Car TalkRe: Mention Any Car Issues You Are Currently Experiencing And We'll Help You Solve I by tonwe(f): 8:49pm On May 24, 2021
Good day.
Please I need help. I drive a Toyota Sienna 2006 model. Late December I drove through a very bad road which bashed the sump and thus flattened the gear filter. I wasn't aware until later in the day when my gear stopped switching gears and the car refused to move. I called my mechanic and he fixed the issue then. He straightened the sump, replaced the gear filter and oil. The car started moving but not without some underlying developments.
1. It would suddenly jerk switching gears ( especially in traffic but move smoothly on any free road or express).
2. It wasn't switching to reverse immediately and I have to go to park turn off and on the ignition before I can go into reverse gear.

The mechanic assured me that it the gears would go back to normal after a while. I've been using the car without any serious ish apart from the 2 mentioned above until
Just about 2-3 weeks ago when the gears would take so long to switch. I was practically crawling on the road then after a while it will pick up and the car would go smoothly until I get to a go slow and I've to slow down, then the process starts all over again. Surprisingly, the car started reversing gears.

My mechanic was not around so I called in another recommended by a friend.
He changed the gear filter and oil again ( my car uses a T-IV). Though when he drained the previous oil the oil was very black.
We tested the car that day and it was a smooth drive as if nothing never went wrong with the gears..only for me to take the car out the next day and I the gear was back to not shifting immediately and I started crawling again.
I called the mechanic to lay the complaint and
he said I had to buy a new gear.

Please what's the way forward for me cos the costing I've been given for the gear replacement is bank breaking for me. I don't have that type of money.


N.B. all the work done on the gear was when the gear was left to cool ( actually overnight and both mechanics worked on it the following morning) cry

GAZZUZZ:
both 2008? Theres over 1.5m difference in price.

Nothing wrong with the outlander, but not very friendly when it comes to parts, and repairs.

The Rav4 is a better deal, but it is over priced due to demand.
Thank you for the feed back. So it's better to go for the RAV4 instead. Can I please get specifics on maintenance and repairs, parts and fuel consumption for the Outlander.
Car TalkRe: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by tonwe(f): 10:56pm On Mar 29, 2017
Please help out I want to purchase a Mitsubishi Outlander 2008. Please I need advise if its okay for me to purchase, Considering maintenance, fuel usage and if any other related pertinent issues in usage of the SUV.
I don't want to use a vehicle that will give me issues or any unnecessary expenses.
I'm considering it as a 2nd option instead of a Toyota RAV4. I know Toyota is low maintence, though. I need opinion on the Mitsubishi Outlander. Thank you

Jokes Etc"a Trip To The Doctor's Office" by tonwe(op): 4:53pm On Feb 06, 2007
An 85-year-old man went to his doctor's office to get a sperm count. The doctor gave the man a jar and said, "Take this jar home and bring back a semen sample tomorrow."


The next day the 85-year-old man reappeared at the doctor's office and gave him the jar, which was as clean and empty as on the previous day. The doctor asked what happened and the man explained: "Well, doc, it's like this - First I tried with my right hand, but nothing. Then I tried with my left hand, but still nothing.



Then I asked my wife for help. She tried with her right hand, then her left, still nothing. She tried with her mouth, first with the teeth in, then with her teeth out, and still nothing. We even called up Arleen, the lady next door and she tried too, first with both hands, then an armpit and she even tried squeezin' it between her knees, but still nothing." The doctor was shocked! "You asked your neighbor?" The old man replied,

"Yep. And no matter what we tried, we still couldn't get the jar open."

Christianity EtcRe: Should We Use Images And Symbols In Our Worship? by tonwe(f): 4:12pm On Jan 12, 2007
@nike4luv
You see thats what you believe ', using symbols and images help them to focus on prayers i.e the use of rosary and stations of the cross.'

Please focus on prayers to God with your spirit, soul and inner mind and not on symbols and images. The word of God says that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit so you dont need symols and images to pray to God. God is in you. You have the life of Christ in you.
Christianity EtcRe: Should We Use Images And Symbols In Our Worship? by tonwe(f): 3:51pm On Jan 12, 2007
@wellborn, wendytida, kare, 4getme

I support you all. The 2nd commandment says,

' thou must not make for yourself an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea. You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods, Exodus20:4'

To support their argument they will even say that God asked Moses to make a brazen serpent when they were in the wilderness. Yes God did say that and Moses made it and those that looked up to it were healed by the snake bites. It was the immediate remedy for the problem at hand. Now do you know that brazen serpent was later destroyed.

'Hezekiah son of Ahaz began to rule over Judah in the third year of King Hoshea’s reign in Israel. He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother was Abijah,* the daughter of Zechariah. He did what was pleasing in the Lord’s sight, just as his ancestor David had done. He removed the pagan shrines, smashed the sacred pillars, and cut down the Asherah poles. He broke up the bronze serpent that Moses had made, because the people of Israel had been burning incense to it to it. The bronze serpent was called Nehushtan'.2 kings 18:3

The Isrealites started reverencing and burning incense to it. Yes they thought they were doing the right thing because that was what saved their forefathers. but they were totally wrong. The bible says those that must worship him should do so in spirit and in truth. Catholics lets call a spade a spade. Its totally wrong. God frowns and condemns images, and symbols. The way they are used is not for rembrance or anything of such. I call it basically "WORSHIP'. It does not necessarily have to be an image or symbol. Just like wendytinda said, it does not have to be an image or symbol, even the things we do that we hold so tight onto are all idols. money in itself is an idol. Remember the story of the rich man who thought of himself has having arrived, what did God do. That very night he died.

In Revelations, after the angel of God had showed John the things that would happen in the end time, twice John fell at his feet in reverence and worship and on those two occasions the angel rebuked him making him rise to his feet that he should not do that to him for he was a mere servant just like us,  

'Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said, “No, don’t worship me. I am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers and sisters who testify about their faith in Jesus. Worship only God. For the essence of prophecy is to give a clear witness for Jesus.*”Revelation 19:10

'and I, John, am the one who heard and saw all these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me. But he said, “No, don’t worship me. I am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers the prophets, as well as all who obey what is written in this book. Worship only God!”22:8-9.


If an angel whom God created man a bit lower than can say that, then should we now make pictures, statues, images, relics and what have you all in the name of remembering. The early church never worshipped God this way or put one thing or the other in their front when praying. In the light of this, I would implore those that do not know this that they should awaken to what God actually wants of us and not let our mind or pleasing ourselves or others all in the name of service to God. 'Tis just religion you are following. MAY GOD HELP US ALL. AMEN
