Oh
Alright thanks for your response

You're welcome..
But in my own opinion, both are too fragile for that kind of work as they carry a 1.4 litre engine which is too weak for that kind of workload.

My advise, go for cars with at least 1.8 litre engine and at most 2.2 litre engine. That way, less wear and tear in the engine

Pls my Oga Tpound
Which is better for Bolt
Honda City or Toyota Yaris?
In terms of maintenance and cost of parts

I know both are fuel economical, but which is better?
Thanks

If you must go for both, I'll prefer Yaris because city uses a CVT transmission...

That means higher cost of maintenance

Brake pads are 2 pairs in each wheel, so how can?


when you have a bad calipher, one pad tends to wear off quicker than the other.
When it does, the flattest amongst the pads then observe "prison break" grin

Good evening bosses
I have been on the look out for a car to get and what has really surprised me most us with the cost of toyota solara cars.

Is there any reason why the cars are relatively cheaper than other models of Toyota?

Also, what car would you advice a first car owner to get range of 2.5 to 3 million (good nigerian used)?

Solara is simply the coupe version of Camry.
Just as matrix is the hatchback version of corolla.

This trim (Coupe) is distasteful in the mouth of Nigerians.

Regarding what type of car you want as a First timer, there are some questions I would have loved to ask before determining the best option for you...

Car Talk / Re: What's The Solution To Car Engine Smoking by TPound(m): 2:02pm On Jul 17, 2023
Danfederal:
Dear experts and great mechanics in the house, I've seen lots of ads online about cars where the description says "engine smoking"

Out of curiosity, and the urge to always learn more and new things, I love to ask these few questions

1. "engine smoking" What does it mean.? Cause of it?
2. What's the solution, replayment or some sort of work in it?

I only created this thread for educational purpose, your Candid response might be helpful to someone. Thanks

Depends on the kind of smoke...
Black,white or blue...
That will determine if the engine can be saved or overhauled

I have problem with my 2001 Benz w203 c200 kompressor as it has refused to start.

Before it stopped working, it displayed check engine light and ' stop engine off' on the dashboard and I experienced hard starting for 2 days before it stopped starting.Now, the car has refused to start and different auto electricians have come to inspect d car and they scanned it n said it is d brain box
Over 10 brain boxes have been tried on it but all to no avail. Two complete brain boxes with keys were tried but it still didn't start.
I urgently need help.

Loose manifold from engine and start.
If it does, catalyst is blocked

Good afternoon all.
I've said it repeatedly that I don't run a charity organisation.
If I'm helping you with something, please respect the time and effort utilized into your request.
It hurts to go from outside lagos to the market and after getting your request, you go AWOL.
If not anything, consider the transport fare I have to spend and the time wasted when you know deep down in your heart that you're not ready.
Even the 5k consultation fee I charge doesn't cover logistics alone, yet I accept to do it because I know you needed that assistance.
If you're not ready to engage me, please don't contact me.
If you can't pay the consultation fee, please try hit the road and get what you need yourself at the market.
I'm done engaging in fruitless efforts and time wasting.
Have a lovely weekend beautiful people

Are there any Ssangyong specialists or Ssangyong brainbox programmers in Lagos?

If I recollect, it's the same platform as Mercedes Benz.
A Benz programmer should be able to program it

Help! My Car Gets Overheating Faster When I Drive with AC On.

The name of the car is Toyota Camry 2003.

I have fixed the head gasket, Airflow system, serviced with fresh oil, and flushed the Radiator but still didn’t work but improves the condition a little.

Right now, the car drives well for a short distance and get overheated after a short period of driving with AC On.

I also observed today that 1 out of the 2 fans is not spinning very well infact air from one for the fans is not felt compare to its counterpart.

I have tried to explain all my observation so that I can get help from experienced users.

I have also used coolant but still didn’t work.

How do I know the culprits now ? The water pump, Radiator, or could it be that only one fan works instead of the 2.

Kindly note only one fan works very well and the second fan is not spinning well.

Thanks for your contributions.

Change fan.
It's weak

Greetings everyone. I've had this on my thighs and under my scrotum for a while now and I've tried to get rid of it but it's still there. Please who knows what it is and how can I truly get rid of it because I'm worried.

I bath twice a day and I don't wear a boxer for more than 12 hours. I shave regularly too so I'm confused.

The skin area is white and sometimes falls off when I scratch it, but the marks are there and the whiteness still.

The Crivicin... One morning, one night.
Vit-C once daily.
The ointment, apply in the morning and night after you bathe.
Properly wipe off any moisture in the affected area before applying the ointment.
Good luck
