If that's what you meant, it was said to have been replaced by the guy who worked on it. Initially it was not entering drive until when fired. After it was replaced it started entering but discharging gear. Now, the mechanic said the problem is now from gear Brain box which was recently also washed and serviced and it became worst. I'm just tired. The car is parked as I can't drive it.
Do you mean you bought another gear which was fixed to the car?

Most times when transmission a.k.a gear of any vehicle develops fault depending on the type of vehicle or fault, replacing the entire gear is often the best to save one from stress, agony, headaches and wasteful spending.

Break disc ?
OK. I will check

I went to alignment shop immediately the bow joint rod was change but after checking with his machine, he said the car alignment is intact.

That was because I went there first the moment the car started waving hand.
Yes, bad brake discs could cause what you are facing.

Was wheel balancing also carried out? That is, all the tyres removed and run through a machine to detect bends on the rims and tyres for possible correction or replacement.

My car is having some issues.......at first it was one annoying noise from under the car any time the rear right wheel enters a gallop.....for two weeks, the mechanic could not find the fault......not until the car started waving hand on speed...
While checking the bowjoint, it was discovered that the rubber bushing of the rod has wear out, he replaced the rod, the noise stopped but the car started exhibiting another symptom........the steering wheel shakes vigorously sometimes when accelerating or breaking.
Have you done or did you do professional wheel balancing and alignment using the machine?

If you did and you are still experiencing that, please let him check your car's brake discs for repair or better still, outright replacement if you can afford it.

I'm currently having gear issues, my fibre burnt. It was allegedly replaced and till date my car has never been the same.
Depending on the car, it would have been better you replace it then.

But you should replace it as soon as you can afford to do that because it is obvious you are not currently enjoying it.

Ok but my car tells me your car is due for servicing in 100 KM meaning my car counts in KM. Here we see road signs like 60,80,100 and 120KM/HR
That means your car is primarily calibrated in KM and it should be from Canada or so. But you and i know that USA cars primarily calibrated in miles are more in Nigeria.

The Toyota thing is just an average Nigerian mentality. All car manufacturers produce good cars that are durable and also fuel-efficient.

The difference between most cars in the Toyota range of cars is + 5 or -5%. Don't buy a used and abused car. Else you will inherit someone else problem irrespective of the manufacturer of the car.
You are on point. I go for high grades of used cars, and I don't always regret it even though I pay more to acquire them because it makes sense.

I service my car after every 5000 KM, servicing cost equivalent to 150k that includes oil, oil filter, plugs, air filter and service charge. We have good roads here, so it doesn’t cost too much
Most vehicles used in Nigeria are primarily calibrated in miles. Still, our system primarily uses kilometres which is why you see the likes of road safety saying speed limit of 80km/hr and 120km/hr for vehicles. It is better said that you service your car every 3,000 miles if you use regular engine oil and filter.

Check the two images attached to this post; the first one represents the speedometer of most vehicles in Nigeria, while the second one represents the speedometer of few vehicles in Nigeria.

In a more straightforward explanation, when only km graduation is used, the vehicle is in Km. When both km and miles graduations are used, the bigger/bolder one is the one the car is reading. If km is the bolder print, the car is counting in km. If miles is the bolder print, the car is counting in miles.

Nothing much because I usually buy and use first-grade foreign used cars.

For almost a year now that I have been using my car, I've only serviced it once. It might sound weird, but it is because I used 20,000 miles of original FRAM oil filter along with high-quality USA Mobil 1 engine oil, and I've only covered a total of about 7,000 miles driving the car since then.

Most mechanics will not be happy to know you have your car scanner because you now visit them less frequently and pay them less. Your mechanics don’t care about you; they only care about your money.

You spend less to repair your car. Each car diagnostic service alone cost N2,000 or above. You will even be lucky if such service is available in your area.
