Noah Rotim, I have sent a request to your email for additional info regarding your post.Kindly check it and respond promptly. Thx

To anyone with current info: how much do you think it will cost to replace the tranny of this car under review - to save myself the trouble of recurrent repairs? What's the present selling price of this component in the auto parts market? Thank y'all.

Siena, thx ever so much for your input here. Av really been looking forward to your contribution in this matter. The lub was changed a couple of months ago but i notice some kind of wetness around the tranny casing. I'm yet to ascertain the source.
@Salesauto, appreciate your response. Will give you a call as soon as i'm around to do a thorough check up on the car. Keep it up!
@Siena, av not been seeing a lot of your contributions lately - particularly on German rides which I kind of fancy myself. Really planning to lay my hands on one of these Audis pretty soon, the A4 being my favrit tho'. Let me also request for your email addy here. Need your candid advice on career in the auto industry. Would really appreciate your positive response.
Cheers!

I actually use Mobil ATF 220 transmission fluid as the lubricant. Of late, the thing has worsened: when trying to slow down, it grips the engine and have to shift gear to neutral to prevent the engine from being stopped. Then I engage drive and it accelerates normally. What do I need to quickly fix in the transmission system before it finally beaks down? Thx once again.

Can you pls clarify your email and phone number. They seem to be mixed up in your post - or is that your email? Thx!

Sond73, out of curiousity and a need for second income source, what exactly are the bisuness opportunities you are talking about here? And what d'you mean by 'intimacy' among the details requested? I stay in Ikorodu,

Salesauto, thx for your response! On startup, my tachometre [engine speed gauge] reads somewhere between 900 & 1200 rpm - tho i'm planning to get my carburettor specialist adjust and regulate this anomaly. But on the average, it stabilizes @ about 1000 on idle.
Is it true that it's always advisable to replace faulty parts on honda cars when they begin to misbehave, especially the transmission - if it's auto - rather than attempt to repair?

@ Poster
I need your candid advice on this big challenge: I cruise a '90 civic 1.6 GL with auto trasmission ( I guess this oldie may not be scannable?) It accelerates fairly well, but during decceleration, it does not down shift normally and the transmission tends to 'grip' the engine almost to a stalling point- barely releasing it at about 300 rpm. What is the cause, and what EXACTLY do i need to repair/replace so i can advise my mechanic? Thx!

. . . but you specified 'power windows'. They dont look powered to me . . .

Let's see how clean the interior is - give us a comprehensive pix

Thanks, Diasporian. Very good question. I must say as well that I've not read any recent posts by Siena, or seen his contributions in recent times. Man, where are thou art?

Finally! I'm glad. Siena, keep da oil flowin, By the way, what's your feel on Korean autos - particularly the new generation Hyundai Accent and Kia Rio/Picanto? Do give a pretty much low-down technically on their drive trains

i quite agree!

For any one with idea, pls a vehicle diagnostic centre in Ikeja / Ikorodu axis is also required. Anyone with good info pls kindly oblige.

R_o_b_b_y, i feel u. Glad to hav a "plane freak" on board. Ignore those saying this is an 'autos' thread. Anything that has wheels and can outrun your legs should qualify here. Used to be xtremly fascinated by planes esp. the 747s. Imagine a massive metal of some 300 tons lifting at crazy speeds of up to 1200km/h [ave.] at an alt. of 35,000ft. Real cool.! I'm always dazed when i happen to witness some goog landing with that beautiul landing 'screech' on the runway. can't enjoy any film without a good deal of aerobatic display.
Have you happened to watch fighters like the F18 Tomcat or similar landing on an aircraft carrier esp. on a wide screen? with all the attendant sound efx, u get the bumps all over ya, Fill me.

Siena, i did ask somewhere about your feel on Japs autos: Civic, Accord, Mazda6, Mit Galant, and the likes. Your response appreciated.
Viperman, long time i read your input. Pls throw in a line or two . . .
Thx y'all

Siena, how waz ur weekend? just want more light on the 'offset' stuff [or u prefer the "Ask Siena, "thread for questions?] How do you work out the offset of your car tyre - is it indicated on the tyre? if so, how can i quickly know this?
And what is your next project?

Siena, i know u r into VW and related stuff! But here's some diversion. MAZDA 6. NISSAN SENTRA. HONDA ACCORD/CIVIC. What's your feel on these japs? Need a comprehensive report. Sorry for the pains.

@ godfadda6

I cant help but notice your email ad quoted: deji lawani. . . Question is, do you happen to know these guys: Femi and Kunle Lawani? They lived in Bodija, Ibadan and we attended Methodist Gramms, Bodija together in the mid 80s. I need to know their whereabouts. Pls feed me if u know som'thn 'bout'em.
Thx.

Siena, can hold my comments no longer! I'm stunned by your presentation and final result. Absolutely thrilling! Excellent result. You make me renew my interest in AUDI autos, tho' still have some reservations - as it applies to naija: running cost, spares, . . . I'm more thrilled by what's loaded in any auto's interior - the sound system. So, i'm waiting to feel da bass.
More oil to,

[TEARDROPS!] Meeennnn, u guys jus' rush in da good ol' days, can't help but join in on this. Just finishin' my secondary level then, uhmm! those sweet words initiating the transformation process,
                                        "Activate interlocks.
                                         Dyno-therms connected.
                                         Infracells up,
                                         Mega-thrusters on,
                                         Go . . .
And then u are thrilled to the marrow [my fav. part] to see each of the lions coming out from underwater, undertree, underrock, and some other bases. I saw VOLTRON recently, last month or so, from one of those channels - NTA, i think, and i was glued. Those days, my brother and I were always fighting for space. God help anybody to disturb us. NEPA, it was serious prayer for their cooperation.
Then another gr8 fav. was FRAGGLE ROCK and TERRA HAWKS. Boy! I loved these arresters. They made my days. Like others have expressed earlier, today's generation, i feel sorry for them - having to put up with, damn!, Teletubbies! [rubbish]. Cant agree more with the guy that said today's kids would become dummies with such stupid progs. Thankfully, another nice favorite - TOM AND JERRY [DVD] - makes a gr8 companion for me and my daughter.
My fav. xters on FRAGGLE ROCK: RED, MOKEY, GLOBO [and his ever traveling Uncle].
Then, TERRA HAWKS. I remember one of round [ball] fighters no. 55 who always expressed himself in some french accent [and getting into trouble with it]. Love those sci-fi presentations. Can someone pls give me a current link to them? Then Good old Sesame Street. A prog. i watched for over 20 yrs, damn! how time flew, those were TV  progs. back in the days.

Hello evry1! A Glorious 2008 to Seun and evry single nairalander around da globe.
@Babree - i like your style. Tell me, i like a Mazda 6 - 2003 or therabout (american). What would i need to part with for this? likewise a Honda Accord 1994-97? Fill me.

I'm so glad to see that an artiste like Eben can come up mentioned on this medium. And, i've been looking for this guy's cd since the time he came to perform [twice] in my church - Winner's Chapel, Ikorodu. He did a few tracks from his album "On the Rock", including hits like "Iwo Nikan" and "I don Hammer". The guy escaped before i could ask him about getting his works. I tell you - they are awesome output.
Still seriously searching, so if anyone comes up with getting his CD, pls let's know.

I feel compelled to join in this very interestin' thread. Aside the fact that i find it useful for my upcoming home project, i like to say this particularly to Oxytech: ur advice is ABSOLUTELY K-R-A-Z-Y! I mean, i laffed my head off while reading it. I like ur 'krazy sense of humor.' Do keep it up, my man!

Very funny, man! U kind of give me a cause for some worry here. I respect ur views but, why rate da Mit. at #3? kindly give more tech. details [objectively]. Again, i like good interior / dashboard illumination, but the toyota disappoints me a bit. The Nissan passes for me more in this regard, but i just have this soft spot for the Montero.  I still like it, sha. Feel me in some more . . . which is more expensive: the pathfy or the montero [total overview, that is?  Thx.

Promise, thx a heap! U r a gem. Ur answer was most insightful. I see a lot of the trims like the ES and LIMITED versions in naija a lot, and it thrills me when i see them. I'm hoping to have any of the 'top-of-the-range' for myself - full options but not with leather [i don't really fancy that] - within the next 1 year. So, in your opinion, what figure should i be looking at to draw from my pocket for a piece of machine like this? And how about maitenance, spare parts availability, reliability . . .? Thx for yours

Hello! auto fans, howz the cruising? Promise 'n' Democrat, how u doin? long time. . . This request is open to all but i specifically want these two guys' opinion: what are the real similarities and differences b/w the Montero Sport and Nativa SUV models? Xpectin . . .

Kdships, does the featured car - Honda Civic - have a manual or automatic transmission?
