Electric Vehicles in Thailand
Andrew Dwyer replied to Bandersnatch's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Seems like you didn’t understand the post you quoted. If you have a home charger you don’t need any chargers near your home and only if you travel further afield will you need a charger. I have an EV and a home charger, the nearest outside charger i have used is around 200 km away. -

Have you thought about a spare battery ready and charged Owl ?? Here’s how it is done in Taiwan : fbsaver.mp4 -
Thai Post wrong delivery - they don't cooperate to find my parcel
Andrew Dwyer replied to teriyaki's topic in General Topics
The only regular post we get is the TrueVisions bill and they usually can’t be bothered to deliver that . They will wait until 3 or 4 have accumulated and deliver them together, 1 time they delivered 6 at once, i thought we had stopped getting a paper bill !! Live in a moobahn with a regular address, easy to find. -
Thanks, yes I saw that on YouTube, i wondered if the bladder was still intact but the nitrogen had leaked it might give me a false impression ?. Ordered a new tank from Lazada.

Similar, the check valve is on the input side of the pump and is a gravity type. The sound is louder on short bursts of the pump, if a toilet is flushed for example the sound is barely noticeable when the pump stops. IMG_3928.mov There is zero movement of the pump and the previous pump I had ( same type ) for 6 years never suffered this it just became noisier ( running ). I donated this to a family member who put remotely and not next to their bedroom window 😒 The bang is felt more at the motor than the tank but I feel this is just a result of the lack of cushion , burst bladder or lack of nitrogen in the tank, than an actual problem with the pump itself. After seeing someone posting a similar video on a Lazada review i have ordered a new tank. If i get chance i will take a look at the check valve.

The pump is not bolted down, it is very close coupled so the pipework keeps it from moving around. Will check if piping or pump jump around when it shuts off. The main issue is the noise as it is right outside our bedroom window and even with the cover back on ( plus a diy cover i made ) it is still a loud bang.

I have a Hitachi pump 3 years old drawing from a tank to feed the house. Recently when the pump stops it stops with a loud bang sound, otherwise it works perfectly. Am assuming it is the accumulator tank bladder that has ruptured or the nitrogen has leaked causing a lack of cushioning ?? Have seen replacement tanks on Lazada for around 850/900 baht . Assume replacing the tank is the best way to go ??

Nun gifts 7 million baht BMW to famous preacher

On a lesser scale: An old lady in my wife’s hometown ( rural Nakhon Sawan ) won some money on the lottery, she bought a new Neta V ( 549k ) for the local monk headman, he is still using the car 1 year on . -
BYD Seal tips, tricks and help
Andrew Dwyer replied to macahoom's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
@mistral53 I had a closer look at mine as it appears your pin is tapered and i assume mine is concave. Well my pins are the same as yours: But the mats underneath have the locking part : So your mats appear to be the problem. -
BYD Seal tips, tricks and help
Andrew Dwyer replied to macahoom's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Looks like the “ pin “ in the floor is tapered ?? Plus the mats have a steel ring whereas on mine it is rubber ! I believe you got yours earlier than mine ? mine was delivered Nov 30th. Wonder what other early adopters pins and mats ( i avoided using the word ring for obvious reasons ! ) look like ?? @macahoom ? Either way i should show your dealership my video . -

Watched the kids clean the house this morning, their weekly chore !, 19 year old girl taking great pride in sweeping and dusting the house to the best of her ability, 16 year old boy seeing how little he could get away with !! Little lady decided she wanted to go to Rong Kluea market in Saraburi, off we went on a 1 hour drive, luckily I like driving here ( seriously ). Had lunch , I had a wonderful shrimp and garlic spaghetti, little lady had a pad krapow moo and the predictable kids some Naamtok soup. The market was like a sauna !! and nothing different from our local ( Navanakorn ) Rong Kluea, had a brief visit. Decided to visit a temple on a hill we spotted nearby ( Wat Phra Phutthachai ). Some good cardio walking up the steps and some great views from the top. Fed some of the most docile monkeys i have ever seen with some of the most overpriced corn i have ever paid for ( that’ll teach me to be foreign !! ). Drove back home to some great Spotify music selections , little lady and kids slept through some of the best music the 1970’s has to offer !!. Not earth shatteringly exciting or mind numbingly dull but very pleasant.

That is surprising, as i said before mine fit fine, if only i could stop the little lady’s side from sliding forwards. -
BYD Seal tips, tricks and help
Andrew Dwyer replied to macahoom's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
What did you make of it @motdaeng ? I think it is the official update from BYD just not delegated to Thailand yet, the guy who posted the video seems to get a lot of insider info from China. As an OTA it seems very small: As mentioned the 3 finger air con trick is superfluous. Wireless Apple CarPlay is handy. Vehicle location on the app is also handy. Presumably there’s some additional tweaks. Still no shortcut to seat memory although I guess OTA programmers are designing BYD updates rather than Seal specific. Personally I would like to see some sort of Sentry Mode application, so the 360° cameras can continue to record for a set period after the car is locked. My front and rear cameras record in this mode ( sensing motion ) but due to 12v battery worries use 1 FPS and for a max of 24 hours. All round recording would be great if even for a short period. -
What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2024)
Andrew Dwyer replied to Rimmer's topic in Entertainment
Yes agreed i try not to watch season 1 of anything as soon as it comes out as when season 2 comes around am trying to remember what happened earlier ( those series that give an extensive “ previously on … “ are most welcome ). Billy the Kid is another case, season 2 stopped halfway through around 6 months ago with 4 episodes still yet to appear …… very annoying. -
In no way were you inferring that the solar panels on the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre were Chinese 😂😂 Pathetic !!

https://www.facebook.com/groups/844499835639464/permalink/7503199296436118/?mibextid=W9rl1R Here’s the YouTube video explaining the process, it is made by the Sinjet guy who supplies the rear/front camera and led mirror for Seal, Dolphin and MG4 etc. He side loaded apps for me, a young guy who is a confirmed geek but seems to know a lot of inside stuff about these updates. -

If am on an application that doesn’t show the air con shortcut button on info screen I use the steering wheel buttons to adjust temp or fan speed. It would appear this latest update to change fan/temp is over the top as we already have: Voice commands Steering wheel shortcut Info screen shortcut -
BYD Seal tips, tricks and help
Andrew Dwyer replied to macahoom's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Rumour floating around FB is that a new OTA ( 2403 ) could be coming soon, upgrades including: Wireless Apple Carplay Vehicle location on BYD app Open air con settings using 3 fingers on touchscreen ( 3 fingers on screen in any mode, slide up and down to adjust temp, left and right to adjust fan speed ) A video doing the rounds on FB explaining how to upgrade via a flash drive attracting the usual attention, it’s all in Thai ( and speeded up Thai at that ! ) so i can’t comment on its authenticity but it was posted by the guy who downgraded and side loaded apps for me. He seems to be in the know about all things BYD but even so i will wait for the OTA. -
Some great photos and prose as usual Owl . Eurovision song contest is a freak fest now, no good songs and everyone trying to win by being more outlandish than the others !! U.K. offering was disgraceful gay porn and managed to get zero phone in votes , i think even the LGTPMDHW+ ( 😒) crowd were embarrassed. Time to call it a day.

Applying for OA in UK
Andrew Dwyer replied to LivinLOS's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Yes but as the Thai Embassy in London will be issuing the visa I would go with their guidelines. MFA guidance has been wrong in the past, there was a glaring error on their website for many years ( don’t remember what it actually was ), Ubonjoe would frequently have to correct others quoting the MFA website. -
