@ Oga GAZZUZZ
Good Day Sir, I just discovered today that My Toyota Corrolla Sport 2004 Model bought Last Year September didn't come with a Catalyst Converter. I called the Dealer who told me it could've have been removed from USA where he bought the Car from.
Honestly, I don't know what to do... I don't even have Funds to buy another Catalyst Converter ... what's the best alternative for me now?
This was my First Car... I'm resident in Abuja

Get O2 spacers.

Speak with GAZZUZZ who has some and Heavenlybang.
Business / Re: Why Are Nigerians So Quick To Accept Inflation? by Philadelphia: 9:12pm On Nov 05, 2021
Nigerians are used to hardship, pain and struggling.
This is why they see easy ways as unrealistic.
Think of what it takes to write and pass WAEC, JAMB and get admitted into a school legitimately, then pass through university.
Think about NYSC then the struggle to get a job that pays 50k monthly.
Think of the way the government treat Nigerians.
The list is endless.
So, the average Nigerian has gotten used to suffering that it has become normal.

Fella sang in one of his songs: suffering and smiling”… that’s just the sad case of Nigerians.

Good morning everyone!

I just discovered this thread because I have an inquiry and I hope you all can help me answer.

I ordered a car dashboard mat (cover) from AliExpress which cost me a total of 9,175 NGN equivalent. The item has been shipped and I await delivery.

Upon its arrival in Nigeria, will I be required to pay duty or clearance fee for this item? If I am to pay, how much will it be?

Please someone should help me provide adequate information regarding this inquiry.

Thank you.

Hello Gurus in the house, please i need your intellectual reviews and best pick on the following SUVs in terms of performance, durability and availability of parts for repair.

Lexus GX 470 2008
Lexus Rx 330 2008
Lexus Rx 350 2008
Lexus Rx 400h 2008 (hybrid)
Highlander 2008.

Thanks in anticipation...

There’s no 2008 RX330.

Your best bet will be the 2008 RX350 then the Highlander.

Leave the RX400h out of this.

Hello Gurus,

Please my 2007 MB B200 doesn't accelerate when I step on the throttle, it's sluggish. I bought it last month as Toks. When it was delivered to me at my base, the driver who brought it said I should top up the ATF, that it's low. I did, thinking that was the cause of the issue, but nothing has changed. Although I realised it wasn't the specified ATF that my mechanic poured inside. I've asked him to drain it all and pour the specified MB ATF, but the issue still persists...

Please help me

I suspect your transmission

Good afternoon house,

I have a 2004 Honda Accord v4, I have noticed that when about to change to the second gear, it jerks. I bought naija used back in March this year.

Because of this jerking, I accelerate soft and once it enter gear 2, I accelerate hard, and it won't jerk if I accelerate soft

The gear selection is fine, it doesn't slip to neutral or does anything funny, only the jerking.

Also note that the jerking can occur maybe 2-4 time in a day. And sometimes it doesn't jerk at all.

I recently replaced the old engine to a tokunbo engine late last month when the engine was smoking and consuming oil. The mechanic that works on the car said the engine is gone.

After the engine change, for like 2 weeks I didn't experience any jerk but recently I have started noticing the jerk when about to enter gear 2.

I also noticed that the way it jerks with the new engine is mild and not hard compared to when I was using my former engine.

I use the recommended ATF oil for honda because the former owner doesn't and I have serviced the gear once.

Also, I checked the gear oil this morning and it is well gauged.

Kindly assist please.


I’m guessing with this jerking, you’re “Check Engine Light” is on.

You may need to scan and post codes here.
However, it may be your camshaft.
I experienced this some years back.
Have your camshaft serviced. If the camshaft sensor is not bad, then servicing your camshaft should fix the jerking.

The 63 cars are AMGs.
The 550s are twin-turbo V8s.

I would go with a 550. Much cheaper maintenence while still having enough power.

This comment is outstanding from the others and in it lies the answer to the Op’s question.

Truly, there’s a huge difference between being knowledgeable and being intelligent.
If you search via Google to find the difference between both terms, then you’d surely know where you belong.

Would have said the accord but that generation is plagued with gear issues.

False!
Say only what you know and is proven to be true, rather than what you think is true which you don’t know.

Tell me one generation of the Camry that beats the Accord of same generation (years) in terms of practical reliability.

Hi everyone, I need some input here... Im at a cross road between Accord (2008-2011) and Altima (2007 to 2011). Tbh, I like the design of the altima better. However, I am concerned with the issue of reliability, cost of maintenance and technical know-how on the part of our mechanics. This is going to be my first car. Kindly advice

Take the 2011 Accord EX-L 2.4L

Did you read the part where the poster asked “How true could that be?

This is a public forum and asking that question calls for answers. And the last time I checked, we still have the rights to express our opinions on this platform.
So, why are you having issues with our opinions?

I have just noticed that the airflow meter changed is not the same parts number as the one that was removed. Will return the car to changed it.

Am in Enugu, not in Lagos.

Thank you. Hopefully, this works.

Thank you.

I was going to type what IkpuMmadu said; exactly what my mech said.
My mech is so sure that it’s the airflow meter and with the emphasis made by IkpuMmadu, I guess it’s the culprit.

MrBuzy:


Good day. You said that I should state the problem. My Infiniti G35 2007 rpm gage and idle up and down continuously between 1100 to 1900 forever. This was after the Mechanic mistakenly cleaned the injectors and the thottle body (injector mouth). I took the car to an Electrician that uses scanner. He tried to control the idling up and down but couldn't. Fortunately that day, someone brought an Infiniti G35x 2007 for him to scan. He quickly removed the throttle body from that Infiniti and put into mine and my car start and settled well. So he advised that I should buy throttle body. I ended up buying it two pairs twice and none worked for my car. He tried with his scanner and it didn't work. He will bring it down with scanner and once the scanner is off, it will go up and down. I need solution to the problem because it seems that none is available for now.


I’ll send this to my mech. If he can resolve, then I’ll send you his number.
Meanwhile, Heavenlybang, come and help.
