They have broken my neighbour's fully tinted RX 330 glass to steal his laptop from the back seat at omega plaza wuse 2. He went to H-medix to pick up some few items and didn't spend up to 10mins. The rule is to put all your valuables in the booth. The incident happened in 2018

Comparing city centers for states, Lagos and abuja is most expensive in of rent.

My colleague couldn't get a decent one bedroom of N1.3m in ketu. The agency charges are even worse

Just a common 2 bedroom in outskirt Abuja like Kubwa is from N1.5m-4m

In wuse 2 and environs, you may pay as much as N4m-N10m. And some of these houses are very old

Your driving style matters too. I hope you don't have heavy foot. 10 liters give me 160km city driving no AC sha.

May only happen if the car is new. I don't think it is possible with a used car, shortchanged filling station meter guage and poor fuel quality

480k.....But for Kankara (Hausa slang for Engine swap) we can make a deal for 350k last price.

surprised how Honda engines are far cheaper than Toyota engines of same year of manufacture
Imagine 2AZ for Camry 2005/2006 is over N1m

I think Honda is the way to go

Help,my toyota camry 2002 model died few days ago when I got home by 9pm.i had yellow fuel low indicator on but as soon as I climbed the hill to my house,it stalled at home.i decided to buy 1 gallon of fuel the following day. It did hard starting. My mechanic then came the following day,and checked the spark plugs,3 out of the 6 died,so we changed them,suddenly the car starts but once I remove my leg from the accelerator,it died. He now said,it's rewires work.a rewire came and checked and travel to fuel pump,a new Toyota fuel pump worth 7k was purchased,but still the car is doing hard starting.He now says its the brainbox . I am just confused.

Pls scan and share the codes

@Op it is obvious you dont know the year of manufacture of the car you are selling. This particular model ended in 2006. Change the heading of your post. Google is your friend. grin


This is even 2002-2004 model. Not up to 2005

I get. Yunno sometimes, one writes how he speaks. Forgive my bad. It was about 60km. I felt 17 litres on 60km is too poor.

I think your speedometer is calibrated in miles. That will will be 96km. So 17lliters means 5.64km/l. Still much sha. Scanning will reveal more details

Are you using AC? Is there hold up?

Codes are needed here. Research and possible solution will be given to you on this forum

I have a vehicle with similar engine and transmission. Accord 2006 .

I also have fuel consumption issues, I have made some improvement on the fuel consumption, but it would be very hard to give you recommendations until you scan the vehicle, something as simple as a loose wire, MAF Sensor or even dirty air filter can cause all the issues you are experiencing. You can buy a cheap OBD2 scanner for between 2-5k , it connects via Bluetooth to your phone.

When you do that , share the error codes, so we can help.

For the issue of changing gears, check the wires leading to your shift solenoids, its possible they are not properly clipped on.

You still need to scan the vehicle, else you might end up spending money you shouldn't spend. Buy the cheap scanner and scan your car .

Well said

Your means of calculating fuel consumption isn't correct.
It should be based on distance not time. A 1hr journey could give you 120-130km in a good road. 20k fuel is just about 17liters.
Just scan and share the engine codes here

Hey guys, Good Day.

I need your opinion between this two cars;

Rav 4 2007 V6

And

Rav 4 2009 4plugs

Both are Naija used,clean in and out and at the same price range.

So which should I choose between the two and why?

Your opinion is highly appreciated šŸ‘

The problem with the 4plug is that it may burns oil because it is using 2AZ

Hello car gurus,

Please, I need your help.

I drive a 2006 Toyota Corolla. Recently, when you engage the gear on drive, it makes a startling noise (kpom). It has been scanned, it shows faulty gear solenoid E. And the gear man said they'll change the valve body to ensure everything works fine.

What's your professional advice? Will it work better after the change? Is it worth it to change it, or, I should work towards buying a new gear entirely?

What caused the gear issue?

Many thanks, it has been resolved. It's the wire that got disconnected.

It's the shaft I changed months back

Likely the particular sensor of the tyre removed for the shaft job. That will also trigger the Abis light sometimes

It could also mean the instrument cluster is having issues

My corolla 2009 speedometer stopped working, and it's showing brake signs on the dashboard.

Kindly help.

It hardly pups up on its own

Good day sir. You seem very knowledgeable with cars and I need your assistance.
I'm having an issue with my car. A 2009 lexus rx350. The axle got bad and was changed. The mechanic and I were testing the car and noticed the car seemed to be finding it difficult to change gears. We took it back to the workshop and the mechanic added some gear oil and asked me to drive it for a few days and the issue week stop.
On my way home from the mechanic, I noticed the car was finding it difficult to speed up until it eventually stopped. I turned it back on and the car wasn't going into Drive anymore, only reverse. Called the mechanic and he came to pick up the car and now it was driving properly so I'm guessing it was able to go into drive after the engine cooled down.
Mechanic is now telling me I need to change the fibre in the gears or to buy a new gear (meanwhile I never had any gear issues prior to changing the axle). Have you had any cases similar to this before? I'll be glad if you give any suggestions


Nawa oooo. They have killed your car gear just like that? The shaft change has killed more gears than any other repairs.
The gear has been contaminated by their dirty and careless habit.

Hmmm. I recently bought Honda Civic 2008 and it consumes about 14/15 litres from Abuja to Lafia (200km) and I've been feeling it's consuming excess fuel. I even scanned due to check engine on the dashboard and it's showing bad catalytic converter. Please any one using same car should let me know if the consumption is ok.

YOUR car is doing well

your car measurement is in Miles and not Kilometers. Multiply the distance by 1.6 to get the actual kilometer value.

Please tell them to share codes after scanner. Show us the codes here

Again, is the car V6?

Hi guys, please I’m in the market for a Rav 4 2013-2015. I want to know which year to avoid or if there’s any year that is more reliable. Also if there’s a better alternative ride in the same class and budget. All opinions are welcome.

Cc nurey, heavenlybang etc

Go for 2015. The later years always correct the issues of the earliest year
