Car Talk / Is There Any Advantage Of Disconnecting Car Engine Temperature Thermostat? by capsogiga(m): 12:03pm On Jul 13, 2011 |
HELLO GUYS. I USE A TOYOTA HIGHLANDER 2001 MODEL. MY MECHANIC DISCONNECTED THE THERMOSTAT REGULATING ENGINE TEMPERATURE SO THAT , ACCORDING TO HIM, THE COOLANT CAN CIRCULATE UNRESTRICTED. THIS WILL ENSURE THE ENGINE IS COOL ALL THE TIME AS THERMOSTATS ARE NOT NEEDED IN CARS IN THE TROPICS LIKE NIGERIA. ARE ALL THESE TRUE? SHOULD I CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE WITH THE THERMOSTAT DISCONNECTED? I BROWSED VARIOUS INTERNET FORUMS AND BECAME MORE CONFUSED AS THERE IS NO CLEAR STRAIGHT-FORWARD ANSWER IN SIMPLE, PLAIN NON-TECHNICAL ENGLISH!!!!! GUYS PLS HELP !!!! |

Ikenna351:
"Disc resurfacing was supposed to be done everytime you change your brake" Hmm! Thats very strange to hear.
Capsogiga, before you do anything, is your rear brake system disc or drum?
Ikenna.
@ikenna351 my rear brake system is DISC sir. Kunle-A:
What i am trying to say is that everytime a brake job is done, the resurface must be done. EVERYTIME. Until the rotor gets to the point that it cannot be resurfaced again.
At this point, i will suggest that you change the rotors itself on both sides. They are not very expensive. I am guessing that they are warped. And no amount of resurfacing can rectify that if they are terribly warped.
Good luck.
@Kunle-A How do i know the rotors are warped? How do i know the rotors have gotten to a point that they cant be resurfaced again? I actually resurfaced the two front discs a few weeks ago but not the back ones. I have also noticed one of the back disc is rough and scarred.But I have been told to leave it like that because the new brake pad will smoothen and polish it with time. Thanks all. Any suggestions? |
Car Talk / Re: Brake Disc And Abs Problem With Toyota Highlander by capsogiga(m): 11:55am On Nov 24, 2010 |
Kunle-A:
You need to RE-surface the disc (or regrind) as the mechanic told you. And install brand new brake pads.
Disc resurfacing was supposed to be done everytime you change your brake.
And don't cut corners in buying good pads either.
Good luck.
Kunle-A. Thank u very, very much. I have resurfaced/reground the discs sir!! I have also changed the brake pads on the four wheels yet the problem persists. Also what exactly do u mean by"" disc surfacing was supposed to be done everytime you change your brake"". Are u saying i have to change my brake? Thanks again Kunle-A |

HELLO GUYS.
I AM EXPERIENCING PROBLEM WITH MY 2001 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER. WHENEVER I STEP ON THE BRAKE IT PULSATES AND VIBRATES AND THE BRAKE PUSHES MY FOOT BACK. I KNOW CARS WITH ABS DO THIS BUT MINE IS JUST TOO FREQUENT. I ALSO NOTICED THIS HAPPENS WHENEVER THE SPEEDOMETER DROPS TO 20 MPH.I TOOK IT TO DIFFERENT MECHANICS BUT NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. ONE SAID IT IS CALIPER PROBLEM. ANOTHER SAID IT IS THE BRAKE DISCS THAT NEEDS GRINDING OR CHANGING.YET ANOTHER SAID THE WHOLE BRAKE SYSTEM NEEDS REPLACEMENT !!!!
DOES ANYBODY HAVE A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE? PLS KINDLY ASSIST AS I AM CONFUSED AND DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO. |

Properties / Re: How To Buy A Lagos State Government Residential Housing Scheme. Dos And Donts by capsogiga(m): 1:23pm On Oct 23, 2010 |
Good one Lawyer! More power to your elbow. But to be honest buying plots from Lagos State Government has its drawbacks. 1. Bureaucracy and red tape 2. Delay in actual allocation of plots. For instance, myself and numerous Alausa staff applied for Igbogbo Millenium Scheme since early 2008 and up till now the only thing we have collected is ALLOCATION LETTER.Even insiders at Alausa are complaining!!! The whole thing has been enmeshed in favouritism, nepotism, ACN party affiliation,bribery and outright BULLSHIT. If u want to invest for the future,perhaps u can buy from Lagos state. If u want to start building immediately, even OMONILE is better ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png) |

THANKS ALL. JAZAKALAH KHAIRAN. I AM VERY GRATEFUL. talknafree:
Walaikum Salam.
1st ALLAH is capital A and not "a". try to always take note of that.
It is deffinately not a sin. There areeven prayers in regard of the sex of a child you want (male, female, and even twins).
I can't give you the prayers right here in the open forum, i will look for a more appropraite avenue to pass it across to you.
Also, join our group / and friend on facebook- Naija Muslims to network with other knowledgable muslims.
Masalam.
