Originalsly: Do you have a driver licence?....did you get it legally? Your licence should be revoked...you charged for reckless driving and thrown in jail...then sentenced to prison. On release..you shouldn't be seen in or near to a car. It is arrogant, ignorant and reckless people like you that be causing carnage on the roads. Thank God for bad roads..or the carnage would be worse with ignoramus like you behind the wheels. I just hope the injured would get their hands on this your statement/thread and use it in a court to get whatever compensation they can from you.
My advice.....go to the Police as soon as possible. ... make a report of the accident...tell them exactly what you told us... make it very clear he had no c caution sign but the hazard lights were on..., they will know what to do.
sultaan: How in the world do you mess up a 2010 engine? That baby is just breaking in at that mileage in this modern cars with proper lube and maintenance

You know what? I, Radutoworks AKA aunty radu (OMG my phone has added it to autocorrect), do solemnly swear to thebigkendo that I will cease kicking rightwrongauto in the gonads no matter what he says next.
SmartToyota: Nah, a call or WhatsApp is actually much preferable. Firstly identify which engine, secondly there are different brands available, which brand do you have in mind? Estimate 200,000.
2.4L. I don't know what brands you carry..
Nm though. Was trying to save someone money but we are only about 20k apart. Thanks!

asamwababy: Madam i respect you guys for dropping this tranny of the jaguar X type. v A popular autoshop in Ikeja took 1 month to drop engine and tranny.
Eventually, i abandoned car with them for 6 months as i was tired of constant follow up before they provided a Kazeem solution to my issue.
Vehicle was eventually sold at a stupid price because each time the Jag goes in there it comes out with a bill of nothing less than 200k.
Ev
Congratulate us when we get it back IN lol. Just joking. We're used to dropping these. If parts are available, we have 2-3 day turnaround for these.
obekediamondfuto: they shouldn't na, but they will..... the ideal is still work in progress!!!
lolz @ wifey...... so is giving birth.... but the world today........ hmmmmph do we kill them? no!
we will find a way to manage them..... hence the kazeems for car owners..... unfortunately or in this case.... fortunately...... they will still be thriving!!!
how far the baby? is rightautoway coming to pay homage to the newborn prince?
Sad but true. I don't begrudge any man putting bread on the table but not at other's expense.
Okay, except maybe RightWayauto. Leave that one too one side. When princess is born it's kings and queens I want her to meet first. Then when she is older she will be exiled to the peasants to learn survival heh heh
ivoryhouse: Oh my, I'm just seeing this. Oga, there's really no need for you to insult anyone. If the driver of the other car had left their hazards on, then you should have avoided the accident, unless you were driving at a high speed or you were following the Toyota Venza really close. You may try your luck and see if the owner will pity you and offset some of your expenses, but remember if you HIT him from behind, you're at fault already. You came here to seek advise and I advise you take all opinions with humility. Goodluck
Welcome to the dark side
Actually, re-reading (which I had to do a lot), seems he avoided rear ending the car by flipping his car and sending three of his passengers to the hospital with serious injuries.. so I'm even more confused about who the other party is that is supposed to pay for this.
radautoworks: WHAT IS THIS OBSESSION ON NAIRALAND WITH "REPLACE ENGINE" AND "REPLACE COMPRESSOR/CONDENSER"??
Most of the time, that is not necessary and is only recommended because they either can't or won't diagnose what actual component in the system is causing the problem so they just replace the whole system.
Here's another example. 2010 BMW 325i. Car was at another dealership and wouldn't start. Of course you know what their solution was. Turns out after taking it apart it was just a camshaft bolt that broke in the head. No new engine required.
UPDATE: THE SAGA CONTINUES so the bolt was as a result of a thirsty seized camshaft. SO... camshaft had to go!
Score another one for team rebuild... Though technically this one isn't.
2010 BMW 325i brought in from elsewhere not running. Want to take a stab at the problem that had it sitting there all this time? If you've seen our ig, you'll already know
Hexilon: Weeks back, I inquired for price of a 1MZ engine with VVTi for a Toyota Avalon in the cartalk chatroom and received a mention asking "Why am replacing engine?"
Prior to my enquiry, car was idling roughly and overheating after every 10 - 30km drive, my technician dismantled engine, replaced parts (bearings, 2 pistons and other stuffs) , bill was about 90-110k. 2weeks later car overheated, crankshaft knocked, in fact bad bad things happened.
Conclusion: Grade A Japan engine 270k Borale I heard is between 110 - 160k .
If na you, you go rebuild or replace ??
Modified I nearly rebuild the technician face
If it was us, we would have been responsible for it all and fixed it
