Transmission failing

Anyone know good places in Qatar to fix/rebuild the transmission on a Lexus LX470?

My gearbox is shifting hard, slipping sometimes, and at highway speed it keeps upshifting and downshifting repeatedly.

Looking for:
trustworthy Lexus/Toyota transmission specialists
approximate rebuild or replacement prices in Qatar
whether used gearboxes are worth it here
Would appreciate recommendations and rough costs. Thanks.

Hi I'm new in Qatar and I'm interested in Land Cruiser Specifically 2005 Model but I'm soo much confused between too many Varients like G, GX, GX-R, V, VX, VX-R and soo on there are too many Varients of the land cruisers in the GCC specifically.

Car keeps on overheating

My car is a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe and recently came across a problem with the overheating of the car. Went to a garage and they told me there are no leaks, radiator is working fine and advised me to change the gasket cover as it might not be sealing the radiator gasket well but after a day of changing it, goes back to overheating again. What could be the issue?

PPF / Ceramic Coating Paint Protection

Hi, recently got a black FJ cruiser. I've heard many say I would be required to wash the car quite often, which is fine. But my dad's Prado is white and over time I think due to the pressure washing at the car wash, the paint starts to chip away? Or correct me if I'm wrong pls.

I wanted to check if a PPF/Ceramic coating would help or eliminate the issue of paint chipping away? Or in general is it worth getting a paint protection in your experience? TIA!

Suzuki Grand Vitara / Toyota Urban Cruiser

Does anybody here own a Suzuki Grand Vitara or Toyota Urban Cruiser, if so, what's your overall review of the car? I have seen that they are essentially the same vehicle with cosmetic changes.

I am specifically interested in the reliability of the mild hybrid system, AC performance in summer, and everyday driving experience.

2024 Big Horn V8 5.7 HEMI e-torque

I’m about to finalise the purchase of this 2024 Big Horn 5.7HEMI e-torque. This is basically brand new with 800 miles on clock and I got a pretty sweet deal on it. Another year under warranty.

Any thoughts on this e-torque and in general how 2024 big horns do mechanically and reliability.

I’m new to Rams so please bear with me and explain to me like a 10th grader what I need to know.

Thanks

HAVAL

Why is the Haval H9 much cheaper in Mawater City compared to Teyseer Motors?

Same trim or different specs/warranty? Anyone bought from Mawater before?

And how is the H9? Any recent owners??

Car battery in Qatar

Hello all, my car, a GMC, terrain SLE 2020 model, started having battery issues when I stop using it for maybe more than 10 days when I go on a vacation or on a break. The only way to start. The car is through jumper start.

Now I want to think like I have nowhere, but I have never changed the battery since I bought the car, so I believe the battery age is done.

I would like to buy a new battery, preferably AGM and with equivalent specifications that are required.

Where do you prefer me to purchase it at a better, low margin rate? During my research, I found AMRON is the best battery in Qatar in environments.

Do you have any references? Please share locations, phone numbers, or persons who can help me with this. Thank you.

UPDATE: I had the data of 100k cars, so I curated all of them into valuable insights

With over 100k cars in hand, I divided the cars into 3 buckets.
The most popular cars in Qatar
The most depreciating cars in Qatar
And the most reliable cars in Qatar

It’s an interesting find to me just as much as it’s going to be for you. Here’s how I calculated it and curated it into a list.

Depreciation was calculated by checking how much each of the models lost approximately year after year + other parameters while reliability was checked on parameters like what % of the bulk has more high mileage cars, how much more close to the new car price of a car a person is willing to pay for an older car + other parameters.

All of these insights have been strictly grounded on Qatar local data and subdivided into German/ Chinese and American.

Check it out here: https://raqamqatar.com/qatar-used-car-insights?lang=en

I continue to stay committed to bringing the most out of qatar used car data while maximizing trust within the community.

Lc200 LED turn signal

I wanna install LED turn signals into my existing stock headlamp and tail lamp without changing the look of the car. I previously tried one but it kept hyper flashing like crazy so i took it back to the normal halogen. Anyone know any good places where they can get it done without this hyperflash issue (probably needs a resistor) or any place that has kits specifically designed for the lc200

Which parts of lusail have a radar on them?

I was leavin the cars majlis event, it was in maha island so when i left the exit (of maha island) i took the free right onto the roundabout with traffic light on it but it seemed like there was no radar to be seen so when i went to take my left i followed the line and noticed no one followed me so i think i mightve made an illegal turn but im not so sure

(Inserted below is the location on google maps)

Am I cooked?

I was running at 70kmh at the first intersection in West Bay when coming out of the Lusail Expressway (the one where it says “corniche” on the floor). Light turned amber and I feared if i slammed on my brakes it could cause an accident (happened to me this month lol). I kept on going, i passed the line probably 0.5 seconds after it turned red, I saw a flash. Is it 100% a fine or are there any chances I get away with it :/?

Also any tips if I do get the fine will be appreciated. I really hope I don’t get anything man😭
