Some people can't just drive for long no matter how much chin chin they eat. Just like some people will fall asleep within 5 mins if getting into a car as a passenger. I would ask op not to force it to avoid stories that touch. Or drink a lot of coffee (not those diluted 3 in 1 o... I mean real coffee). If that still doesn't work then he should just avoid driving long distance.
That's true.

Background sound I have tried. I even had to download some Dj mix on my phone yet they sound like blues. Haven't really tried chewing. Any recommendation?

If he wanted to snatch the car, he'll try opening the door before knocking the window, it's when unable to open that he'll call for your attention so you wind down the window in order to hear him, only for him to put his hand in and unlock the door.
I guess he saw something (probably a phone) which he wanted to pick in the center console...

Problem is, how many will buy that thousand others for its build purpose other than to do mall crawling, neighbourhood strolls et al?
That is not the problem of the manufacturer though smiley
Manufacturer's problem is for the cars to leave the showrooms without coming back due to recall issues.

Welds will be weakened, engine, transfer case, differential, transmission will suffer.
Ruining a piece to sell a thousand others isn't a bad idea though.

Hello house, I must commend all for this beautiful thread. No doubt I have missed out alot.
I drive a corolla 2007, just noticed it consumes more fuel these days.
Also it doesn't start once any longer ( hard starting). Please any advice what I could possibly be dealing with.
Cc: oga Gazz & co
Its a wide range, scanning and diagnosis which includes fuel pressure check will be necessary.

Its been abt 6months i used yhe ac last
Jus replaced a compressor and condenser yesterday.
The battery light eventually comes on when i power the ac to level 3.
Like the load too much.
Alternator was changed early this year
The battery was replaced is abt 1n a half years old.
Before the compressor was fixed
Never had any ish .no engine issue and has never had engine issue.
Whe in motion my battery suddenly shows drained at dashboard.
Ibhad to slow down
Park.off ac then start engine.
It repeated same thing 5mins later.
I felt so embarrassed
Humiliated
Restless
Angry
What is going on.
If in Ibadan, I can scan and diagnose vehicle by Thursday.

I greet u.
Honds crv compressor gpt bad.
My ac man changed it to tokunbo manual ac compressor
And also new condenser.
After every.
I went home
Following day
Engine feels heavy and i can fe vibrations.
Then while in motion
Car battery dies and engine turns off.
I am very worried.
What can be the problem.
Why is there so much vibration.
Or is it that the compressor is bad or not fit for d 2008 crv.
Some are saying its rewire ishhhh.
Pls epp me
Compressor and condenser were replaced.
Now you feel vibrations while driving and battery charge is low.
For how long have you been using the car without AC?
How old is the battery?
Is check engine light on?
Is the battery light on while vehicle engine is working?
I have to see vehicle to run a proper scan and diagnosis.
You may have engine performance issues and a dying battery or your rewire might have disconnected the alternator in error of a dead alternator too.

Nuges11:
Hello auto gurus, I would like to seek your expert opinion on these 2 issues I have with my Toyota camry 2003:

1. I observed recently that the car jerks whenever the gear is engaged and I completely press the brake pedal or when I slow down to a stop during motion. The jerking continues as long as I have my leg on the brake pedal but stops when I put the gear in Park. Some times the engine will go off after jerking for a while.

2. I checked my engine oil this morning and discovered it's almost halfway between full and empty. I serviced the car about 2 months ago and since then I've done about 1000km. What could make engine oil reduce without leakage?

Thanks
1. Is the check engine light on?
You need a scan and diagnosis to confirm the exact cause of the problem.

2. Oil shortage could be due to oil burning up in the combustion chamber. Please, always carry some oil in your booth to top with until you can provide a solution.
Car TalkRe: Coolant Reservoir Overflows by timifakay(m): 9:57pm On Sep 18, 2017
gbolly707:
Good day.

Car is a a 2000 toyota Camry, I drove with the thermostat stuck open for more than a year. I changed the thermostat less than a month ago and I bled the system and filled with total coolant. I noticed that the coolant overflows from the coolant reservoir, I saw the mark on the container. Should I be worried , could be a case of system overfill or a more serious underlying issue.

Thank you
Have you replaced the radiator cap?

I guess Toyota are also daft to do the same thing.

picture 1 is Lexus RX330 and picture 2 is Toyota Harrier sold in Japan instead of the Lexus.
Oga the OP's car has Honda and Acura logo on it. A single car is bearing 2 different logos.
Your pictures are 2 identical cars bearing 2 different logos, and none of them bears 2 logos in one car.

Car TalkRe: Let discus overheating And general radiator cooling system ! by timifakay(m): 8:26pm On Sep 17, 2017
holocron:
Don't you think the 2 bolded sentences contradict each other? Your 2nd assertion rhymes with what we are saying. The engine takes a shorter time (than in colder climes) to attain operating temperature (88°C for the toyota sequoia V8). Without thermostat, the water constantly coming in from the radiator is about 50°C - 60°C, gets to the engine and rapidly rises to 88 degrees before moving on to the radiator.
On the average, cars operate within the 88°c to 97°c temperature range. This means that at start up when cold, the thermostat is shut till vehicle reaches 88°c. This ensures the coolant temperature rises rapidly.
Then the fan only works when the upper temperature range of 97°c is attained and it goes off when temperature drops to lower operating limit of 88°c.
But when the thermostat is out and fan works at all times, the temperature takes longer to rise to minimum limit and never attains maximum limit.

From time immemorial, lots of atrocities are committed with taxis. Right now, 99% of taxis in ibadan are Nissan Micra, which automatically makes it what the evil men will use for their evil doings.
The size of Micra and cheap cost of maintenance has allowed the lawless drivers to afford more recklessness. They can make over 2k profit within 6 hours. Imagine working for 15 hours, that's more money for booze and...

what could possibly make a car(Ford fusion 2013 model) to vibrate when the A/C is switched on. Sometimes, the engine goes off.
Low RPM could be responsible, do a throttle body service.
