Hello Lexus lovers,
I have an issue with my Rx300.
I was driving back home when suddenly my steering became very stiff.I managed to manoeuvre and park the car for checks.
I discovered that my steering oil was empty to my amazement even though it was not so when I conducted prestart checks in the morning.
I bought holts power steering fluid to refill only for me to observe it leaks out entirely after I switch on my ignition.

I managed to drive the car with a stiff steering to my mechanic who said my power steering beam/rack is bad and he gave me two options

1.a refit that would cost about 20k

2. procure a tokumbo power steering rack for about 40k but I'm made to understand that some of these tokumbo power steering rack are refitted.

Here are my questions.

a)Is the price for a tokumbo power steering that expensive or my mechanic is trying to hammer from my misery.

b)should I go for the refit since there's a chance I'll be buying a refit if I decide to get a replacement, how advisable is it to do a refit

please note this car is in Warri and all prices are from Warri spare parts market and the power steering pump has been disconnected allowing me drive the stiff car in manual mode pending when I decide on what to do, is this advisable

Case 2)Prior to the stiff steering incident, I realized my gear always got stuck in P no matter what I did. I made a small search on Google only to discover that the most likely reason would be a faulty break switch and temporary solution was to press the white button above the gear selector.I was able to take the care to my electrician who managed to get it working but didn't change the brake switch.my guess is that he bypasses the switch.after wards I realized that my brake lights now come on but occasionally I do get the gear selector stuck on P.

How much is a brake switch or should I continue to manage the bypass?

Can I get a trusted honest contact of someone in ladipo market Lagos who can help me find out the true cost of a 2001 Lexus Rx300 power steering rack as well as a brake switch

She just finished Nysc so she no longer works but I do.

referencing your response number 4, can she indicate the husband as sponsor with accompanying payslips and bank soa even though the husband is not applying.

Ayluvparis:



Let me answer ur question one after tje other.

1. Yes husband's cousin is fine(if u can get a doc to back dat up kewl) but u need not worry about dat if u dont av any.all d times I av been to canada I got an invite from ma friends so husband's cousin shouldn be an ish.

2.indicating 2 weeks is fine .when u are being issued a visa, u can stay in d country for up to 6 months unless the officer at the POE stamps a different time frame on ur passport.

3. Instead of depositing 500k in her acc and urs I had advice u to deposit in 1 acc peferably hers since shes working and dont make it a lump sum deposit.it will make more sense if d deposit is simplified.

4.i beg of u do not use any sponsor for such.its a big minus for u to be considered.it demerits u in a lot of ways so stay clear of dat option.

If u av any oda quest do not hesitate to throw it open.cheers

Your case really peculiar as you said smiley

1. Is your cousin going to be sending an IV to ur wife? If yes , it doesn't matter if you don't bear the same name. If she wants to be specific, she can put her married name then née ( her father's name).

2. Let her keep her own passport and attach marriage certificate and when visa is granted, she should make sure she travels along with the marriage certificate cuz she will be asked

3. You can use anyone just make sure you r truthful on your application.

4. Have enough that will cover her medical expenses



Hello House,
Please i have some questions that i need clear guidance on.

Here's the background case.I am trying to apply for Visitor visit visa for my wife.My cousin who is a PR in canada is inviting my wife over for birth tourism purpose.I will not be following her to Canada. She's 4 months pregnant and would love to deliver in Canada.She recently stopped working as she completed her NYSC as a medical officer in October 2015.

Here are the grey arears i need to clear.

1.Filling the TRV forms

a)Relationship of applicant to the invitee:can she write Husband's cousin?
b)Duration of stay:Can i just indicate two weeks (mid feb 2016-end 0f feb 2016) with return tickets procured at the POE but stay for 2 to 3 months until after the delivery still within the validity of the Visa.Reason she's planning to indicate two weeks on the form is because of available cash (approx 4000CAD) even though accommodation and feeding will be taken care of by My cousin.
c)Her account is recently depleted as well as mine because we recently got married(October 31st 2015) but i am getting some monies from people I loaned money to as well as my wife's brother planning to give her some money....How do I go about presenting this sudden funds to avoid flagging the Money lodgement signal.Both accounts have been active for the past six months with about 100K coming into wife's account monthly and about 200K into mine monthly but most have been spent on the wedding and i'm trying to raise about 1mil before applying this december i.e about 500K into my account and 500K into her account prior to application...is this advisable or i should just apply stating the the TRV form that 4000CAD is available for the trip even if the bank statement does not reflect upto half this amount as at the time of application but the statement indicate money coming in and going out?

d) can I use my wife's sister in law(My wife's brother's wife) as sponsor who is a business woman with good bank account statement in addition to the husband's SOA as well as the applicant's too ?

e) if yes to d,can I add her to the family information form even though she is not a direct brother or sister to the applicant but a sister inlaw?

Experts Kindly weight in on this.

Thank you for your time in advance.

Hello house,kindly help me with my earlier enquiry.
Travel / Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Top9jajamz: 5:09pm On Nov 26, 2015
Hello house,
I've got a peculiar case that I don't believe has been dealt with on this thread.
I'm recently married and my wife is 3 months preg.
my elderly cousin who is a citizen in Canada has agreed to host my wife over in Canada for birth tourism purpose. here are my issues.

1. My cousin is female and married for over 27yrs hence no longer shares same surname as I do so it's difficult to prove close family ties to me or to my wife if she eventually decides to use my surname.

2. My wife has previous travel history to Dubai as a spinster.I think that'll be an advantage however I'm made to understand that if she does change of name on passport, she'll be issued a new passport resulting to loss of previous travel history.
Can we apply for the visa using the old passport with her maiden name but still attach marriage certificate and other proofs of marriage to show strong ties to Nigeria.

3.what's the best application to fill for birth tourism.
Visiting visa application or Tourism visa

4. How much minimum is advice able to be in account as at the time of printing bank statement.Also hope lump sum payments will not be frowned at like the UK does?

R134a is R134a anywhere except its aldultrated or not a quality product (trust china and our desperate naija con men na).

PAG46 is a lube for compressor only, you'll need a small amount. However, read thru this https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110702170839AACkIHw

Toyota/lexus configured the fan to stay off till the engine attains max warm temperature, if its surpassing that temp, the system turns on the fan for some seconds then off. In my Highlander, on cold days, only the Left side (when your inside the car)fan turns, but on hot days, both fans spin at high velocity. Same applies to my RX330. However, when I engage AC, both fans spins at high velocity.



See the last response I gave above about my own cooling fan fan system.


Thanks for your prompt response.
I took the Lexus rx300 for a refill and the AC guy brought on SOLKANE refill gas as well as one BILFAM ND 8 oil in a Lacasera kind of looking bottle for the compressor.

I wasn't comfortable with either brands so I suspended the process to get further advice.Now my questions follow

1) is there any known R134a refill Brand for AC systems(instead of SOLKANE) as well as a known brand for PAG46 compressor oil instead of BILFAM ND8?

2) Can i go ahead with refilling without the compressor oil?

3) if Yes,what quantity is good enough

Golf Mike gentlemen,
I'm back again for your advices and I believe you will respond with same gesture as before.
Yesterday, I drove through a pool of water and immediately afterwards I heard a noise in my engine bay when I turned my Ac on.
When I stopped to observe the abnormally,I discovered that five(5) out of the seven(7) AC fan blades had broken off.
I have it to "Kazeem" to replace the blades since he was the only one working on that sunday.
kazeem in the process of removing the radiator and Ac fan removed the AC condenser and in the process let out all the Ac gas.

Now here are my questions.

1) is the anything like original Ac gas or any R-134a refil gas will do.

2)I was doing my research about refilling and came across the need for PAG46 oil.Will i need to put oil as well as R-134a refil gas.


3)Both Fans do not come on immediately the ignition is turned On until the Car temperature rises to a considerable level unlike before when the Engine fan comes on immediately the car is operational then the other fan comes up after sometime or when the Ac is switched on.

Please what is correct operation mode of both fans

A)One comes up immediately then the other after the car temp rises.

or

B)both come up when the Car temp rises and both go off after the thermostats cuts off?

thank you as you reply

Hello House

I use a Lexus rx300 and I have a CEL light which is caused by P1155, bad AF sensor.that's the only code from a scan.I gave my mechanic the task to replace
however I just realized my mechanic used a wrong part as replacement(an O2 sensor rather than Af sensor)
the original part number is 89467-48011 but the one used by my mech is 89465
I still get my P1155 despite the replacement
I would like to find out if you have the AF sensor and price or a work around to use the O2 in place of the AF sensor since they're almost same
Also can the old faulty sensor be fixed in anyway(say soaking in hydraulic oil or any other possible hack).
thanks

Thank you all for your contributions,I've learnt something from each post.
I finally got the engine fixed however its not as silent in idle running condition as observed by the driver who drove the vehicle initially when
it "knocked".
The Mechanic advised me not to turn on the AC for at least 5 Days to allow the engine acclimatize to its new body(Your opinion on this is needed)
However i realized that there's a discomforting noise coming from the timing belt area in the first 3-5 seconds of raising/accelerating the car.
I plan to get this checked out immediately i locate a Lexus repair specialist in Warri here but until then is it advisable for one to use the car and what could the fault be.
I noticed that the Door indicator light is permanently On despite the fact that all doors are locked and ignition off.
The TRAC OFF light,VSC,CEL, are permanently on.I guess i need to scan the car(please where can I get a person to scan my car in warri)
Finally during the engine change,The electrician bypassed the thermostat so that the cooling Fan comes on immediately the engine is switched on rather than when the engine temperature becomes hot.
Anyone with previous experience and solution on these issues raised above should please spare me a minute of their time and drop probable solutions.

Merci beau coup.

Updates:

A second opinion from a mechanic recommended by a Nlander confirms the Engine is indeed gone.

Going to Ladipo to source for a new engine.

Thank you guys for your contributions. Still a mystery how an Engine could just die without signs.
