Yea, after successfully changing the head gasket, the car has developed another fault entirely.


Park is now reverse, drive is now neutral, neutral Is now park. My mechanic told me that the problem is from a pipe, I really couldn’t understand, but I’m praying for it to be rectified. My mechanic told me to drive it like that until he’s fully chanced, that he has so many work at hand.

I couldn’t wait so I took it to another mechanic , and it’s working at it right now as I’m typing, I pray it’s possible for it to be rectified and for everything to go back to normal, this Is my prayer right now.

Wow
Are you for real?

Yes, 100%
Also, whenever the car is in reverse, it normally makes a loud cranking noise, which wasn’t there before, until I changed the head gasket few days ago.

Yea, that’s what he told me, I didn’t revolt or complain because my papers are not yet out, I barely or rarely drive the car, I’m still waiting for my papers to fully be available and complete before testing and driving long distance, to ascertain If the car is worth letting go of my older Camry or not.

Are you sure you are really using qualified mechanics?

I really can’t fathom the kind of hurry I’m always hurrying, eg. I have an S24 ultra and 13 pro max, but the day I wanted to buy touch light, I could not sleep all night, I was awake and restless for dawn to arrive so I could go.


I have a deep freezer already, but the day I bought my standing fridge, I couldn’t sleep all night, and when it was dawn, I was already there before the store opened, same experience with my inverter purchase, reason I was sold bad batteries for 788k, batteries that only lasts for 43 mins to an hour before going off, and a whole host of others that I can’t mention here. My life is so messed up, always filled with endless regrets. 🥹



I have posted pictures of the car above.

Sorry to ask this question but how old are you? Also what do you do for a living?

Why are you always buying dead Nigerian used cars?

If you'd listen, sell the two Camrys. Then use the money to buy a tokunbo 2013 Toyota Corolla since you are really concerned about fuel consumption.

I bought a tokunbo 2013 Corolla last two weeks. And I have been enjoying it. Fuel consumption is decent.

I used 20k fuel to drive for than 110 miles. But it was combined city and highway drive.
