My Brothers,

My QX4 is having issues.. The engine turns but will not start. The security light (the red pinpoint light on the dashboard) is on steady without blinkng and there is no spark in the plugs. Technician said its the transponder /immobilizer, we got another one, reprogrammed it but still yet its not starting. I used the spare key, tried resetting the security module by removing battery and putting it back but stil yet no show

Another Technician is now saying its the brain box. That we need to change both the brain box and the transponder at the same time.. Brain box is around 60k, transponder around 15k..Lookng at 75k material alone!!!

Can their claim be true? what could be the problem?

I'm planning to get a 2008 Nigerian used Toyota Yaris (manual). Taking into consideration the maintenance and the fuel economy, would you advise me to go for the car? Kindly note that I'm a civil servant with an average income of 60k/month

It’s a nice and durable car for city runs. The fuel economy is very good. Make sure you get a good mechanic to inspect it before purchase.

Dear bosses,

My Toyota Camry 2003 went off twice on the road yesterday. Once on my way to akure and twice while returning.
Usually when I slowed down on some bad spots and after a long distance on all occasions.

It then display check light.

Please what could be responsible and what can I do?

Urgent please because I'll travel again next week.

Thanks a lot
