Danny0531:
There are quite a good number of the the first generation model in Nigeria. Parts should be available...I guess.

bros yes it's tru parts shld be available but remember d market naturally responds to market demand. now m a person who loves to be different. going against d crowd bt wen it comes to cars sir... i see it as an investment and its got to be a wise one.
personally i wnt buy an umcommon car for a first car. why? cux I wld want to sell for an upgrade. n I av to think of a car dt wld sell much faster....
so for me an uncommon brand will obviously be d second car. the "other car". not d main car.

A cooling system is designed to operate at much higher pressure to prevent the coolant from boiling at lower temperature .Also ,high pressure will help in more effectiveness in cooling system ability to remove heat .
However , Bad Radiator cap and leak in the cooling system will lower the pressure in thus making the coolant to boil at lower temperature and overheating will occur due to this .
The essence of cooling system pressure test is to check the integrity of the cooling system for any hidden leak and also to confirm how good the radiator cap is .
In using the equipment ,the kit is used to pressurised the whole system and any hidden leak wil clearly show as coolant will be dripping from the leak .
The solution is to fix the leak and the effectiveness of fix applied can be further comfirmed by performing the test again .
Below is pix of a pump kit for performing the diagnosis.

wow! now v learnt smtin. tnx for dt bro

honmusa:
If the issue persists after changing the radiator cap to a better one ,go for Cooling system pressure check.

At first it was just ugly until i saw it up close. Now i like it,and you have to agree with me,its one of the cheapest SUVs out there with a third row. But the question is; Are the parts available? Are they easy to get? And How well do our mechanics know it?

bro my advice? enta market ursef and try see if d parts r vert well available where U stay.

and also mechanics too... see for ursef do d research. cuz it wldnt make sense getting a car( or investing in an automobile) and den wen theres a fault U cant be mobile cuz of difficulty in getting parts... this is why even if Toyotas no be premium ride yet dey r expensive... availability of parts and mechos to work on... very basic value for money

GAZZUZZ:
as long as you can order parts online, no problem.

hmmm at this part tho...

Hello please it is quite disheartening to see that the basic rules that guide the effectiveness of this platform is gradually being turned to rubbish.
pls guys kindly go through this cartalk section​ and see how the number of posts about cars for sale are gradually flooding the whole place.
pls if there are any mods in this section, you very well know what to do. This section is for car talk not Carsales na....

Yes, Minimum qualifications SSCE certificate bt even if u don't have, i think they will still accept u bt to some age

hey izit ok if I reachout privately on whatsapp?

princetom1:
That's why you have to go there yourself. All enquiries from BIMI are always well answered bt automedic (maybe it's the MD i called) was very rude and arrogant. All same, for you to make the right choice, u need to go have a first hand experience, know what you want and what they are offering. Don't hesitate to go check BIMI up, it's inside a school and they can help with boarding facility and their tuition too is very very reasonable.

bros is this institute open to all backgrounds?

LexngtonSteele:

Mementoes:
Check if the factory connection to your radio has ever been messed with. Tapes and bare wires are a clear pointer, then we can continue from there.

alryt... will check d radio wiring and connections for any irregularities

Lexusgs430:
I no gree o

looolz.... see tif. so na onli U dem dey sow for abi? tif tiffer tiffest

ZIMDRILL:
car radio works with 3 wires, ground aka negative, then 2 positive ones that works differently the 1st positive is always ON even when the ignition is switch off this wire is the one that suppies power to keep memory in radio this like time, your preset station etc meaning when you switch the radio on it start from where your left it, if you were playing a cd it continue from where you left it from. So this wire is always ON then the 2nd this one usually works with the stages of the ignition key either only on when insert the key or when put in stage 1 or 2 of ignition that the one that switches off the panel of your radio.

so the common mistake some people do is they connect the two positive wire to that positive which is always on, so one you do that it means your radio is always on even with ignition off the only way is turn off the radio physically after or before the ignition is off

solution you need to find the 2nd wire that only turn ON when ignition/accessory is ON and connect the one of the radio positive to that one, then your radio should be able to switch off automatically after switch of the ignition if it doesnt it simply means your criss crossed the two positive one

ISO standard connection colours for aftermarket radio are YELLOW = ALWAYS ON POSITIVE 12V aka battery, RED = 12V ACCESORY powers only when key is ON or ingition 1 or 2, the finally BLACK = GROUND aka NEGATIVE

So based on aftermakert radios YELLOW wire to connect to a permanent 12v wire (always on with 12v feed) the RED connected to 12v wire that on becomes on when key in ingition 1 or 2 and BLACK is on GROUND aka negitive, this way your radio switch of when ignition is also OFF

tnx for dis bro... will try check d radio connection out. hope it also applies to OEM radio cuz d radio is not after market. na followcome radio

Lexusgs430:
I go carry your details go mountain for positive response

bt u go donate ur lexus fest o

nurey:
If it's after market radio then the connection was bypassed somewhere, you need a rewire to do a solid reconnecting.

If it's the follow come radio you can either change the unit or always switch it off before you switch off the ignition.

tnx oga mi. na follow radio jare... change it ke? make I come comot d one for ur car na

Lexusgs430:
