. The car is currently in Abeokuta, working, but with the transmission delay.
I don't want to travel with it anymore and I don't want to have any trial and error done by just any mechanic. I need trusted hands to check it here in Abeokuta. I don't want to risk driving it down to Lagos.

Please I need a trusted hand that can work on the car and save me from a transmission replacement.

Please tag the experts in the house.
