Thanks. Yes mine is definitely faulty.

I am not sure about finished but it was certainly open pre covid and remember seeing what I presumed were staff and tourists going in and out. Never looked that busy even then.

I wouldn't really know and although I have heard of I could not tell what or where the torsion bar was unfortunately. I think I need to ask at a Mitsu dealership where exactly it is ok to put the jack to enable changing a front tyre with the supplied jack as the supposed correct jacking point does not appear to work. Thanks for all the replies

1 - not according to the book but I am not an expert 2- I don't think it was but even with the new jack it was not enough 3 - standard spare, same sizes.

I was concerned about putting it in the wrong place and ending up with other issues. Thanks I will check that out . I am not sure you read my OP fully. I put it in the right place according to the handbook pictures - that was pretty clear. Jack was last used more than 5 years ago and according to You Tube they can and do "malfunction"..............

Yes an option but I would then have to carry it round in the back to make it worthwhile so not ideal thanks.

Forgot to mention that a friend had one of those electronic inflators so we tried that but unfortunately would not reinflate. Also tried a scizzor type jack from a Fiesta but that did not help either.

Neighbour let me know last night that the front offside tyre had completely deflated - and I mean completely. I have changed rear tyres at least twice on this vehicle and never had problems but it had been a while so out came manual to remind me and also to find the right anchor point for the jack. So put the jack in place and started to pump the lever - never got the tyre off the ground. Tried to put something underneath it to raise it further but still wasn't enough. The supplied bottle jack did not look like it was opening up fully so on the You tube to see if anything could be done. Tried bleeding air but that did not seem to make much if any difference. Did not have any oil so could not try that. This morning went out and eventually bought another bottle jack which also had a screw thread to open it up higher. Used that and eventually got the damaged tyre off. Unfortunately in doing so of course the front suspension drops the wheel disc bit lower so could not put the spare tyre on - and could not get the new bottle jack high enough........ So used the old jack on a brick to raise the disc and was just able to get it high enough to put on the spare. If I had been out and about I wouldn't have been able to do this.........but I guess I could have called my insurance............ What gets me is even if the original Mitsu bottle jack had opened to what looks like its fullest extent it still would not have worked for the front tyre. Nothing in the book about this of course. Is there something else I could have done differently to have made the process a lot easier? I will repeat I never had issues changing rear tyres in the past. PS - yes simple answer would be to get to a garage before the tyre got that flat but unfortunately I hadn't noticed it.

If by "you" you are referring to me than perhaps you need to reread what I wrote as I never suggested that I would do it or had done it...... So if you did mean me then that is just a complete unfounded assumption and typical, IMO, of your non- ending irritating nit picking in this particular thread.

You may well be correct but was reminded from this very recent thread - https://aseannow.com/topic/1295414-barclays-are-going-to-close-my-uk-bank-account/

Selective quoting again..... There is, much as you may not want to admit it, a possibility to potentially game the system and that would be up to the OP @Pumpuynarak or whoever if they wanted to try it. I would suggest that anybody with a Barclays account should look seriously at finding a way to open a new account as it looks like they are going to pursue closing any and all non resident accounts - based on their own web site - https://www.barclays.co.uk/important-information/living-outside-the-uk/

@himmel try reading this thread which has a lot of information - More recent -https://aseannow.com/topic/1281406-last-will-and-testament/

You can but you may have some issues with Double NAT. When I had that originally I had to keep resetting my connection which stopped after getting the ISP to set it in bridge mode. This was some years ago however.

Thanks. There was me thinking maybe he was donating it to rebuild the burn out villages............

You don't say which ISP you are with? I am also with True and although it wasn't as simple as it should have been like @OneMoreFarang they switched the modem/router box for one that had bridge mode (a Huawei). Previously was Cisco.... AIS offer a BYOD (bring your own device package) - https://www.ais.th/fibre/en/package_byodbroadband.html as do True https://www.true.th/trueonline/site/package/choose-your-own-device-package?ln=en

Agreed but unfortunately every bank is different. I can tell you what it costs me for Lloyds for example but again depends if you accept all charges or share charges (with them anyway).

You need to look up the specific bank exchange rates to give an idea - trouble is you won't know for sure until they actually exchange it as they of course change multiple times per day. scb here - https://www.scb.co.th/en/personal-banking/foreign-exchange-rates.html Bangkok bank - https://www.bangkokbank.com/en/Personal/Other-Services/View-Rates/Foreign-Exchange-Rates Note date and time at the head of the rates. OP may know what his bank will charge but unless you take all charges there may be a correspondent bank fee in the middle and then 2-500 baht charge at the Thai bank end.

Especially surviving the plane crash

Yes I watched it last week however re the dialogue - there were 2 bits of meaningful (or possibly meaningful) dialogue towards the end. The women in the tank when they reach some sort of checkpoint and when he finally takes the gold into some building. Both bits were in (presumably) Finnish and no subtitles on my stream......All the rest was in English. Can anyone satisfy my curiosity as to what was being said?

Perhaps because your questions are confusing.....and unless you quote someone how do they know you replied........ Are you talking about a will for your assets in UK or your assets in Thailand.? If you read all the posts it may help answer some of your questions and if you search this and the banking forum there have been other threads to do with making wills and the probate. process in Thailand.

I do for 1.

Yes I bought the Note 8 about 3 yeas ago. Ended up rooting it after about 3/4 months due to all the crap on it and the data it was sending out. Apart from that it was/is a good value phone.

Another place is the A/C shop on Pattaya Nua just before Fascinos on same side. Have bought from there some years ago and still working

Not really as it, as far as I know, doesn't actually deal with personal retail accounts - it is a commercial bank. Thanks you beat me to it. Been discussed to death over the years here but keeps coming up
