Car Talk / Re: Should I Dispose My Recently Acquired Toyota Corolla 06 For 04 Toyot Highlander? by nakoks(m): 11:19am On Jan 10, 2018
Ivegotsolutions:
I imported a Toyota Corolla 2006 From Texas in August Last year, but my boss just informed me of his intention to dispose his neatly used 2004 Toyota Highlander. I so much love the car. Is it wise for me to sell my car for that. He got the car 4 years back, though he was not making us of the car regularly because he had another car. The milage is about 205,222 while mine is about 111223. I priced him 1 million. Pls advice me.

Regards

Make i give you 1.2 for your corolla so u will have 200k change when u don buy the highlander

That would be cool. Where would you be doing your road trip from?

I did a road trip from Kigali through Kampala to Nairobi. Then I continued through Arusha, Dar Es Salaam and Zanzibar. I've just been too lazy to put up the pictures here.

I'd like to do it again, and spend more time in Arusha and Moshi, and do the Kilimanjaro.

Bros which road did you ply to zanzibar?

Well, you can start from your locality, every state has a place of interest. Then you move to the states in your geopolitical zone, then you move to other select states.
This was the method I adopted when I began my travels years ago while still in school......last year I completed my visit to the 36states. Among the notable places I visited last year were:
Tour of Ile-ife
Olumirin water falls
Idanre Hills
Yar Adua, Buhari and GEJ's houses
Jos, Plateau

depends on what you want. For me, i'd say you go for the lex and just be "there" lower maintenance, good ride and so.
If i wanted luxury, i'd go all in on the newer models, Not getting an old fashion and calling it luxury mercedes.
If you know cars or anything about mercedes you would keep that old fashion analogy to your Japanese toys.A benz is a benz,even a 1979 model but you wouldnt know that would you?

Car Talk / Re: Help: My Corrola Oil Level Is Always Short. by nakoks(m): 1:39pm On Dec 29, 2017
sooperrescue:
There's still hope. Get engine flush and flush the engine and use the Mobil 1 5w30 esp and let see how it goes. Then check your spark plugs and see if it is the original. Use ngkpathfinder.com to check the right plugs for your car

It is best to drain the existing oil ,add the engine flush to the drained oil and pour back into the engine ,run for not more than 3 mins and drain before using the 5w30.Applying that flush directly to the engine has dire consequences.

You are right I just checked the gallon of the oil i have been using and it's total quarts 20w50 but which one is sludge, I am scared o

You shouldn't be scared rather you should be sad.Sad that you didn't know the grade of oil being used on your car,sad that you have a 2005 car and never read the manual,sad that you don't know what sludge is,and sad that you have ignorantly killed your engine,sad that your mechanic doesn't know any better and sad that you learned the hard way(loosing an engine in this times)

Car Talk / Re: Honda Accord Tire Size by nakoks(m): 8:44pm On Dec 09, 2017
hugoboss70:
I own a 2003 EOD. I regularly change my 16rim tires once in 2yrs, however the new double king tirrs i bought less than 6months ago have all gone bad. My tire dealer is tring to convince me to go with tires marked C which stands for cargo rather than the P for passenger which am used to. He says cos of the bad state of mile2 badagry road it would serve me better. The C tires are twice d price of d P tires but i dont mind d cost. I just want good strong tires that would last. What do i do?
When you buy double king what do u expect?I cant put that tire on my enemies car.

Thanks for your feedbacks. Do you think if I replace the present oil with Honda ATF DWI the gear could pick up again?

What's the cost of Honda ATF DWI and where can I get it?

Cost is about 4k per litre,contact luvinghubby on nairaland here.On if it can resuscitate your gear?at this point and after 9 months the chance is 10% and tending to zero.

Please help me with your advice/ practical assistant. My Honda city vehicle's Automatic gear got spoilt for the second time this year. It first happened in February, which made me change the gear at a whooping cost of #95k, excluding service charge. To my surprise, the gear just got failed again last week. This is barely 9 months after the previous change.

Some people adviced me to change the vehicle to manual transmission because I may experience similar thing in another few months if I buy another automatic gear.


What is your advice please, do you think changing my vehicle to manual transmission is anything good? Are there any present or future side effects?

Which gear oil did you use when you got the new gear?

SmartchoiceNGR, you are escalating this issue. This is unnecessary, please shealth your sword and allow Luvinhubby time to pick up the return item and refund op. Remember, this is a very busy period for businesses.
For the sake of those that learn english from this site,the actual word is sheath.It could be typo but don't take offense.

Luvinhubby, I have been to your shop a couple of times (not met you in person, itz usually that dark not too tall guy I meet) with muckyplus (a very good friend) and another good friend of mine whose name I would not mention but drives a 2011 Honda accord that u helped with changing a catalyst early this year or so. I can attest to their satisfaction on ur sales and even more worthy is your penchant to even give out some things on credit with the " if you are satisfied with the performance then pay me modus" e.g Honda heat sensor! I have personally not bought anything because I don't drive a Honda. I say this so u know I have a history with your dealings and based on this I have personally recommended hundreds to your shop with the confidence if the want peace of mind on Honda purchases they should seek you out.

With this knowledge, it is saddening that you would allow this matter prolong, integrity is key and easily scattered. I understand you are a busy person but pls find time ASAP to collect the product and do a refund before "elements" take advantage of this unfortunate situation to drag ur name in the mud!!! Please bro.....PLEASE!!!
And do understand the actual challenge Kufre has is with your manner of "communication and his perception of u having intentionally ignored him" , I would advice if you can, offer an unreserved apology too when this is sorted out......at least the customer they say is king!!
May our labours not be thrashed in one day.
Cheers bro.....
Smart write up.Me too have directed more than 10 people to luvinhubby though i haven't used him or met him.Luvinhubby please heed the advice
