HitmanDembele:Check the sun roof funnel, drainage and gutter. It may be blocked. You need to have it cleared of any blockage. If you're in Abuja, hit me up to fix it for you tomorrow. |

Greetings Kingrein. Please how do I go about fixing this? 2003 honda pilot: the alternator has 2 bolts connected to it. The down one (size 14), which goes into the engine block has damaged, after constant breaking of bolt and drilling the bolts out. The last one happened yesterday and now, the part to tight it in on the engine is gone. They suggest I change the engine. Gambling to get only the engine block was not advised according to them. What do you think? |

mejai:You don't need to change the engine just yet, something can be done to repair that broken alternator holder. |

kingreign:Biko can U give me a hint.... The mechanic claimed that the holder is made of brass not iron |

mejai:Look for an Agbede to inspect it for you. Those agbede that can rethread a worn-out bolt threading hole. If he can do it, the worst is to bring out the engine so that he can d a good job. |

mejai:Have you heard of heli coil? I guess the thread is what was rounded off. If its that get a helicoil meant for that bolt size and fix it in and lock up your bolt if it's still good |

mejai:It can be redone by tuners or aluminum smelters /fabricators. Engine may need to be dropped. |

kingreign:The driller couldn't come today but tomorrow. Another spot near the damaged part will be drilled open. According to the mechanic, a longer belt than the initial one will be installed due to the new position. I pray it works 🙏 |
| Re: Tell Us Your Car Faults. Let's Assess And Fix Them by kingreign(op): 8:11pm On Jul 15, 2025 |
mejai:It should, but then, an aluminum smelter can redo the broken bit off. |
| Re: Tell Us Your Car Faults. Let's Assess And Fix Them by mejai(m): 10:29pm On Jul 15, 2025 |
kingreign:Ok, I will ask him when he comes. Thanks 🙏 |

kingreign:So far, the alternator has been reinstalled. It was discovered that its original position was also blocked with a broken bolt. An improvise was made and it wasn't done well, it was inclined. And it kept breaking. Now everything has been arranged. Hoping for the best. |

mejai:It's fine. |

Can anyone recommend a mechanic who is very good with suspension? My mechanic told me to change my shocks, linkage, steering rack, hub, etc, but my car still squeaks and makes noise when I drive. My car model is ES350 Lexus; all the mechanics I have called just do a guessing work, a trial-and-error approach. I want a mechanic with technical skills and experience who resides between Ogba, Berger, Omole, Agege, Akute, and their environs. |
