somehow:


His source said he can not find an highlander with the conditions listed and at that price.
You cannot get a low mileage clean title non accidented highlander at N4m.
If he wants a good car let him budget good money. At least 5m.

Good morning experts in the house


Mechanic changed my brake pads (front and back), brake discs and calipers (front)

When he was done, the brake pedal wasn't catching well - had to depress the pedal upto the floor before it picks.

He bled the brakes at the 4 tyres but it still persists.

What can I do?

Thanks

Hi. I drive a corolla 03. Its running smoothly but the issue I have is that it makes this loud, rumbling sound when I'm doing say 50 km/h and above. My mechanic said it was the shocks. I changed all 4 yet the noise persists. I don't know if its and engine problem but the engine runs smoothly when I start the car and no issues while driving at high speeds. The sound is like a high rumbling sound. It disappears when I decelerate and comes back when I'm doing those high speeds again. Any ideas how I can go about this pls?
Help us ooo

Hello Car gurus. Happy new year to you all. Please I am a new car owner. I got a 2011 Toyota Camry SE tokunbo and I have been paying attention to the fuel consumption of the car and it seems to be consistently far off the numbers listed online. From the recent numbers, I drove about 450km (90% city driving) with 60ltrs giving me around 7.5km per litre or 13.3 litres per 100km. Please is this okay or is there something wrong with my car?. I bought the car at 180k miles. Please I need replies to help me sleep well or find solution if there's a problem. Thanks

For those familiar with jos you should be aware that car theft and car snatching is very rampant. Some weeks back my brother went to terminus, parked by the road side and entered the market. On getting back he opened his car with the key, tried to turn on the car and nothing came up. Immediately he thought there is no battery contact. He popped the hood of the car only to realise his battery is gone. He was so sure he locked the car before entering the market. Yesterday, my bro went out with my car(camry 2009), he came back and told me the battery of the car is misbehaving. He had to pop the hood and adjust the battery head twice before he could turn on the car. I just told him I will check it out in the morning. This morning I realised someone tried to remove the battery of the car. The battery of my car is tightened in such a way that you will have to loosen about 4 screws and a bolt before you can remove the battery. All 4 screws and the bolt were loose, in fact the bolt was gone sef. That was when I knew someone tried to steal the battery. My question is, how do they pop the hood of the car without entering the car. I am baffled right now, people need to be careful where they park their cars and don't park for long in neighbourhoods that you are not familiar with.

Is it advisable to buy a car that the Ac compressor needs replacement?
Re: Car Talk Chat Room by Plugoflagos1(m): 5:26pm On Jan 20, 2021
And what’s the rough cost to change the compressor?

Just know that if a car dealer tells you the AC just needs gas, that means there is a leakage somewhere in the system. There's nothing wrong with buying a car with compressor fault. Just know that you will spend minimum of 40k to fix the AC

Greetings family here.

I have a TOYOTA AVENSIS 1998 MANUAL SEDAN that runs on 1ZZ engine.
Engine went low and I decided to carryout overhaul. After spending so much, suddenly the FUEL PUMP started failing.
No matter the fuel pump installed, it cannot drive 3kms without jerking and then that's it. The fuel pump dies.
I am really frustrated now and need help. Could it it electrical ? Electricians have tried to fix the problem to no avail.
Please what do I do next ?

I've only changed air filter once. Still running on the same spark plugs, coils and fuel pump.
Of course, I've changed oil and oil filter when due.

Fortunately, the car had all the major maintenance performed over there before I bought it at auction as the vin report showed.

Even the maintenance sticker showed it was serviced a few hundred miles before I bought it.

The issue is serious leakage. Find a competent AC person to look into it asap.
