babababa1:
You will see me at your place on Tuesday. I have got your phone number and onireke address via search.

Thanks GAZZUZZ. Your observation will be reviewed by timifakay when he test drives.

For test drive or diagnosis?
There's a cost attached.

EgunMogaji:
And we have a winner

So how did you figure it out?

This hint: It doesn't use electricity...
Thought it has to be a complete unit.
Googled bike carton before assembly for dimensions and saw it has similar dimensions with bicycle cartons.
Thank you sir.

Bicycle.

tutuwater:
I had the spark plugs checked and oe of the pllugs is dirty.
All spark plugs changed.
But problem continues.
The injector nozzles will be checked and cleaned tomorrow.

Scan engine.
Were the plugs replaced with Iridium or Platinum tip spark plugs?
Has the throttle body been serviced?

babababa1:
Please does anyone know any good gear rewire or gear mechanic in ibadan. I need to fix my hundai sonata that doesn't select gear well especially on hill. It's beyond my mechanic and somebody suggested I take it to a gear expert.

I suggest you replace the gearbox. Fixing gears is a complete gamble.
By the way, I'm in Ibadan.

Chibzee2:
Alright man, can anyone make available a very very cheap clean used mitsubishi l300 bus for urgent purchase.
In the east preferably.

I hope so...

AntiWailer:
I did not say Benz. I said a car.

And yes

Steering rack - 650,000

Catalytic converter - 360,000

Programming the EPAS - 50, 000

Shock absorber pad - 60,000

Labour - 60,000


Add it together.

That is wat was used to fix a ford explorer in September.

The car is cool with crazy options (auto park, adaptive cruise, intelligent access, Advance Lane tracking system, anti collision sensor)

You cant compare it with camry of course but wen it is time for repairs that was the cost.

Ayam not understanding bolded
What's the correlation between Benz or Toyota and Ford.
OP, no matter what choice you make, do due diligence to ensure its clean title with known service history.

shutupareyouGOD:
Auto guys please help me out....i have a budget of 2million to buy a nice car...what car can I find in price range...i have toyota spider and matrix on my mind...heard rav4 is 2.5..so that's crossed out.

Please don't jump and pass this thread..drop your ideas. Thanks

For me, Matrix is nice.
But final choice depends on your preference.

tutuwater:
But why no answer.
Help a brother please.

If check engine is on, scan vehicle.
If check engine throttle body service.
Replace radiator cap if it has degraded.

Brillantman:
And please she'd more light on this, my Audi A4 transmission light (PDRNS) came up at the same time when I was driving from Lagos to Ibadan, I had no idea of the trouble ahead, I thought it was something kazeems will correct when I get to Ibadan, only to be told that I have to change the gear which I did, I paid 170k for that, after three weeks, kazeem called me that my car is ready, elated because of the car performance that I've missed and which the likes of any Japanese cars that I have couldn't give, I rushed down to pick my car, the third day, same thing happened.. I wept. A friend of mine who is a soldier heard and think that kazeem had robbed me beat him mercilessly until I choose between having my car spoilt indefinitely or kazeem killed through beating by my military friend, I opted for the formal. After much persuasion, kazeem agreed to replace the gear again which he did after a month. I told him to call my military friend when the car is ready that he shouldnt bother contacting me because I've lost interest in the car and his services, he agreed. My friend called me that my car is ready and I went there hastily thinking that all is now well with my choice A4, after driving downtown for 30 minutes, behold, it did happened again. In a nutshell, the car was butchered because I can't risk anything on it again. I miss the car and it's performance, v6. 3.0, heavy and balance on the road, I'm still thinking of buying this particular car again but I want someone who can tell me with all honesty what went wrong with the first one.
Thank you

Nothing about scanning to accurately diagnose. That's what went wrong sir.

Chibzee2:
Please is anyone on any car sales WhatsApp group, I need a certain vehicle urgently.
Please add me on 07039117836

You have a wider reach here. Why not post details of what you want here?

GAZZUZZ:
nope, he said full acquisition o!

By the vineyard!

good188:
I'm using Toyota corolla bank type 2006 , I want to know if this engine oil good to service my car visco 2000_ because that's what mechanic used for me and this is my second time to service the car ,guru in this house help

Its not what the manufacturer recommends, but if you change at regular intervals, say u 3,000 km car should run smoothly.

Vpleasure:
Gooddayy everyone, I have a problem with my 2005 toyota camry when I turn it on. It vibrates even more on reverse or drive. Visited my mechanic and he told me my engine mounts were faulty
which I changed and the problem didn't stop. I have changed my plugs as well and also serviced the car. please car gurus help me out. Cc marpol

Listen to the car by running a scan and having engine diagnosed, not all misfire cases are caused by bad spark plugs.

It vibrates even more on reverse or drive

Maybe your car is ringing on silent mode.

ThisisBuhari:
then they have cheated us,because no disclosure on why is not driveable. atleast they should have state mechanical damage.

@bolded. No, they told you it's a salvage vehicle, drive condition and repair estimate, also furnished you with pictures...

GAZZUZZ:
You remind me of 1 pastor wey say make I dash am my car

Wait. He did not categorically tell you that. He was only seeking for assistance with the car. Could be rent or flexible payment plan.

ThisisBuhari:
Repair Cost: $13659.0

Do you think only boot and bumper will cost so much?
I think there are other things you are overlooking; majorly why the car is not drivable.

GAZZUZZ:

1 origin for u there...

Boyant99:
to purchase your tstv full kit,and get it installed in any part of Nigeria, at an affordable rate, contact 08179592805

Wrong section.
Pictures of installations when you do and quality of service will help.
How much does installation cost?

Egji:
No the coolant level doesn't reduce. I don't allow the car to boil over. Once I notice that it's over heating I turn off the a/c and the temperature returns to normal (i.e. mid way up the gauge)

The fan has been set to always be on the highest speed, because the manual compressor doesn't have the sensor to control the fan when the a/c comes on.

Seek out the low and high speed fan relays in the fuse box as well as the direction of air flow.
Do you still have thermostat?
Whats your car's year of manufacture, mileage and location?

Does your coolant level reduce?
Does fan speed increase when AC is turned on?

We no longer have prayer meetings, we now have curse meetings.

57 year old country that does not have steady power and good roads, how does her economy want to grow?

I'll be glad if you sow those yellow stands you are not using into my life oh.

As recommended on the other thread, bring car to Nigeria first, or contact someone in the USA inspect even underneath to be sure you don't have Chassis and beam damage. (incase you are trying to weigh your options to know if its gonna be a worthwhile project)
So it won't be that you will have to buy half body at the end of the day...
You will have an idea what the extent of damage is from the repair estimate on the auction website...

I am looking for the best possible hotel in Ibadan. The hotel should be situated anywhere inside the circled location in Ibadan. Please recommend. Thanks
By best possible I mean:
1. Internet access
2. Airport shuttle to MMA, Lagos
3. Breakfast inclusive
4. Rooms with safe lock
5. Premises has security
6. Close to a hangout place (e.g., Agodi Gardens or other)
7. Provide/allow companion (if you know what I mean
8. Other

1 Internet can't be guaranteed 100 percent
2 I doubt any hotel will provide the bolded, that's almost 300km round trip.

Premier Hotel falls within the circled area. It's old though.
