Car is a mechanical and electrical system which can fail at anytime, so whenever you loose your brakes during driving just see it as a mechanical malfunction likely to occur , dont think its spiritual or strange just put your mind together.

Five steps to follow when you loose your brakes

1. Don't panic , be strong and concentrate on your driving.

2. Pull up your hand brake.

3. Put your gear on Neutral (N)

4. Off your engine while you leave the ignition on. ( all this four steps while automatically slow down the car)

5. Look for a safe place to stop the car .

So you are doing 80km/h and see traffic ahead and you press the brake to slow down and see it isn't working and you expect someone to remember all these.

safety maneuver is an involuntary action, the best bet that any driver in such distress should have in mind is "Engine breaking"

for manual transmission, switch to gear one straight and lightly the depress the accelerator and the car would decelerate instantly.

For automatic move your gear lever down to 1 or L or lowest gear depending on vehicle make and deceleration would occur.

please never switch to N or off Engine, as downward decent in N would make car go faster or level ground would not slow Engine down as for switching off Engine, you loose steering wheel feel nah crash be that ooo

Good day house my Mazda refused to on , I called the mechanic after doing everything from changing the plug to cleaning the tank still it refused to start,

And he called a motor electrician after checking he said that I will reprogramme the brainbox and change the sensor ,still after changing and reprogramming the brainbox it still refused to start all my money is wasted on that car but it still adamant , and the car is still new don't know what to do again about three mechanic has touched it still the problem is there.

Whenever you are asking for help, always be thorough with your explanation.

we don't know the Mazda model year, we don't know the Mazda model, we don't know the Engine type. You didn't tell us the event that led to the troubles, what was each mechanic diagnosis we don't know.

we are humans here not magicians, if you need help, start from the beginning and give detailed information, when I say beginning I don't mean beginning of evolution please summarize last time you used the car and what led to the wahala

Good morning gurus in d house I drive a 1999 Sienna. Once had over heating issues on d road and a road side mechanic came to help but after fixing d issue I found out my headlamps refused to come on. Took it to my mechanic shop where his electrician tried but to no avail. He brought in another electrician who finally did it but my day light running light no longer comes on until u put on d head lamp but the head lamp sign on the dashboard is always on runni
Down by battery in d process.

Also found out after some days all the inner lights refused to come on now this morning my charging port has also refused to work. Pls help

The DRL is controlled by a box under the steering wheel which also controls the headlamp, if they didn't work there, move to the bonnet and just infront of the battery, there is a small fuse box there, let a qualified technician check the fuses and relay there.

Then you move to the main fuse box infront of the brake oil container and check the fuse and relays there then the fuse box in the cabin where the coin holder is, check the fuse designation to know which to remove and check if connection is broken.

To the professionals in the house, i will like to seek your opinion and professional advice .

Background:
I love toyota sienna due to its roomy and large cargo space. I want to get it for personal use most especially for the comfort of long journey with my family once in a while.

I discovered 2004-2010 Model year are of the same generation.

In the course of pre examination for average price, one of the seller discourage or let me say he gave his opinion that 2008 carried big engine and consumes more fuel that 05 or 06 will be better.
My further findings shows 2006 is equipped with 3.3 L engine while 2008 is with 3.5L.

Please, i will like to know
1. the implication of this big or small engine of a thing
2. The fuel consumption
3. Any other issue that is related to either of them

3.5 has a better performance and fuel economy than 3.3. When you get the 3.5 tell your mechanic to check the oil cooler hose and confirm its metallic not rubber. If it's rubber, please buy metallic and replace if it's not too costly to do or better still always check the oil guage regularly, if you notice oil shortage just check the oil cooler hose asap for leakage.

The hose can fail while in motion and Engine would knock, Once aluminum Engine knock, nah replacement sure pass.

pix is the hose am talking about

Heavenlybang, shortgun please sheath your swords and let peace rain, you have both broken several NL rules, please I don't want to know who started it.

Don't force my hands to wield the big stick (Ban) thank you both for your co-operation.

You can both listen to YANNI to calm your nerves.

hi all i have an iphone x with ios 13 and i will like to unlock icloud activation on the phone pls i need suggestions on how to bypass it for free or paid anyone pls you comments and respons are needed

You can't bypass iCloud since the days of IOS 5 or so.

To unlock the iCloud depends on whether the phone has been blacklisted (Stolen) or just a case of not removing the iCloud by the seller. Your best bet is to contact seller for the iCloud removal cause iCloud unlock is expensive, I was billed 45k for iphone5 I wonder how much them go bill you.
