And it happened to me yesterday! Engine died on the highway! Me of all people ���

I found that I'd driven off without[b]radiator cap on, after topping up water.[/b]
After 45min to 1 hour in Lagos traffic in blissful oblivion, the engine stopped. In the last two minutes or so, I noticed like pinking noise that got worse, then low power, then looked at temp gauge and it was near red. Just at that instant, before I could switch off, the engine stopped.

[b]This is a well-tuned 1MZ-FE on a 2001 Avalon.
I'm not a car novice by any stretch,[/b]which is why this is so distressing.

Please guys what and what am I looking at here. Could there be a safety mechanism here.

Who is this?

Why not make it clear then? Abeg shift.

He claimed he's been getting credit alert. Can you get alert and not have the money credited into your account? where the twist in the story is. So what are you talking about comprehension?

AsherAmari:
What is the case here?

All the while you were receiving free salary you didn't complain neither did they. Now they called you back, you want to litigate the matter. For what exactly? To let you continue receiving pay without working or what? I don't really get.

If you don't want the job again, tell them. Simple.

Hello my fellow nairalanders and cars enthusiast especially those in taxi/ private cab business I need your help on making a wise a choice for my friend.

He is planning to venture into the cab market but his budget is 700k at most as that's his Boss is ready to put in for any of these 3 cars that is finally chosen by him for the business.

To cut the long story short he is confused and need the best in terms of fuel economy, cheap maintenance and peace of mind while working.

The attached pictures are his choices please help him with the best your comments will be appreciated
Any other best option/ product of car for his budget is welcomed.

Just get the normal rechargeable fan. I recently bought the lontor rechargeable mist fan, and it is obvious the mist is just an "effizy"

Engine bay cleanup. The good guys at @sprynxmulti on IG did a great job. No water gunning. Just meticulous detailing.

Gurus in the house please help!

My 2005 ML350 drains battery overnight (occasionally thought). I suspected the radio/cassette player and did power it off through the power knob before turning off the ignition. The situation continued. But I noticed that the radio remains connected and running, because eacth time I power it On, the tracks and memory picks up exactly where it left off and all the settings remained the same.

Why I suspect the radio system is that same thing happened with my C220 two months ago, my electrician tried everything without success, even changing the diode of the alternator. I only learnt from him that if the battery end is giving out high sparks when the car is turned off, then something is ON and draining the battery.

Hence I made a habit of removing the detachable control panel of the cassete player at the end of each day: the spark thinned and the issue became resolved till date.

The battery end of the ML sparks very significantly. I do not know how to completly shut down the cassette on it as it were. The control panel is not detachable. I don't want them to mess up with the entire system as usual.

How do I resolve this issue? I appreciate your advice.
