They didn't even try to change the Tundra emblem to Hilux

Mazda CX5 soon...might be another choice for you

Mold Let them clean out your AC unit.

There is a good store in Samut Prakan. I will send you the link later.

It's your wife's property

You sure you will get it in October?

Actually, as long as you pay the taxes for your minimum wage scale you would be fine.

Pretty sure we aren't going to get that updated Pajero sport as they just updated it last year.

Try calling Honda Pattanakarn...seems to be a dealer with a good rep.

Doesn't the A class use the same engine as a Dacia Sandero?

I'll buy it for 100,000 THB

22,000 is higher than my premium for the PJS...

What brand is your car?

a 12 old Volvo, well serviced by the dealer garage all these years. location, north of Bangkok.

Does it need any replacement body/trim parts? i'd be asking repairer how long to get them maybe your dealer doesn't do repairs so they don't have to stock parts especially on a 12 year old.

I was about to say the same...It think it depends on the work necessary on your car. If they have to order the part from the factory it might take time.

Just FYI, when my Mitsubishi PJS window broke, they ordered the part immediately from Rayong, it arrived in 3 hours and my car was fixed in a day.

However, in the past when my Toyota needed a new front wing and bumper it took 2 weeks for the part to be ready. The installation took another 5 days.

What brand is your car?

We are currently translating the last update for this old model...new model translation starts at the end of this year...

Personally I reckon 22" wheels look a bit odd on SUVs and pick ups but that just my opinion.

I think they can look OK:

But you can also take it a bit too far:

I can only imagine how bad the ride quality is

aren't those 26 inch?

With 30psi I would be driving around with almost flat tyres. I have 45psi on each of the 4. As recommended by all shops I been to incl Mitsu itself.

Will check tyre specs later today.

Got a few questions:

- if I get 22" rims with the Yokohama tyres, wouldn't I need to lower the wheelbase itself as well to make it (look) more fit?

- when buying a set of rims in thailand, is a set 4 rims or actually 5 for the spare one? I mean i can't drive I guess on 3x 22" and 1x 16" right? Lol

- would a 22" rim spare and tyre fit in the storage place under the car? Or only fit up to 17"?

- I always get this spray can of tyre shine for free after a carwash, it kinda makes my tyres give a "wet"-look which looks nice and looks clean as well but can this stuff decrease the lifespan of my tyre? Are there any downsides which I might not be aware of ?

- which garage in Bangkok speaks good English and can do a full tyre alignment? Preferable not expensive, max 1k baht.

Thanks my pajero sport friends, wish there was a farang pjs club, as 2nd club next to the Thai club with thousands of members.. Would be nice and show up at their meetings as well and combine those! I say someone register FarangPJS.com or ExpatPajero.com

Hans.

PS. Or even a club for all farang owned cars or just SUVs at farangdriversclub

- Hans

Pajero Sport Club has a foreigner sections btw and I've been to a couple of their meets. Most members speak English fairly well and quite often a few foreigners show up

Just call the Isuzu HQ and request a free English manual. They have them in English as they translate them from English to Thai.

Don't PAY for English Manuals. The dealer gets them for free from HQ.

Probably also the price I've seen a couple Benz wagons and they look great, but I can image they cost well over 3,000,000 THB.

Rich people who can afford it...

Thai people don't like wagons I think...The Accord wagon is also a very good looking car imo, but not available here

Often wonder if they had the option would they buy a 4 door Automatic Pickup then add a canopy + leather cushion + air con, would they not just buy a more comfortable Estate/Wagon ?

Same here...

They had an Impreza with the XV in Mega on Sunday. Boy, the rear half has been hit with an ugly stick.

Where was the impreza? I only saw a Legacy, XV and Forester.

Actually many workers at dealers (not only Mitsubishi) work for insurance brokers. I got a call once from a guy from Toyota who worked for TQM and he told me that since my insurance is almost up I should start looking for a new one.

Tokio Marine service with repairs ain't too bad if you live in Bangkok. They usually send you to one of the main Mitsubishi repair centers (Hua Mark, etc). If you can live with that their service is great.

I used to be with Bangkok Bang insurance and their service was good too. I used SCB insurance and it wasn't bad either.

I stayed with Tokio Marine, because they helped me twice without problems, can speak Japanese and offered me 950,000 THB insurance value. Which is more than Bangkok Bank offered me (900,000).
