    Oh dear..... now that stuff is awful. 

    I just go for Leo as I dislike SIngha and Chang, and Heiny is usually over-priced. 

    Your last sentence .  Agree , Leo8 is ok on a warm evening , not sure it will be ok tonight though as now on the second day of continual rain. Chang draught is ok but Singha not so , but we are all different .

    Truth is I like beer not bottled lager.  Hick's Special Draught in Cornwall .................ah them were the days.

    I have had the same problem, the easy fix is to disconnect the battery for a minute. When it is reconnected, the ECU chip resets itself. Sometimes it would go away while I was driving.

    I have not had the problem for years, not sure if my mechanic installed a new ECU. My car never broke down while that yellow light was on, if that's any comfort.

    Thanks Lacessit , going outside right now to disconect the battery.  Went to Big c in Chaingers and no problem. Wife is still full of doom and gloom and says it should go in tomorrow ....AGAIN !

    When people ask "where are you from?" I usually answer "Buriram"

    What they really want to know is "What is your nationality?"

    With you there , love winding folk up.  ' Where you from ? '  Maechan.   ' No before that '.  Oh that would be Hua Hin.

    Depends on the age of the vehicle. I have my 2006 Toyota Vios serviced every 5000 km by an independent mechanic, who keeps it running smoothly.

    It also depends on the oils being used in servicing, full synthetics last longer than a petroleum based oil with additives.

    10,000 km IMO is a reasonable service interval, I don't take any notice of time recommendations. Those are just to assist the bottom line of service operations.

    A bit of a sore subject right now , my Vios is about a 2006 model , the yellow light came on a couple of days ago , you know the one , little yellow engine warning.  The independent mechanic that always looks after the car could find nothing wrong , he plugged in his computer gubbinz could find no fault , took it round the block and said car is ok.  Today in about an hour we are going to Chiang Rai in it , 'er indoors is very worried of course as they always do.

    When it's hot, like now, we mostly run the AC throughout the night at 25 degrees, as well as having a fan on low at the foot of the bed. When it gets cooler, we usually just use the AC for an hour or two when we go to bed.

     

    Running the AC while at the same time having windows open sounds like absolute madness.

    First para. exactly the same as you.  Out of the shower into A/c room then around 2 am A/C off and fan on with a window open.

    Second para. A couple of days ago I got back to the car and it was very hot inside so I opened the window on driving off and put the a/c on , lovely too.
