The topic of your query is the put-off. People like me clicked out of curiosity. Guess you mean 'Discusssion continues' in local parlance. The gurus will prefer something like '2006 Honda Accord, 4 or 6 plugs'? Meanwhile, wait they are coming.

Chief, I'm interested in this. My brake('02,V40) is not 'sharp', behaves like that of the guy you responded. I have changed the 'Master'& d 'servo'still brake goes flat before braking. Parking brake is not that effective. Could it be the brake problem?

For the AC, I don't know if mine is manual or otherwise. It's working but drags the engine? What's d relationship?

Wah wah wah... E pain am.

When you leave Mercedes and jump directly into Toyota, you're upgrading a whole 16 steps. Plus you're now safe from sudden unexplained fire that comes with Mercedes models. Stop giving false information cheesy

Funny list. See Mazda and Subaru grin grin

Dear all,
Kindly advice on what to do pls:
I noticed my toyota sienna 1999 model jerking and not speeding up at first after I left the car wash for engine washing. Though the guy covered the alternator and plug area with polythene bag before washing the engine.
Thanks in anticipation.

Please I have an issue with my car. I am a learner , while driving I discovered that the steering and the brake will just suddenly become stiff if I try to press the brake it will be very hard to press not until I put off the engine and restart before it becomes normal. Can anyone educate me on what is happening with my car ?
Involve a mechanic and learn one or two things from him as a learner

Hello everyone

Which should I buy?: 2007 Toyota Avaln vs 2007 Toyota Corolla
I want to buy a car in the near future and I am turn between an Avalon and a Corolla 2007. Based on my price review on Jiji, both vehicle are within the same price range of N1.8million - N2.2million for foreign use depending on condition and seller.

I'll like to ask Nairalanders who have experience using any of these cars to advice which will be better for a personal user with no plans for long distance travel or ride hailing.

My key concern is aroung.
1. Cost of servicing
2. Repairs and maintenance.
3. Fuel consumption
4. Overall driving experience.

Thanks for you feedbacks
From the concern listed, go for the Corolla

my brother, it gets to a point in life where u see the problem someone is facing and u know that the first aid is to distract the victim first (for a hard laugh) before telling him the hard truth!

na so dem tell my cousin that year, no buy passat carry am come back naija....
the guy say, no mehn.... I love the darn ride....

pally carry the ride come back naija, enter owerri with terrible roads @ Ihiagwa......

short story, after 4months of smooth cruising.... the ride spent 2 days out of every week with the mechanic till it was totalled when brake failed and my bro left the ride like that ..... @ mechanic village, old nekede... till date!

mechanics wey never fix Toyota finish, na passat dem wan fix

Some of us learn by experience. Believe there is solution to every problem. Someone somewhere should have an average knowledge of Passage parasitic drain. Gazzuzz may too even though it's an unsupported brand. That's why this is cartalk, to assist each other as Nigerians. What do a 'local'man know!

Hmmm. The price listed on the board was taken from the office of the Gm of mvaa. Go through the process. The 33k includes insurance and Roadworthiness Certificate. It is a process that you can do. I got my driver's license by myself and it gave me much assurance on the road. There are two cars attached to a number and it is common in Lagos. Maybe we should get together, those who want to get number plates and we will all follow the procedures together. It is the price that we have to pay to end the fraud in the system. The one that makes me angry the most is the cmr. The cmr is charged at 1000 per vehicle and they will give you a photocopy of the receipt with 9 other vehicles. They collect 10k and issue 1k receipt. On the cmr certificate, it's stated that the cost is 100 naira but on the mvaa price list, it is 1k per vehicle. They also charge 500 naira for customs and 500 for police. I called the customs office and they told me to ask mvaa which account number was the money paid to. If we don't do something now, we will join those who will buy a car and start saving money for number plate.
Good point made Boss. The transparency is the problem. Can a 'local'man walk into mvaa office boldly to get plate number without them indirectly referring you to touts
