Abi.

Just to anyone on this thread. Maybe not a Lexus for your first car. Got a 2006 Lexus IS350 - with the body and lights upgraded to 2012. I am also learning how to drive with it and I have bashed it now. And to replace the grille and bumper, I am being quoted 470K for it’s replacement.

But you only ever bash a car once right?

Why didn't you get insurance?

Bought the car right before the protests started. The protests didn’t give me enough time to do the comprehensive insurance.

470k for only grille and bumper? Or are other things involved?

Sounds expensive. Did a full conversion early this year for less than 300k

Call the number in the attached - dude is at Ladipo, lagos. He came through for me.

Lol @ the bolded. In this case, yes! After you cough out 500k you'd be more careful in the future.

Reminds me of when an elderly man damaged the right headlamp of my '06 GS300... initially he was bragging that he would fix it... that it's not a biggie... when we called ladipo and they told him it costs N130k, baba started stammering and begging....

I was just like..Alaye... fix my motor!!

Go to a proper driving school cause you might just bash it again.

Alright bro

As a rule, I don’t drive any car without comprehensive insurance - it’s saved me tons of headache.

Cheers

He should also change the rack and pump and hoses too.

Please house, I need your help.
My rx330 steering vibrates while applying break once I'm speeding 80km/hr and above.
The mechanic have changed both the break pads and the disks but it still vibrates while pressing my break pedas at speed.
He also checked on the break calipers and confirmed it's in good condition.
I wish I can get solution to this problem in this section.

Please who knows where I can get my car windows tinted in Enugu ?

Mine does same thing...and it's really annoying...

So my car battery ran down today and it won't turn engine. I got another one installed and suddenly my driver's power windows buttons stopped working. After a while the 2 back windows started working again except for the front passenger side. What can be done to fix it please. Thanks.

I used to suffer from this. Did everything from smoothing the disc, changing brake pads, calipers without any luck.

I finally got a good mechanic that fixed it last week Friday. The issue was with the front BEARINGS. They were bad and wobbly. He took the bad bearings to Ladipo market and they fixed new ones into it instead of buying the whole set. He also changed the tie rod.

My RX330 has been smooth and calm since then. Even the internal "whoosh" noise I used to hear while driving is gone.

Re-programme the windows. It happens any time you disconnect your battery for a while.

Go to each window and;
- press down and hold until window slides down fully
- continue holding/pressing down for 3 seconds
- immediately press up and hold until window slides up fully. Continue holding up for 3 seconds.

That window is now re-programmed and you should be able to control it from driver side control.

For about a month now, My RX330 was having low engine power and delayed acceleration (when trying to accelerate after almost coming to a stop). I initially thought it was any of fuel pump, injector or plug based on online research.

I called a 'rewire' to scan and check the car. He got misfire codes so he serviced the injector, the fuel pump and the plugs.

The vehicle gained some power but the acceleration problem persisted. We decided to replaced the injectors rail. Although we went to Ladipo together on Thursday for the purchase and fixing, I left him to meet with the seller alone.

While he was trying to replace the old one with the new one, he noticed that the connector wire of Vehicle Speed Sensor was cut. Apparently, crazy rats in my neighbourhood saw the wires as their palliative.

He replaced the fuel injectors (+ rail) and reconnected the vehicle speed sensor wires. My vehicle came back to life. Accelerates very well.

Moral of the Story:

- Rat is an enemy. Pursue them from your car. One wire cut by a rat could be the reason for your car's woes.

Hey guys trust y'all are well.

My 300 jerks and makes one "kam" sound sometimes when I engage the gear what could be the cause.

My "check engine" light is on too.

The worst is that when I'm driving I have to step on the gas pedal for my car to fire the I want to, I don't know if I explained this well. Like the car doesn't move the way It's supposed to.


Someone has told me to change the transmission fluid but I'm yet to do that.

What do I do?
