RIP Mobi A bit before my time on the Forum but I visited his Blog often and he seemed a real nice family guy. Loved seeing the care and attention he gave his wife and daughter.

Yes, and it is a pretty damn nice looking motor too. The ideal situation for those who are on the fence about going fully EV and think PHEV is the ideal, current, situation, myself included.

There was a thread on here about 3 years ago, a Portuguese tourist found a backpack left on a bench while waiting for a bus at the airport. It was there for about 15 minutes and when his bus arrived he decided to take it. I don’t remember exactly what was in the backpack but I think there was a tablet or a laptop. The next day feeling guilty he took the backpack to the police and admitted finding it thinking he would be deemed a “ good guy “ …… wrong !! He found himself in IDC and was subsequently deported . Okay, so not a great comparison with this case, but a good vote for the “ if it’s not yours don’t touch it “ crowd.

The Jolion is very similar and only slightly smaller, saw them together at a mini motor show at my local mall, I have to look at the badge on the back to see if it’s a H6 or a Jolion when spotted alone ???? The use of 2 coloured interiors is a little strange at first but, like the MG, will get used to it in time I guess. Particularly like the Jolion in white but not 100% sure of this

GWM certainly makes some great looking cars and a 201km PHEV will no doubt be in demand, initial rumours were that the price would be 1.4 million at least. The H6 is a little too big for my liking and hopefully there will be a Jolion PHEV.

In the end impatience took hold and i cleared a lot of the existing grout ( from where it sounded hollow underneath. The gap was very small, less than 1 mm mostly. Bought a 20 ml syringe and injected as much grout as I could into where the 4 tiles meet. Then a combination of the gf tapping the tiles with a screwdriver head while I pushed grout into the gaps with one of those plastic spatula thingy’s, the tapping works well and the grout is seen disappearing into the void. The small gap made removing the grout difficult as I could only get a box cutter in there so removing the tiles would have been more work than I was prepared to do. It’s done now and I think it’ll be okay, time will tell . Wish I had waited for Bassosa’s post about the tile repair glue but c’est la vie ????

Wish I had waited for your post ????

That’s quite a jump from silicone ?

a) it was a joke b) it was 7 months ago c) seriously ?

This is the video that attracted my interest to the product, as you can see it is quite fluid. On a longer video it is recommended to use a syringe for small gaps.

Hoping for something a bit more fluid to ensure it gets right under it, silicone would no doubt get far enough underneath to stop it moving but wouldn’t eliminate the total gap so maybe still a danger of it cracking at a later date.

Yup, although it clicks and appears to be loose, only about a quarter of it is hollow when I tap it so I think it might be tough to get out and am still hoping to leave it in place. The super glue idea is a good tip though!

Yes, that was my original plan until I decided to take a look on YouTube and got interested in the Fix a Floor stuff. I’ll post the video.

Yes , i saw those but most of them are just to touch up discoloured grout, i need something that will flow, or be forced , under the tile to stop the movement.

Yes, exactly. I like the idea of using a caulking gun but with a more suitable product, the TOA Fast Bond looks favourite so far .

I would be worried that stuff would lift the tiles !!

In one bedroom I have 4 x 60cm sq floor tiles that are hollow underneath where they meet. One in particular “ clicks “ when walked on. I don’t have any spares and would prefer not to remove for fear of chipping the edges. Movement has caused the grout to come loose as seen in photo. On YouTube there’s a product “ Fix-A-Floor “ which is applied using a caulking gun but cannot see it on Lazada. There is a very small gap between the tiles so the method of drilling 4 holes and injecting the product in , as seen on YouTube video, wouldn’t work well in this case but the using a caulking gun method appeals to me . That’s a 1mm drill in the photo !! So, anyone know where I can find Fix -A-Floor or similar alternative or anyone have any advice about this ?? I see a TOA Fast Bond product which translates as All Purpose Nail Glue?? TIA, Andy

They will be kicking themselves when they see another price drop today !!

Tomorrow, down again !!

Yup, E85 didn’t give great results for me and with the 3,00 baht drop of 95 I resorted back to old faithful. On other news , I spotted my first MG ZS EV 2022 today, looks good !!

I was getting 14.5km/L on 95 for a year and a half, seeing my car can run E85 and a poster on here was quoting 11km/L I decided to give it a go. Saw no “ increase in performance “ on E85 as quoted here and couldn’t achieve 11km/L My conclusions. E85 is 85% the cost of 95 but gives only 75% of the fuel efficiency ! Back to 95 for me .

Saw my first ZS EV 2022 in the flesh today in blue, while I was unsure about the front grille, from videos I have seen, it looked pretty good.

On the contrary, the OA visa and retirement extension thereof is the reason the op , and many before him, are converting to an O visa. I will be doing the same in a month .

I booked a flight, about a month ago, BKK - MAN - BKK on Qatar for mid Aug, paid roughly twice as much as i normally would. Could have found cheaper options with long layover or travelling Saudi Air . Having seen the reports about increasing air fares and expected to pay more, what I wasn’t prepared for was the increase in rental car prices ( U.K.) . Almost 5 times my usual quote !! , with a bit of messing around managed to get it down to twice as much. The good old days of cheap travel and rentals are gone, wonder if they will return ??

Yup, my route to the airport ( 80km ) 32, 9 and 7 is 120 km all the way, also passing through 3 different provinces. Going North on the 32 the majority of the 150 km is now 120 max 100 min and passing 4 provinces .
