My people in the house. What do you guys think about 2005 Acura TSX?

Is buying the car in 2025 worth it?

The car developed transmission issues hence I sold it.
I abused the car a lot though. It was my first so I learnt a lot from it.

Hi everyone, I have a 2015 Mercedes ML350. The car was working normally, then last night it just wouldn't engage gear, it just revved, called the mechanic and he came and said the sump seal was bad. We fixed the leakage, called someone to reset the EGS.

But here's the issue:
The car still wouldn't move unless the mechanic uses his scanner to force it by probably bypassing the EGS or something.

The error code is "UD426"

The mechanic is saying I need to replace the entire EGS but I don't trust his judgement

Please Help!

You mean to write U0426? That matches the disease your car has

I am madly in love with Range Rovers. I cannot afford a foreign used or brand new one. My problem is that I am very scared of the Nigerian used because of what I hear about it. I also see that the price of the Nigerian used are cheaper than the prestige that goes with owning one beside the fact that many of them are up for sale.
I love it but I'm scared, some one should advice me please

You have only clearly stated you cannot afford a range rover, many of the ones you mentioned are up for sale are problematic, abused, daily, sellers throw "anointing" oil on these cars while reciting verses from the book of psalms just to facilitate sale, buyers know why they avoid, sellers want to be free!
Parts are very expensive, you'll need to ship most of them, unending electrical issues too, many auto technicians will have your number blacklisted, some will shut workshop doors on sighting you from afar, in short, only very few can properly fix it when electrical issues happen.

What's the implication of driving a vehicle registered plate number outside of Lagos state but a message was sent to my dad that his vehicle License has expired?

He has been renewing his vehicle papers in the state he resides all this years.

Checking the link in the message my dad received, it says vehicle licence expired 13th December 2024

Please explanation

Good day everyone, please anyone with an idea on when custom will resume clearing of vehicles operations. I have a car that arrived since last month ending and I’m yet to have it delivered.
Re: Car Talk Chat Room by minista94(m): 9:20pm On Aug 07, 2025
Ọmọ where in the same page o,
I have asked same question how days ago but i was told they've resumed but I don't know how true it is, and I can't ask the dealer I contracted anymore because she's not being straight forward, so I don't believe her anymore

I pray she doesn't come back and ask for more money.

Good evening house, I bought a car from a car seller in kaduna I’m from Abuja. We went to kaduna and went to the car stand. I selected the car I bought it 2.7m was told it doesn’t have major problems gear is okay. After I repairs things in the car and spent more than 200k trying to make the car okay. I’ve been noticing the automatic gear has issue until it broke down to me and I had to call the seller who sent his mechanic to pick the car from where it is. I said repairing a gear is something I can’t do and that’s not our agreement. I told him I wanted a refund he agreed to refund me. Now it’s 1 month plus already no refund. What do I do to get my refund please

Quite unfortunate, getting refunded for a car previously bought and picked off a Nigerian dealer's lot is rarely heard of, these people will not even listen if you bought a car from them in the morning and came back in the evening to ask for a refund, they give no warranty, I'd say to start looking at another car the dealer has for sale, even if you have to take a loan maybe from friends, to pay for a better car, this time, come with a trusted mechanic to do a thorough inspection.
I'll not advise you to bring in the police for now, the dealer is still responding, not to mention most of these dealers have police connections, Nigerian used car dealers are mostly crooks ,using the police should be the last resort, it'll cost you more money, unless you're more connected, in which case you'd have gotten your refund already.

A lot of things, honestly. Where are you located in. You would need physical inspection and a scan. Does this happen only at certain times ( maybe during cold start ) or all the time ?
Re: Car Talk Chat Room by 2cribz: 8:07am On Sep 11, 2025
When your cat doesnt start at first .
Low fuel
Or fuel below 3litres.

Blocked nozzles.
Blocked fuel pump housing passage due to either shifted rubber or broken o ring rubber inside the casing.
2 to 3 dead plugs
Weak or dying battery
