It's normal.... People with mental challenges may remain oblivious to their condition. Good morning sir

I believe sharing his pain online is a way to cool his anger, let him open as much thread as he likes which is better than transferring aggression physically

correctyourself:
Over-Sabi boy, what i mentioned is oil filter and not air filter.

I suspect you must be football fan, always joining issues from wrong angle that would lead to argument.

Nah you be the over sabi, every car manufacturer has it's own specific oil filter. What you have in your pix is the filter removed from the oil filter, which isn't how Ford oil filter is fitted.

Yes I be football fan so I must argue

correctyourself:
What i know is that Ford cars are cheaper than toyota, again it's more expensive to maintain if you choose to use its original parts. E.g engine oil is expensive, not like toyota that can use total, mobil oil and two other oil brand.

Its oil filter is far different from the one other cars are using

Nothing special about the air filter, honda element uses same filter type

I would be grateful if someone can recommend a very good mechanic with automobile workshop for serious checks and repairs on a 2007/2008 Lexus GS350 AWD with vibration issue when car accelerates upon switching from gear 1 to gear 2.

Also, there is check engine lights, fuel consumption and noisy legs issues to sort.

Kindly assist. Ikeja/Ojota/Ogudu in Lagos.

Thank you

Contact gazzuzz he is at Ogba, make an appointment your lexus falls into category of vehicles he still accept

jamesversion:
Well, the burden of proof lies with you since you accused the car manufacturers of complicity in car theft.

I am not in the mood to show prove to an uncouth brat

Carcholce:
Thanks for the explanation. I didn’t know about any of these. Can you shed more light on the “low security of the headlamp”?

I have no idea what that means.

The canbus is there, they remove the wheel Arch cover, plug a scanner there and unlock vehicle by adding another key to it. Car is gone

Some utilize radio frequency trapping, they use a specialized tool in mimicking the key fob frequency. If you check the list of stolen cars, you will see german cars are rarely there or very few in number.

Carcholce:
What do you mean they are not ready? Explain please

The thieves take advantage of the low security of the headlamp to perpetrate the act which the car manufacturers are aware of but have refused to strengthen the security in that aspect. Eventually every stolen car will need to be replaced meaning the manufacturer sells 2 units to one person, one of the units is subsidized by hardworking Oyinbo for African owner

SemperFid:
Someone that manufactures cars with cutting edge technology will steal same car and sell it to the poverty capital of the world. Ur brain de pain you ni?

If I still someones car from their parking lot in Canada and forge documents to get it through the shipping lines and eventually sell it in lagos, how does the Toyota manufacture company benefit from this?

Why don't u blame iphone company for the selling of that you people call London used iPhone?

It is not my duty to educate you, if you wish to know more, seek for knowledge

Kingdemu:
You mean car manufacturers actually steal these cars and ship them here, or that they should be responsible for the security of new cars they sell to Canadians?

The car security is lackadaisical which makes it easy for the thieves to move the vehicle in under 2 minutes.

Owner would need to buy another fresh unit so the manufacturers win eventually. This has been on for years not a new thing

The car manufacturers are not ready, they are one of the major beneficiaries of these thefts.

I have swapped all swapables i.e ecu, throttle body, plugs, cam and crankshaft sensor, kickstarter etc.

Scan vehicle first, the only issue is if your car was converted and bad job done, nah guess work remain ooo also your symptoms sounds like a wrong timing chain position.

But let the technician check the air, fuel and spark condition. Also did you program the ECU after swap?

If you are good with diy drop a mail make I send you the Haynes manual, had it when I was flogging one years ago

Hybrid cars are very fuel efficient especially at low speeds, city driving, they switch from petrol to electric, giving you savings on petrol use.

The disadvantage is just the battery pack, if the battery goes bad, it cost a fortune to replace also hybrid vehicles don't tolerate flood.

UgoFly:
A honda civic 2010 is always having fan belt issues. Something keeps damaginng the fan belt and it makes a terrible noise. A mechanic checked it and said it was a bolt from the steering so he had to remove the engine and to fix the bolt yet the fault is still persisting. Is this a regular problem with civic?

Yes but the issue is from the adjuster and if you buy fake belt. So first check the adjuster, then check the belt you are buying we have quality belt vendors here then ensure he fixes the belt in the right direct

When you return from Port with proof, quote me here.

You go old pass methuselah, it's not my job to school you by providing proof. Importers and exporters know what's obtainable you on the other hand nah passerby or atmost port RAT

Niyijac:
Kindly recommend one. If possible Jumia/Konga links. Thanks

I bought KONWEI for 11k in lagos around may it is serving well. I bought it from adevar global concept on jiji.

So search for konwei scanner the brand is good

proof of clearing

What proof exactly are you asking for? During Buhari Era dollar was #4xx while black market was #5xx, then Tinubu unified all dollar was #7xx while black market is #9xx. If FX rate changed shouldn't clearance price also change?

Tinubu gov also added some extra charges to clearing cost which affected everything imported into the country abi why do you think inflation is the new bridge in Nigeria?

If you want proof the port is free for all go and compare clearing prices there.

You can't repaint the plates because you are denying the government agency responsible from raking in revenue from low quality plate number

Also you are not allowed to protect the plates with any covering so it can fade easily for you to request for another unit. So cooperate with government, they need to generate revenue thanks.

Please I also priced the following alloy rims and I don't know which to pick

Brand new Rim (Chinese made): 165K
Rim fairly used (German made): 124K
Rim Fairly used (Japan made) : 80K


I would have liked to pick the brand new ones but they don't really look so strong as much as the fairly used ones.

Used rim is better than chinese brandnew

I will be changing all four of my Toyota Corolla tyres so I decided to do little window shopping and I came up with this prices


Brand new Radial brand @ N23K
Fairly used @10K

NB: The year of the fairly tyre is 2021 and it looks really good (almost new).


My question is: Is it worth it to buy brand new tyres and are these fairly used tyres not a risk,?

Cc: GAZZUZZ
nurey

Is it GT radial tyres? Cause that brand new price is fishy.

Tokunbo tyres are okay especially that your year you have just ensure it isn't winter tyres.

remi4ever:
Thank you so much, although i bought toks. I will look into changing the top Trans mount.

What about the not so smooth braking??

No diagnosis for that, I don't understand not too smoth braking.

Either the brake sends a feedback or pedal vibrates when you press or

Brakeing causes vehicle to swerve to one side explain further

remi4ever:
Thank you for responding. It's an honda accord euro. I see there is a mount under my battery that holds the Trans, the rubber is broken. Could that be the culprit??

Yes the issue with honda new mount is they always fail, it is always recommended to buy tokunbo mounts for Honda vehicles

haykinzz:
Thanks for your response . The new oil {Mobil 2000 5litres) I changed to last week Sunday before traveling from akure to Osogbo, though the car has been used for errands everyday from morning till night since I got to Osogbo. On checking the oil this morning it is now at the middle gauge . Just got to middle. I’m confused and scared at same time. 2 different engineers have checked now and said no single leakage that my engine is in perfect condition.. It will become a week tomorrow since I changed to the new oil {Mobil 2000 5ltrs)

You have not done the oil burn test. Start the car, while someone depresses the throttle and keeps the rpm at 3 to 4000, another person checks the exhaust for fumes. If fume is notice, then the engine is burning oil due to wear and tear. Only noticeable at high speeds. If you notice such

1. Owner will have to change to thicker oil of 20W50

2. Work on the engine by changing piston rings, rebore the cylinder walls and even getting bigger pistons etc. The technician will put you through this.

3. Buy another engine with low mileage

remi4ever:
Hello, I hear a thud sound when I brake especially when I brake downhills from the engine bay.

Also, my braking isn't smooth most especially around u turns. I changed my back engine mount, and every other mount seems fine.

Recheck your engine and gear mounts

The "Spider" name isn't the factory description of that 07-11 Camry, but a mere nickname bestowed on the vehicle by a God-knows-who Nigerian.

.. So if Op decides to also or call his own Camry "Spider" or "Spider man", wetin come be your own inside?... When no be say the 07-11 Camry don copyright the nickname.

And yes... There are a lot of people I know who still refer to the 012-16 model of Camry as "Spider"...Boya you wil go and beat them.
