kingreign:Hello boss.. My alternator belt normally cuts. I was told that my belt adjuster for was faulty. I replaced the adjuster yet the belt still cuts. The mechanic said I should buy a shorter belt I bought it cut. He said I should a longer one I bought still cut. The mechanic has checked all the pulleys are ok and they aligned. What could really be the cause of this issue? The car is Honda Civic 06 |

Good evening sir, please I'm driving a Toyota camry 05 and if I want to put the gear to drive instead pressing the nob at the head of the gear normally, I will press the black button that is below the gear before I move the gear to drive mode after that I can move it to any gear selection position either R, P or N. Please I want to ask what might be the cause that when I press the nob on the head of the gear it won't work and the gear won't move to selector or gear position I want it to go, I must alway press the black hole first which was not supposed to be like that, can you advise and I have attached the picture of the part of the black button am talking about on this my post. Thanks

aka4luv2002: You need to check your brake lights, If they're all burnt, it can cause it. Also your brake switch may be defective. If you check it and it's fine, have a technician che k that gear selector. 2 Likes |

I have Mazda Premacy Year 2000 model that has worked over two years. A rugged car it is for pulling through mud and rough roads. Days ago, the front wheels stopped on motion and tyre skid like I applied brake suddenly. Once I stopped, it begins to move normally. At first, my mechanic said it was brake pad which we check and nothing seems wrong. We suspected caliper but its intact. I was lucky this happen while driving at 30km/hr. Please what do you suspect because mechanic said I should drive it and let him know if it continues? |

Hello @kingreign. Please do you know any competent and honest mechanic that can work on my 2008 Lexus Rx 350 in the Ajah area of Lagos? It's seriously shorting coolant, has a consistent misfire in cylinder 2 and white smoke emits from the exhaust pipe. I suspect it needs an head gasket job. Any suggestions? |

Dear All, Please I need advice with my vehicle. For about three days now, I've been experiencing inconsistent gear selection with my 07 Honda Civic. Most times it moves and select automatically, and at times the gear struggles for about a minute or thereabout before switching to the next gear. Kindly advice Kingreign Gazzuzz |

So guys I’m using Camry spider 2014, hv been using the car for 2yrs bought it as toks. Whenever I service my car I do use good 5months before I start noticing any shortage in oil though I don’t travel only go to work and come back. Then recently due to some family stuff hv been traveling a lot this is the second time in space of 4 or 5 weeks I will be changing the oil. I first thought it was fake Mobil, I changed to hardex gold in 2 weeks after changing to hardex the oil level has almost gotten to the second line though hv been traveling a lot recently . Mechanic checked and said there was no leakage that it’s the way spider was built, it consumes a lot of oil. Please I need your opinions guys. Thanks |

Greetings great mind! I use camry 2007 LE, when I returned from church yesterday and parked my car without any issue. Only to noticed later in the day when I wanted to go out that the drive gear doesn't move forward, it was like everything was on reverse mode. I had to switch off the engine, waited few minutes and switched it on again but was surprised the kick or engine did not make a sound and other electrical functions like headlamps, dashboard and radiator fan works. Please I need urgent help, am in Owerri. |

2011 highlander Drains battery like mad!!! Park it overnight and the next morning ,battery Is dead. Have changed batteries multiple times to no avail. Someone is telling me headlight relay bla bla bla but I really doubt it and don't want to waste money on trial and error. Say the headlight relay na 80k According to him,its the whole R column device in the fusebox in the picture below that keeps draining the battery,that it's not working bla bla bla...I don't know but I'm not too sure of what he's saying,even though I've never encountered such.

Bro, my Hyundai Santa Fe 2005 just stopped working as i was driving home on saturday. I thought it was fuel since the fuel gauge is faulty. So i went to get fuel, yet it refused to pick. It was just making the sound of a car that wants to start and after tazzuzuzuzu, the lights on the dashboard will show and it still wont start. So this mechanic told me the timing belt has cut. I also wants to know whether Timing Belt causes a car not to accelerate properly. Thank you |
