well I don't think spare parts would b expensive here in Nigeria..... what I think is that his business strategy ar poor ... because being an indigenous car manufacturer.. and considering the lesser tax returns and shipping cost he is enjoying... his cars supposed to be cheaper and affordable than foreign shipped cars....anywaz las las Hausa men sabi business.... imagine na dangote get IVM

Not the cost of the parts being expensive..

But since IVM is sole producer of parts and limited distribution network unlike the regular Toyota brand that our ibo brothers can import enmasse and encourage competition.. Monopoly will kill the customer

nairalanders ....I want to ask why I am not seeing IVM(invictus motors) being marketed here... considering it is made in Nigeria n would b cheaper

Nice one... But..
Were will we see spare parts? Body parts? Except from company direct which may end up being more expensive

The cars are mostly bought brand new and the owner have not rocked it well enough to consider selling it.

In all I still think it's a nice thought... God no forbid us from driving brand new shaa

Go for corolla.....reasons being that;
1) Availability of spare parts
2) Resale value
3) Low maintenance
4) can be easily brought back to shape




But...........

Pls when you eventually get it..... make sure you park in a secure environment


Strong Reason why u might want to consider the pontiac

The car isn’t on full start , so what’s the rpm supposed to show ?

This is a little bit confusing.... What's full start....

It's either the engine is running
or
you just turned on the ignition without starting the car(IE engine is not running)

If your engine is not running and your have the information displayed on the picture you posted ... Your car is pretty much ok....

If you engine is running.. and you have this picture on your dash.... You have everything to worry about your matrix

It is an additive, but I also have the Engine oil. Which already contains the MTC.

Polytron 5W 30 synthetic engine oil. Also performs the same function as the additive.

If this is your only code, then your diagnosis is pretty straight forward.

Kindly verify this code comes back each time it is erased .
.



Yea code comes on even after it is been erased..


#just to add... There is a particular sensor on the gear body...(under the airflow compartment)..

The mechanic loosed the bolt and removed the sensor and cleaned it. He says The cable connected to the sensor is not having current... (He doesn't know if the cable should carry current at that stationery point or when the car is in motion as he doesn't have knowledge of gear workings).

When the engine is cold it's alwys above the hot Mark, let the vehicle run for 5-10 mins. Then u can check the fluid level.
"cold level" indicates the transmission oil level when the engine runs for 5-10 mins. U don't need to worry about the "hot mark" if uve verified the "cold Mark" is properly guaged.
And i think the required transmission fliud is WS and not "T whatever". I'm not certain though cos I'm not an auto expert; but if it's the wrong fluid uve got there, drain ASAP and use the right stuff.

Thanks alot.. oil guaged.... .

Let me break explain from the onset.

I had a failed gear pump(pump stop working all of a sudden in d morning). Although, I initially wanted to replace the gear. Went to Ladipo, guys gave me a wrong gear(05 Corolla gear) requiring t4 oil which I bought (8 litres).
I eventually return the gear and bought a gear pump. Installed and for lack of sufficient fund used the t4 oil on the old gear.


Current issue: early morning... Gear shift very hard(even reverse). But after some 30- 40mins drive ... It shift very smoothly.
Initially thought it was the engine seat but they are all firm. Mechanic says its because the pump is new.
This is the third day and it still doing hard shifting if I drive early in the morning or I park for a long time.

Scanned error code is p2770

DukeNija:


Take it back to your mechanic to drain the excess. Be careful so you don’t go below the mark.

Did... He claims the fluid was not in excess but the slant position I parked when guaging.

I scanned and got a P2770 code.
Car Talk / Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by eRex(m): 10:55pm On Jul 19, 2020
DukeNija:


Did you use the recommended oil and rightly gauged? When was the last time the gear oil was changed? Lastly have the car scanned.

I used a t4 transmission fluid
just did another check... It looks like it's way above the hot marker.

Good evening ogas,
Please I recently did a gear oil change on my Corolla 08 2zr engine and I realised that my gear does hard shift from 1-2 up till 4.
But after a long Drive say about 1hour it stabilises herself.

Once it parked down again for a long time it goes through the process above.
Initially I though it was my engine seat..
meet my mechanic and he said they are all firm..(coupled with the fact that after a long drive the hard shift ceases.) Please what could be wrong?
kindly assist

ImaIma1:


The funny thing is that if your wife's mum had remarried after a year like your dad, it even 3 years after, she would have been under fire for not mourning her husband enough.

As per the OP's case, I feel his gf means well for the mum for her to suggest his mum getting married.
Its is the rubbish mentality of ownership via marriage...

I blame our customs and traditions for putting us were we are on this issue.
After billing the man thousands n millions of naira just to get married to the woman,
Suddenly the late husband family will start looking at the widow like.... Upon all d money that our brother spent to marry this one... she want to go and marry another...

Can't try this in civilized country..
Divorce is hot cake... With divorce lawyers cashing out.... Not to talk of when the spouse is now late

Hello House,

My Elder Brother Is Considering Buying a Car.

Here are the cars on our Mind. We need a high ground clearance car because of the location we will be using the car to go to site and rough roads.

We are considering

Toyota Highlander and Toyota Rav4

One of the things in our Top considerations is

Fuel Economy
Easy to maintain and cost effective
Car that is not an easily criminal target and not too flashy
Most importantly, fuel travel.

Thanks.

Taking same years into consideration


Fuel Economy = Rav4
Easy to maintain and cost effective= this is relative
Car that is not an easily criminal target not too flashy:=naaas not Toyota's .. Just go and buy Ssangyong

Most importantly, fuel travel= highlander

If I were not married and I meet your GF... I will marry her....

She reason like a REAL LOGICAL AND MATURED PERSON.

The older someone gets the lonelier they become.

Quick check...
Case 1:
My mum had 4 of us 2 of us were married before she passed on.

My dad remarried after a year... Despite we kids rebuffing and co.

Today we are all happy living.. the guy is living is life so we are.

Case two:
My wife's mum lost her husband over 22years now. And never remarried. With my wife being the first child, she calls my wife DAILY discussing things that don't interest us.... But interest her...
- Ooooh she has been made secretary to the women association in the village.
- how she got a set of new chicks and will rear dem till infinity.
I can go on and on... and this happens Everyday.
Best part is she flashes and we call.. and it goes for hours.
Point is she is obviously lonely as she stays alone in the building built by her husband in the village... All d kids are in Lagos chasing one thing or the other.
We practically have asked her self... Is any man not wooing u in the village.
Loneliness can lead to depression... So much though of.....

In you own stand think it thru....

You MAY underline MAY ... Never be there when she needed some one to talk to when u are married and seriously pursuing your career.

My point... Your GF was never out of place throwing such discussion.. only shows she have had a future in though which most ladies don't have.

I sure hope u too think of the future too.

For me oo. Your supposed EX GF has a point.

Even in death Life goes on.
If the spouse choses to remarry.

You wouldn't want your mum hanging on you as her pseudo hubby... Your future wife "May" not like it.

Truth be told when she is alone and your kids are all married, she will eventually get lonely...

I am talking from 1st hand experience. So also it looked odd but we know better now.

EVERYDAY CALLS
JISTING ABOUT IRRELEVANT (to us) OLD PPLE STUFFS THE WOULD HAVE BEEN FOR MAN AND WIFE.

it all got us boring with time
