Please help o. My Honda accord 94(acadeny) suddenly just started revving high before shift to second gear. It just started suddenly today immediately I left the mechanic after he changed the inner cup. Please what's the likely faults becos I took it for scanning and the guy said the port isn't there.
First check the fluid level and then if you have a check engine light and the right tool check for a transmission code. Fluid level is our hunch though. Sometimes when they take CV joint out, fluid runs and they don't top off.

150k, how? Break it down please.
I'll like to change the 4 control arms, lower and upper.
This is a 2005 car, I am sure none of these suspension parts has been changed abroad b4 I got the car.
I just wanna do a complete change and have that brand new feel.

That will be really good news
Without the control arms it adds up to just under 150k would have to see what's really needed when you come in and give recommendation. No need to change just to feel good if they are up to par.

i am getting a p0304 error code,... misfire no 4 cylinder
Oil soaks affecting the plug on the 4th cylinder.
Have to top up with engine oil frequently
Seal rings was suggested but no guarantee from my kazeem
Are you guaranteeing me that it can be fixed with out buying a tokunbo engine and at what cost?
Glen says without seeing it and because of the age he will recommend get the tokunbo because of the lack of availability of non standard rings.

Sorry, was my Dad's 80th birthday today. Big celebration.

Good Morning All and Happy new month.

For a while now I have been battling with this code on my 2007 Toyota Camry I4

P0456 evaporative emission, small Leak detected.

I have changed fuel tank cap, checked the purge valve close to the air box for leak but none.

Please anyone who have encountered this and got it resolved should help.

Thanks in Anticipation
Did you check the fuel tank itself? He might have cracked it trying to fix the pump. Even a micro-crack it chip could set it off.
Car Talk › Re: Why Always Toyota with horrible problems? by radautoworks: 3:52am On Sep 03, 2019
The only reason Toyotas seem to have more faults is simple. There are more of them on the road. They are number 2 in sales in the US and number 1 in the world. Honda by comparison is number 4 in the US and number 7 in the world.

If you however look at the PROPORTION versus other makes, it's less. It's like saying how come more accidents happen in the USA? There are MORE CARS there. Proportionally, they can not touch Naija grin

No too much noise you are better with a RX300 than a EOD because

The Lexus comes well equipped, luxurious, good ground clearance, a well balanced Engine and power. The EOD isn't bad if you are after fuel economy EOD 05 or DC06-07 is better than EOD03-04
Yay! I finally disagree with you. As a first car, the "EOD" is a better bet in maintenance and learning curve. Also fuel economy.

Hello, please do you install Honda 2.4 litre tokunbo engine for your client.

1. Will you be able to do verfification for the tokunbo engine that it is fit for purpose (i do not want to be sold a nigerian used engine)
2. How long does installation take
3. How much do you charge

thanks.
Hello,

Yes we do.
1) it would be up to client to procure their engine because we do not want in any way to be liable for a third party engine.
2) what year and model is it?
3). Can answer once I know year and model.

Aye. Understood.

Running all 4 rotors is unwanted wallet dent in back to school season though

How much does it cost to resurface? I think they are still within spec
I understand. Resurfacing is N5,000 per pair of within spec. Wouldn't recommend replacement if they can be resurfaced.

Ok. Asked cause I saw a pair of 'Carquest Wearever' on the site for $45

https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/carquest-wearever-coated-rotor-rear-yh145553c/11290064-P
Yes, those are US Prices. Nigeria prices are different and decided by head office in Florida. The ones you saw are not available .

See below. DC means head office in Florida, Network means one of the other 29 distribution centers like us and store is us,and there are zero available. Even if there were, they weigh about 50 20 pounds (sorry, typo) each and make no sense to air freight.

I would say your labour cost is pretty modest, just that every quoted part needed is to be imported and it really drove the cost high. In the course of time I would cherry pick the sensitive repairs, come with my parts, and just pay for labour instead.

Thanks for asking.
We actually don't charge for shipping. Would have been the same price in stock but yes, definitely people don't know we do installations with customer parts but we do. And thank you for recognizing or labor is modest. It's part of how we try to make up for the parts.

Last column is prices for new. I'm sure if you look online you can get cheaper and then ship to Nigeria. I can't vouch for brand though.
