Beautiful morning to you all
My matrix 03 had an accident few weeks ago, we've fixed everything, the only issue now is the gear. Car doesn't start when on pack, starts on neutral. If you put the gear in D instead of drive it'll stay at neutral, 2 is drive while N is revise.

My mechanic seems confused. Please help

Ground cable, find a way to reinstall it

The ground helps to complete electrical circuits in your car. It returns back current to the negative terminal of your battery.
In some cars, when you that kind of short, it can trigger check engine or some electrical parts may not function properly. Try get someone to fix. Is important to have it attached to the the body of the car just like the pic

Good morning Gazzuz. My Es 350 2007 doesn't engage when on REVERSE and the Drive wasn't smooth. This happened very close to my house and the car has been parked since yesterday. Gear oil has never been changed. Car is in Benin city and was bought in August. The issue started yesterday after more than one month of smooth driving. Any competent mech in Benin city should quote me!.

Advice is needed please.
@ car gurus, Gazzuzz and co. My Corolla 08 was diagnosed with error code P0016. I was told that its a timing chain issue and I told him I'll get back to him. I bought this car tokumbo last year and did my second service last month with Mobile 1 oil. Please what's your take about it? If it's the timing issue, please I want you to recommend an expert for me @ Ilorin Kwara State. Thank you.

Chief, Pls help recommend the brand of engine oil for my big daddy toyota 2005.
The dealer that brought it about 3 months ago serviced it with one fanfaro oil 20w50 as he claims it is very good. I however later discovered that the recommended is 5w30 and I'll be changing the oil in few months time. I want to revert to the recommended standard but I want someone experienced to recommend a reliable brand of oil for me.

If you Dey Lagos, look for autologic here on Nairaland so he can check if changing to recommended oil weight is still possible.
