Good day,

We are creating a group for Lagos based Fleet Managers on the Telegram app. The purpose of the group is basically to leverage on each other's resources; like knowledge of the business, contacts of good mechanics and body shops, help each other with driver recruitment needs (rental or HP), car sale deals. etc but most importantly promote improvement, fairness, and share ideas...

By this act, we are multiplying our strengths so much so that even a newcomer in business won't have trouble starting because its a forum where he or she can ask questions...There is always an advantage in teamwork over working alone or in a smaller team. so if you are interested, chat me up on telegram so I can add you..

07020656762

have a great day

ps, the group is on the telegram app, if you don't have it you can download.

Lol chill, it's not that deep.
If you check the thread on that car Gazzuzz was driving, he had just bought it and was bringing it down to Lagos for some work, its ABS wasn't even functioning yet he could push it that far with plenty backfiring grin that's how Benz do.
Besides my car is in great shape and I always have a check done before I travel, I easily do 160 on it normally so 220 should be a breeze on a good stretch of road. Note also that the idea is to burn carbon deposits, I'm not going to maintain that speed throughout my trip, 30minutes should be just fine, so will I.
There will be no swinging low, Shalom

Good day all..my car started leaking transmission fluid terribly, it's so serious and the leak starts fully majorly when the engine is hot...

Mechanic said leak is from torque converter seal and the engine and gear needs to come down for them to fix...

Any guarantee on this pls...
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by thonyman: 7:35pm On Sep 18, 2020
My brother, if carbon wants to deposit in engine, I ll leave it to deposit. It is more important to ensure there is life to buy another car/engine without carbon deposit. My 120km/hr max is super. I may even buy speed limiter is devil wants to tempt me.
Life is sweet!

Should be the other way round. Are you sure of your diagnosis? In over 10years I have only replaces a faulty MAP once on a Toyota carinaII. Those parts seldom fail.

To each his own, if the car can perform and do it safely I'll step on it. The keyword is safely
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by xanie: 2:16pm On Sep 20, 2020
I noticed that each time I use the wipers, AC and maybe headlamps, the battery icon lights up and the power steering stops working until I switch off the AC. What could be wrong? Vehicle is a 2005 Corolla.
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by chigora: 3:39pm On Sep 20, 2020
My Honda City 2005 model, Manual transmission shows this sign on the dashboard that indicate that there is no water in the radiator whenever i start the engine. After about 2 or 3 minutes, it will go off. Note; water is always in my radiator. Is it anything to worry about.

The warning lamp is an indication of vehicle temp at very low thresholds (below 60degs Celsius) you should not be worried about it. The light is usually green.

What you should be afraid of is the red warning grin, that one only appears after the engine has overheated.

The Honda city of that year did not come with a temp gauge sad

My 2005 Toyota Corolla (bank type) make rattling and annoying noise anytime I apply brake while on motion, what could be the cause? Help me please car gurus in the house.
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by chigora: 5:59pm On Sep 20, 2020
Thank you Gazzuzz for this apt response. I want to also know if this honda city has trasmission oil since it is a manual transmission.
