3M ceramic coating is the way to go, look for a reputable car treatment centre, such as JS PRO near you, best done asap to retain that “ new look “. I wouldn’t attempt to diy anything like this unless you have experience in the business. If you are looking to keep your car in pristine condition on a budget then the normal rules apply. Cover it at nighttime to stop jingjock or cats making it their bed. Seek shade whenever possible but avoid parking under trees at all times. Be that guy and park at the extreme end of the car park to avoid the 8 people in the pickup parking next to you. Someone will be along with product recommendations for diy.

Like all things related to immigration these home visits will be conducted in a different manner by different IO’s. Mine came promptly and to an advance booking, took the standard photos : 2 sitting on the sofa holding open passport, 1 outside in front of the house number and 1 of me alone sitting on the bed ( bit of a surprise that one). Didn’t ask for bank book and used passport only for photos, asked for a photocopy of my partner’s id and added it to the pile of paperwork ( which already had this copy ) created when applying for extension. Questions were related to how long we lived here and where lived before, partner signed something, I didn’t. Mildly annoyed at the thought of a home visit but it was completely painless, the IO and trainee seemed embarrassed to be there. I see it as part of the immigration process, 5 years ago had a visit on 1st extension from an OA and this time 1st extension from an O visa. If it becomes an annual affair or random visits start appearing then that definitely is an “ uptick “ but at the moment I am not seeing this. A friend in another IO location is doing the exact same as me ( kill OA extension, return visa exempt, O visa and retirement extension ) and no hint of a home visit so far.

Hope it works out for you. Some Immigration offices seem very relaxed about taking our passports or keeping us hanging on . I do know how you feel, I had my home visit on Tuesday but still have to wait until Dec 13th to return to immigration to get my extension and my O visa expires on Dec 14th. I feel annoyed because i have since found out that the home visit should have been done on application for O visa ( while I was on visa exempt ) and not for retirement extension as my IO have seen fit. Should have been resolved by October 1st.

I can open them on my iPhone 13, did that this week as the approval email says the receipt of notification is attached, it never is ! I can open both the TM47 and Receipt of Notification PDF’s. I get a pop-up message: Click Allow and the files open. I usually then just take a screenshot and save them on my phone.

That’s what I heard also. I had a home visit yesterday, I recently returned visa exempt and obtained an O visa here in Thailand, applied for a retirement extension and am now under consideration pending the results of my home visit. In my case the home visit should have been upon application for an O visa and not the extension but seems like the IO missed the boat. Home visit was quick and painless. Expect to see more under consideration stamps for retirement also now: NOTE: have been here since 2016 on an OA visa and subsequent retirement extensions , changed non-imm visa to escape the insurance requirement.

EV Owners … Real life experience & help thread

@KhunLA Did you manage to offload your ZS ICE ?, and if you did were you relatively happy with what you got for it ? -
I’m getting an intermittent fault on my reversing camera and the screen, it’s random, appearing 50% of the time like this: It is all tucked behind the back bumper but I found the camera/wiring and its connection : I would like to remove this connector to give it a “ blow out “ but it isn’t coming out easily. Am I right in saying a small flat screwdriver down the slot is required to release it ??

I must look older than my years Owl !! It was 1961 ( year I was born ) when Leeds changed to the all white kit and was indeed under Don Revie .

Mine came with 2 keys also.

Here’s from my manual: Mine is definitely for spare power supply ( or when the internal battery dies ) . You can see it plugs in under the number keypad. I also have 2 spare emergency keys for if I forget the number code. The Jack plug on mine is 3.5 mm, standard for headphones etc. Yours might be a different size but i’m pretty sure it will plug into the keypad somewhere , look to see if there isn’t a removable panel somewhere also, mine has one over the handle and hides the keyhole.

What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2022)
Andrew Dwyer replied to CharlieH's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Candy ( 2022 ) tv series 5 episodes. True story of Candy Montgomery, quiet mother and churchgoer accused of killing her good friend in 1980’s Texas .Did she snap, was it self defence or is she innocent ? Jessica Biel stars as Candy. Liked this, had a bit of a Fargo feel to it, slow paced but keeps you interested. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13729648/ -

It’s as @Crossy states the emergency power to open the safe when the battery in the actual safe dies. Somewhere on your safe ( externally ) there is a socket for the Jack plug on your “ emergency power “ thingy . Put batteries in it, plug it in , input your code number to open safe and change internal battery. This is what mine looks like:

I owned one , a C4 Pallas Sedan , certainly was very nice inside but boasted the badly thought out stationary centre of the steering wheel, widely acclaimed as a bad idea !!

Hence “ on mine “ ??!!!
