Nope, ,,,,,,,,,,,, Acura TL dashboard and components won't work!!

Acura TL is actually slightly bigger and wider than a US spec Honda Accord. It's development was entirely based on creating a more upscale model from the US spec Honda Accord platform! The Euro Accord is essentially the same as the Japanese domestic market (JDM) Honda Accord which is a narrower car!

@Ikeymann is just being stubborn and obdurate people make terrible mistakes!!!. I have told him - go get a donor car from the German market!
The euro spec Accord is available in LHD in other european countries too such as France, Spain and Belgium. But I think his best bet is Germany.
That car is going to need other stuffs apart from dashboard, he might as well get everything there!

The only other alternative I can think of (and you can check this yourself) is to use the dashboard from the American Spec 1994-1997 Honda Accord model called 'Bulldog' (CD-4 chassis). The Euro and JDM Accord that was manufactured from 1998 - 2002 (CF-4 chassis) is well known in the inner circles to be a slightly updated version of the previous CD-4 chassis. The Dash would most probably fit, you may however have to improvise on the fitments of a few other components that may not be exact fits such as Steering rack and pinion etc.

Sultaan!! ,,,,,,,,,,,haba!!! oil condition/check ke??

@Yemisiol
Three questions:
1) What year is this Honda Civic Millenium?
2) Before your Honda started cutting off on the highway, would it refuse to start occassionally? (for example; after a trip somewhere, when you want to leave and drive home, it would not start and you have to wait a while). Was your Honda doing that??
3) Does it cut off on the highway (top gear/top speed) on every single trip or does it do it randomly and unpredictably?

Let me know.

@Mr FreshMoney,

Is it by force?? If your don't have the funds you can simply move on and stop venting your fustration on the poor guy. He is not forcing anybody to buy,  is he??

And by the way, a 2003 Acura RL is not remotely overpriced at N2.7Million. Heck! the car kelly blue book value of the car at 76K is nearly $12,000.00! And this is using the Private Party Value (PPV). If I use the retail value (Dealers Price), then you may well be looking at $14,000.00!! (this things are not free you know?). By the time you ship the car and clear it thru Nigerian customs, you will be at close to $16,000.00. For the sake of clarity, I will lay it down for you:

Purchase Price:         $12,000.00  ( Using Kelly Blue Book, PPV)
Shipping:                   $ 1,500.00  (Using my own experience from the East Coast of the US as a basis)
Clearing:                   $ 2,000.00   (Luxury sedan price as per my Agent)

TOTAL:                      $15,500.00

Using the above, the landed cost is easily $15,500.00 X N180.00 : this will give us N2,790,000.00

I will have to assume that the seller is either not making any profits or was able to get it at a very sweet deal. Either way. I think he deserves to sell the car as he wishes and if he chooses to try and make some profit, I see nothing wrong with it.

Freshmoney, next time you don't like a price, I will advise you to go to blackmarket buy some dollars, go to the airport, pick up a ticket and fly over to whatever place you think you can get it cheaper. Fuming and making noise doesn't help.

I think Nairalanders are spoilt to even have the option of buying at the prices I see here (many of the prices are not sustainable!). Considering the exchange rate and where I think the naira is headed, you better tighten your belt and get whatever deals you can lay your hands on!. If you think somebody else is in business to loose money, then you have got another thing coming!
If you want to blame somebody - Blame "President YAR-DO-NOTHING" AND HIS COHORT!!!

what is the problem? There is nothing so different about an RX-300. It essentially uses a variant of the same 3.0L V6 found in Toyota Highlander, Toyota Camry, Toyota Avalon and Toyota Sienna.

Tell me the riddle,, perhaps I can tell you the interpretation

lol, @Siena what is biting this guy

Here is an obsidian black 2007 Toyota Harrier. This model is known as the Lexus RX350 in the US market.

@Zoomzu,

The cars you requested are really best ordered from Europe. Although there are VW Golfs here, it is increasingly difficult to find Golf MK III cos they are older and were not imported into the US in great numbers! Golf MK IV are much easier to find. Nevertheless, I will still search diligently for what you specified. Thanks.

@Auto freak

You can't just apply some advice for another person's car to your circumstance! You knocked out all the Catalytic converter filter without even remembering that I said that you should check that this is the problem first! - this is why I listed those steps in (4), (5), (6), (7) and (!.

Your problem seems very different fron Danchiks' problem. Your check engine light is on for a reason and the codes you specified strongly suggests to me that you have an EGR valve (Exhaust gas recirculating valve) and MAFS (Mass Airflow Sensor) problem. Your MAFS is the one that determines the Air to Fuel ratio and it doesn't seem to be functioning well at lower temperatures and this is why your car keeps cutting off when cold.

Essentially, your engine may be burning too rich or too lean (depends). Since the EGR valve is largely controlled by the MAFS information output to the ECU, I will suggest that you replace your EGR valve first (also EGR valve is much cheaper than MAFS). I will also advise you to clean out your Air intake/inlet manifold and your MAFS with cleaning fluids while you at it. If you are lucky, it is probable that your MAFS is not faulty or damaged, and you will not need to replace it.

If all these fails, then you may simply need to replace your MAFS (Mass Airflow Sensor) with a new one. Goodluck.

PS: Make sure you use a Mechanic with a modicum of common sense and NOT a crude slowpoke!!

@Zoomzu

I am unable to get you the Nissan Almera cos it is an Europe only model and I am based in the US. As for the other car (Gold 3) , I have no clue what car you are refering to. Pls clarify. Thanks.

More to come,

Toyota Celica GT-4: Warning: Ladies beware!!!
Strictly for Effizzy!!!

Just can't get over this car - Toyota Fun Cargo!! It is a wagon/MPV derivative of the Toyota Echo/Platz/Vitz family. Simply liked the versatile design and the practicality.
Lagos could use a few of these

The facinating and duminitive Toyota Cami 4WD Aero. This is one of the japanese kei compliant domestic models. Quite lovely!

This LandCruiser VX was just too clean to ignore! Saw it displayed on a dealer lot.

This is an interesting one: A classic 1993 Toyota Landcruiser VX! This truck use to be the ultimate - worth its weight in gold!

A lovely 2007 Toyota Premio. Toyota Premio shares a platform with the Toyota Allion however it is more upscale and places more emphasis on luxury.

I know this is not a Toyota but nonetheless it will strike a cord in guys. Remember the old Nissan laurel?? This is a 2002 Nissan Laurel. I still like it.

@Promise72, How now?
You know you are a lot closer to Japan than I am.

Cute, simply cute 2007 Toyota Auris :

Yes, a boring 2004 Camry. Thankfully it wasn't all that popular in the local market. Essentially the same with the US market Camry.

The 2002 Toyota Allion. I was pleasantly surprised at the popularity of this model in the local market. It does share some commonality with the Avensis but is completely different. The reason for its popularity soon became obvious, it was the model that replaced the all popular Carina!

Did you ever wondered what happened to Toyota Cressida?? Well, Toyota did not kill it, they simply went on to call it a new name: Toyota Cresta. And yes!, they made them all the way to 2000 before completely replacing it with another model and name. Believe it or not, this nice Cresta (grandson of cressida) is still a RWD (Rear wheel drive car). Extremely popular in japan for the purpose of wicked "driftings!"

Here is a spotless 2000 Toyota Cresta Sedan!:

For the more common taste, here is a Toyota Corolla Wagon (called the Corolla Fielder):
