DICKtator:
Are you serious?

I doubt the other car signalled before moving to his front. How about that?

OkwaIfugo:
Got this Toyota Siena from someone who happened to be the third owner. It came with only the key.

So I went and bought the normal remote went online read about programming did all my best but couldn't programme it.

The remote is good and am far from where I bought it. But they said I should be sure if the car have used a remote before as some do not have receivers.

So I ask.....

1. Do all 1999/2000 Siena use remote.
2. Who can guide me on how to get the remote programmed?


I'm in the eastern part of Nigeria

Well the road in front was clear for me, she dove in at the last possible second and the site of impact was to her rear left end. Honestly I feel she was clearly at fault as no superman could stop my vehicle within a split second as such. I guess gender quality issues played a role there too though but lesson learned nonetheless.

Haba Bros, just like that. It's a two Lane carriage, I at the left land cruiser by the right. I maintained left because there are several corners/junctions by the right and I know most Lagos drivers are psychiatric patients bursting out from corner without thought of safety for other road users.

Besides when has overtaking another vehicle at recommended speed a crime?

nurey:
Seems so people miss read books or law just suit themselves, hitting a Car from behind doesn't justify you are at fault.

I was heading to V. I one day and was doing around 40km/h at Osborne road just after the street light a 2014 land cruiser was by my right and I was speeding to over take when an slowpoke driving a Lexus just cut out from corner, the carina e in front of the land cruiser dodge but the land cruiser driver continue his speed suddenly the Lexus slowed down to enter another corner the land cruiser just swayed directly into my front. I suddenly depress the brake, car didn't brake early, released and depress again, but I kissed the land cruiser Sha. The madam just said driver should go out and look whether I damaged the car or not, I was like wtf u just burst into my front like that, he Apologized Sha saying it's not his fault.

So now tell me, if someone suddenly comes into your front, and you hit their car just like my situation are you saying I am still at fault?

I had an early morning trip about a month ago so I set out of the house around 6am. It was still a little dark and there were light showers. I eased out of my area into the highway and cruised t about 60kmph on the fast lane.

Scene of accident
A woman wanted to turn off from the slow lane into a roadside church but was obstructed by a taxi man who made an abrupt turn into the road after picking a passenger. Through instinct or whatever, the lady swiftly turned back and right into the fast lane which was a clear road from where I was coming from. I slammed o. The brakes but the short time difference, distance and slippery road just had my truck screeching until I Emmys her from behind. I was driving a Hilux and both headlamps and fender got smashed on impact while her Honda had no boot again. She came out apologizing for her error but 30 mins later the story had changed to me be being guilty cos I hit her from behind. These allegations were by new passers by who didn't witness the incident. Eventually I had to part with 30k to fix her car and walk away with my damages.

Which rule states that as long as you hit from behind you're guilty no matter the circumstances? I need clarity please

Conner44:
So... Did you later change it or have it fixed? I meant the gearbox

EEA1:
Still

GAZZUZZ:
I'm sure the pic below is what your vehicle requires,

It is called a front crossmember, if you cannot afford it, stop using the car.

Hello, I bought a 2002 Renault Scenic about 3 weeks ago. Drove it home in the rain and then through a somewhat flooded road around Maicon bus stop Egbeda. I feared the height of the water on the road will be bad for the car but then, I didn't see water vapor from the bonnet or tyre areas suggesting the water didn't really touch the bottom side of my engine.
The car was OK and I did a service, planned to change the transmission oil too. This morning I stared the car, pulled out and removed the the sun shield with the illuminated mirrors and cut the wires leading to the bulbs in the mirrors (one of them sparked very little) because they were hanging low and troubling my head and I doubt it can be fixed well. After that I noticed the audio display and AC display didn't light up again and the AC fan wouldn't come on. But the car still started and drove around. Then about 2 days after the car wouldn't start at all till today.
Two electricians (and a mechanic who didn't do much but change the "starting sensor" have come to check, the last one with his diagnostic kit and all. They find it hard to tell what exactly is wrong with the car. The engine rolls with a good battery, the "starting sensor" has been changed. The last electrician said the plugs weren't "bringing light" and he had to by pass the ECU or so for the fuel pump to bring in fuel, so his conclusion was that the ECU may be faulty but that's not confirmed. He has identified two relays and a fuse that need replacement and that's all and he doesn't even have time to return to complete diagnosis.
The car was not handled roughly by any of the people above, no wires were pulled and disconnected etc. as I watched and asked and gave them my own suggestions of what I read online. The security light goes off once the key is inserted, no error light lights up on the dash, not even the ECU light.
Any experienced person with this car can kindly contact me on the number below, your advice will also be appreciated. Thank you.

Theoritical:
Pls, I need help and urgent response. I noticed a funny sound from the legs of my toyata highlander' 05 model . took it to mechanic' he said my under front beam is dead and need replacement. Which is about 25k' guys, for this recession, 25k is almost a million to me. Pls, is there other alternative or should I just keep using the car ?
& pls, what's the effect of under beam to cars' I really need to be sure b4 I enter one chance. I am base in Benin

Allwility:
Lol, am I confused on this? Not at all. I never said you should cross wires like +ve to -ve...You can go through my posts fa.

What we are discussing is why you must not connect the negative terminal of the good battery to the negative terminal of the dead battery. If there's a spark, it can lead to explosion of the battery.

esimple4u:
nice info bro.. Pls my question is... Should I leave the connection wire that runs from my battery to my car or should I disconnect it while performing this operation... Thanks

Allwility:
That you didn't fry your car on those attempts were all near misses if you know what I mean. Acid batteries produce hydrogen when charged. If you do -ve to -ve connection there are chances of producing a spark which might ignite the hydrogen and explode the battery. The resultant effect might be acid being poured on you or your car's microprocessors being fried.

KORLAR:
Why should the black clip be on an unpainted metal and not the negative terminal?

qwertygeni:
Hello house, l need to know where to buy adhesive used in attaching the rear view mirror to the windscreen cos my mirror just got detached and dropped on me while driving. Also, other possible and workable solutions are welcome.

This is URGENT, please.

Thank you.

For most folks betting their life on manual transmission cars you might want to read the article below because those manual cars are really going into extinction on luxury cars.



Years ago, it was easy to find a wide range of luxury cars with manual transmissions, as they were offered by virtually every manufacturer -- from BMW and Audi to Lexus and Mercedes-Benz. But that's no longer the case: If you're interested in buying a luxury car with a stick shift, you've probably already figured out that there aren't many options left. In fact, you might be wondering if there are any at all. We did a little research, and here's what we discovered.

No More Manuals

A few high-end car brands are out of the manual transmission game entirely. Such brands include Acura, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lexus, Lincoln and Volvo. If you want three pedals in your next luxury car, you'll want to forego visiting one of those brands' dealerships.

Down to One

A few luxury automakers are down to just one stick shift model in their entire product lineup. In the world of Mercedes-Benz, for instance, you can only get a stick shift in the base-level SLK250 roadster. To get an Infiniti with a manual transmission, you have to opt for the Q60S Coupe -- and there's some chance that model won't retain its manual when it's redesigned next year. Finally, Cadillac's sole manual transmission is offered in the ATS, while Buick only offers a stick shift in front-wheel-drive versions of its sporty Regal GS.

The Last Stick Shifts Standing

Fortunately for drivers who like to row their own gears, a few other luxury brands still offer a wider variety of manual transmission models.

Despite Porsche's lightning-quick dual-clutch PDK automatic, for instance, the famed German sports car manufacturer still offers three pedals in each of its sports cars: the Boxster, the Cayman and the 911. Manual transmissions are also still widely available in the BMW lineup, as the sporty luxury brand offers the feature in most versions of its Z4 roadster, 2 Series, 3 Series sedan and 4 Series coupe -- including the high-performance M3 and M4. It's the same story over at MINI, where you can get a stick shift with nearly all the automaker's premium hatchbacks. And Audi still offers three pedals in the A4 and A5, along with their sporty S4 and S5 counterparts.

Our Take

These days, "luxury car" seems synonymous with "automatic transmission" -- and given the level of refinement (and quick-shifting capabilities) of today's automatic gearboxes, it's easy to see why.

Still, if you're one of the few drivers out there looking for three pedals in your next luxury car, there are still a few available options to choose from.

Our only advice: Be prepared for a slightly lower resale value, as luxury cars with automatic transmissions tend to be in higher demand than stick-shift models.

Manual transmissions are the most common type outside North America and Australia. They are cheaper, lighter, usually give better performance, but the newest automatic transmissions, and CVTs give better fuel economy.[5][6] It is customary for new drivers to learn, and be tested, on a car with a manual gear change. In Malaysia and Denmark all cars used for testing (and because of that, virtually all those used for instruction as well) have a manual transmission. In Japan, the Philippines, Germany, Poland, Italy, Israel, the Netherlands, Belgium, New Zealand, Austria, Bulgaria, the UK,[7] Ireland, Sweden, Norway, Estonia, France, Spain, Switzerland, the Australian states of Victoria,[8] Western Australia and Queensland, Finland, Latvia,[9] Lithuania and the Czech Republic, a test pass using an automatic car does not entitle the driver to use a manual car on the public road; a test with a manual car is required.[citation needed] Manual transmissions are much more common than automatic transmissions in Asia, Africa, South America and Europe.

NEROSKY:
To stop it or reduce it from excessive consumption of fuel, I told my mechanic he said it's likely the injector

moyo1993:
All i can say is, there are cars with both transmissions. Yes i mean automatic and at the same time manual shifts. So just buy one and you can always enjoy both transmission at the same time. That car was bought recently by a friend and i can say it was a great experience driving a car with both the automatic and manual transmission.

LadyMercedes:
We aren't fighting, sweetie. Everyone is entitled to their opinions.

To each, his own.

LadyMercedes:
I, for one, won't drive a manual.

First of all, driving in Lagos traffic can be a b*tch! I can't imagine driving a manual car... with the clutching, and braking, and shifting of gear. Life's too short for dislocated shoulders and muscle pulls.

Secondly, I don't know when to shift. Gear one, after 5 seconds, I move to two, and I stay there till the car starts making weird noises, then I shift to three... in that manner.

After driving a car with Automatic transmission, nothing would make me drive manual.

Which would you rather drive, and why? A car with a manual transmission, or one with automatic transmission?

LadyMercedes:
Sequential manual? Is that the same as Tiptronic, or Paddle shift?

GREATP1:
Please I need the experts in the house to enlighten me on the fuel consumption RATIO of SIX PLUGS engine compare to FOUR PLUGS engine. I want to buy RX 300 and I am a bit concern about the fuel consumption. E.g, if FOUR PLUGS consumption 50 litres of fuel in a journey, how many litres will SIX PLUGS likely consume? Thanks

seenter84:
Oga take chill pill.
I want to hear from first hand users.

GAZZUZZ:
he wants direct answers from users based on their experience on "nigerian" roads with nigerian market prices for parts, availability of parts and technical know how to fix vehicle when faulty.

Seems you need to refresh on this formulae:
distance =(speed * time duration of speed)
Cars running at same speed might not cover the same distance because it is not practicable they will be able to sustain that same speed through out that duration of travel .
