Godfather10: My Brother anybody that can work and make a living should just thank God, you are lucky, the unemployment rate in both U.K. and USA is catastrophic. But their palliative are more effective then what we have in Nigeria and it’s corrupt leadership Uk but not US o. Audio palliative which most of us have not yet seen |

BeardedTraveler: Yes sir. As a matter of fact, it's possible to convert the key ignition type too Please don't. That's how all sorts of issues start. We've had to reverse that on a couple of cars and it wasn't fun. |

erico2k2: lol I think it depends on who doing it and the level of understanding.I think lack of new parts is a major discouragement in the world of Engine rebuild which we are used to in the west, if you do research just a piston ring compressor mechanics do not have not to talk of something as easy as a torque wrench! Lejeun3 has access to them stuff hence E dey follow me do graar graar here  Again, no. That's why shops have rebuilders and r&r (remove and replace) techs. The r&r guys simply drop the engine for the rebuilders. After the rebuilders are done, the r&r guys put the motor back in the car. Two very different skill levels. |

erico2k2: ok let me ask you this, can a mechanic who takes out an Engine from a car and replace the crankshaft rebuild an engine? no. That's why you have so many shoddy engine jobs |
Car Talk › Re: Lexus RX300 Issues With Ringing And Catalyst by radautoworks: 11:21pm On Jun 30, 2020 |
erico2k2: That I agree, my argument is not that it is easy to take parts apart.My argument is IF you can take parts apart and refit them you can rebuild an Engine! My dare in-car Engine is very limited even though I undo more complex Engines than the car Engines. I get your argument but disagree |
Car Talk › Re: Lexus RX300 Issues With Ringing And Catalyst by radautoworks: 10:28pm On Jun 30, 2020 |
erico2k2: Well, I think anybody who can strip down an Engine can repack it can rebuild.If you can change the Crankshaft of an engine, you can rebuild an engine, if you can change the oil pump or valve and seals, come on man, Im sure you get where I am coming from, however one needs the required tools to make it perfect ie torque range and timing kits etc! Okay, I'm going to side with Lejeun and Co. No. Always easier to take apart than put back together. |

Thanks. Sorry but that's not a thing I do on the regular and based on the last time I did it for someone will not be doing it again. Plus, the VIN looks European. |

Rhemmymatician: Dear Carlanders,
I bought a RX300 as foreign toks Oct 2018. I used t religiously and reliably until December 2019 when I noticed it was smoking a little and the engine oil was always getting short. My mechanic said I need to ring it or change the engine. I was stunned because I didn't expect any problem so soon.
In total I paid 120,000 and he said the job was done and Okay. I didnt note any special difference in the engine either sound or efficiency (maybe because I'm an untrained ear) but the engine didn't get short again.
Fast forward to February 14 I was driving at about 120km/hr and the vehicle started jerking. My mechanic diagnosed fuel pump as the problem and I paid about 14k or so. A few days after the vehicle started going off on motion. At first it started immedately after I try to turn it back on. but afterwards it takes a longer time to start after going off.
I took it to another mechanic who diagnosed the catalyst as the problem. About N50,000 after. He said the vehicle stopped going off (till date)
The problem is the vehicle has started shorting oil and smoking again
Please guys what could be the problem Schedule an appointment and bring the car for diagnosis proper. Contact information is in my signature. |

Eizenburg: First off, customer service was really good, Seun was 10/10. Only downside was that I didn’t get to talk to a technical person directly, might have made the decision process a bit easier for me; having her as an intermediary wasn’t the best, she held her own though.
I asked to speak with Glen, and he was very available and very accommodating, I liked that.
Should be there again the week after, for the actual fixes on the car. Final verdict on hold till then. Hope I’ll get my three fold discount; New Year, New Customer and Nairaland.  To be continued  |
