It could well be the fan motor, its sensor, or its relay. when the temp reaches normal or slightly above the fan should run, it should also run when you first turn on A/C.    When the car is cold, remove the rad cap, to see if it is full, run a while with cap off if your worried about air locks, you can normally see the coolant circulating .Water pumps normaly leak when nackered.

just to add, i once brought a fan motor from Nissan lasted only 15k klm 6k baht ! Brought an after sales motor from GT battery shop still works after 3yrs 2k baht. 

Thanks for this info.

I don't think the fan (There are actually 2 fans) is kicking in.  But if the fan was the problem would the engine not overheat quite quickly at idle because there is no airflow through the radiator?

I think the most likely explanation is that whoever changed the coolant did not bleed air out of the system after filling it.

 

If that is the case it will be an easy and inexpensive fix.

This makes sense.

I think it's too much of a coincidence that the problem occurred right after the coolant change.

Try this...

My trusty old Honda City (approx. 14 years old/190,000 km) has recently started to show overheating issues after sustained use.  It first showed the problem coming up the hill in Wang Nam Kiaow (so quite a lot of stress), However, after waiting around 20-30 minutes for the engine to cool down, I drove the car for another 350 km (not continuously) without any issues.  The car was then driven on an extended trip again and the warning light came on after around 150 km. I wasn't driving at the time but based on what my partner told me, the engine wasn't under any particular stress at the time.

From what I understand there are a few possibilities:

1: Insufficient coolant.

I don't believe this is the case because the levels in the expansion tank are midway between the max and min marks.

2: Water pump:

  If this was the issue, the problem would show up more often?

3: Radiator:  

Don't really know how to check this other than there is no obvious coolant leak.  Could it just be old and clogged?

4:  Fan/sensor to turn the fan on

How often should the fan run?  I don't know how to check this.  Should it come on after the car has been sitting idling for a while?

5: Any more?

One possibly important issue is the coolant was changed recently—just before the big trip where the issue manifested itself.  Could this be related?  I can't easily tell because the car is only ever normally used for fairly short trips.

Any thoughts appreciated...

Thanks,

It will (probably) be compatible.  I don't really know the technical specifics of the broadcast systems in Thailand but if you buy the box and it doesn't work it means that you will need to replace the LNB (the receiver in the middle of the dish) rather than the dish itself?

Also, do you have a ku-band (small solid dish) or C-band (large mesh dish) system? 

Seems to be back working now? How long for, who knows?

Of course, in the UK we flash our lights to give others way, but in Thailand they just sit there and do nothing, or wave their hands behind dark-tinted windows.

Rule 110

Flashing headlights. Only flash your headlights to let other road users know that you are there. Do not flash your headlights to convey any other message or intimidate other road users.

Rule 111

Never assume that flashing headlights is a signal inviting you to proceed. Use your own judgement and proceed carefully.

Thanks all.

I have changed a couple of taps recently and never bothered to use the tape.  Neither of them are showing any sign of leaking despite they guy who sold me the new hose being insistent that I needed the tape too.  The new tap even came with a small amount of tape included....

Do you actually need to put the white tape on a tap thread? Is the washer enough. I've changed a couple of taps without using it and there are no obvious leaks. 

But, should I use it? Is it good practice to use it?

I decided to take the approach of contacting PayPal and asking them how their new discriminatory decision fit with their polices on the subject.  Every time I chase and answer they tell me that they have 'escalated' the issue.

This leads me oi the simple and obvious conclusion that the decision does not comply with PayPal's published policies.

I suggest everyone who is as <deleted> off as I am to do the same.  Contact PayPal's support and ask them to identify the clause in their terms and conditions that allows them to discriminate in this way.  If enough people do it then they might get the message.

I ordered items from Lazada yesterday,  this time I received an sms from Thailand post.  www.ethailandpost.top. to complete credit card payment for the postage.  

I think this is the key to what happened.  Perhaps an unfortunate coincidence that you got what sound like a scam SMS right after ordering something.  Was there anything specific in the SMS such as item description/order number or your name?

Can you post a picture of what you are seeing?

Some the entries in the right click menu can come from indiviudal appications rather than Windows itself,

If you can work out which programs they are you could check those language settings.

Make sure Google Play itself is fully up to date...

How to update the Google Play Store

If you think that this is "proof" that you are NOT on overstay because of the 29th June date then you may be in for a nasty surprise unfortuntely.

TikTok is obviously in the Playstore.

 

Android mobile phones and TVs usually run different versions.

 

TikTok is more of a mobile phone app, both for creation and viewing.

 

Run the app on your phone and cast it to your TV.

 

Yes, the Playstore can/may geo-restrict apps.

 

 

Meh. No.

 

 

 

 

 

OK then, "some" apps.

It's a usually different version of the Play Store for TVs.

Different versions of some apps and some apps missing.  The apps need to be certified to work on a TV (meaning you can use a remote control).

"Most" apps will still work with a mouse if sideloaded.

How would "refurbished" or "off lease" laptops or other second hand equipment be described in Thai?

How easy it is for hackers to gain control of PC's.... And you all fall for it ????

I don't think this is a scam in any way.  The actual registration and download is from the F-Secure website.  F-Secure is a well-established company.  ZERO risk IF you manage to get it downloaded IMO,

Yeah, very good. First try. You need UK VPN to get this offer. Connect with UK VPN. After not working any way, because no account and this offer is not valid in your area. Thanks for nothing.

From a bit of Googling - the offer comes from some kind of tie-up with Virgin Media. 

Several tech forums out there discussing this,

I suspect the IP address may be more restrictive than just a UK one,  Probably need one that is connected with Virgin somehow,
