The powder in powdered descaler is citric acid. It's a lot cheaper if you can find it.

My dog fits anywhere, no doggy smells too.

Congratulations

Where is @ExpatOilWorker when you need him!

My plugs into the car (CCS2) do get warm, but overly hot. Warm is normal, if it's uncomfortably hot, knock your charging down to 13 amp, but I doubt you'll need to.

That's exactly what I would do too. Expect the plug in the wall to get warm, that's normal.

There's a right and a wrong thing to do here, I think you already know what is the right thing to do.

I’m not worried about distance to dealership. My previous two cars had to be trailered to Chiang Mai (Mercedes dealer 180km away) and Bangkok (German main agent 800km away). As long as they will trailer them if they fail, I’m comfortable. I don’t mind a trip to Bangkok every year or two for a service, a road-trip occasionally is fun. I have 30,000 baht charging credit to use in the next 2 years so I need to start thinking about road trips.

I’m interested in what EV’s come from China in the large luxury type category, I think we’ll see something, maybe Honqi or BYD’s premium brand in the next 3 years. I could be tempted by the Yang Wang U9 if BYD make it available at a similar price to China or the Xiaomi Porsche knock-off (SU7). It’s a very exciting time to be a motorist.

Google maps on the infotainment system has a very high resolution map, the position update is probably something to do with app permissions.

Looking at your prices @Bandersnatch, I would go for the MG4 X-Power, it's only a little bit more expensive than the Atto 3 extended now and it's always going to be sought after on the 2nd hand market.

Google maps works and loads for me, but it only gets my vehicle's location at load time, it doesn't seem to update my location as I'm driving.

I agree with you that a lot of the new entrants have unknown history, but you can't say that about the big boys BYD, Geely, SAIC/MG, Changan. These are all huge, well-established companies. I hear nothing of Chinese EV's with faulty batteries. I hear of thousands of abandoned Chinese EV's because the owners (rental companies etc) went bust, but faulty batteries is almost unheard of with Chinese EV's.

Out of your list, I would go for the Atto 3 although I would probably look for a 1 year old Seal or Atto, you'll probably find another Seal AWD for the same price as a new Atto. I'm also very fond of the MG4, I understand the D model now looks the same as the X with the rear spoiler.

Mine has been done at service too, I got GBox and a couple of my apps disappeared. I sill can't get ChargeLoma or PlugShare to work. I still have Aurora Store which I installed a long time ago, it is like a Google Play store so I can find almost any app and download/install it from Aurora.

Learning the Thai language is key. It's impolite to live here and expect to speak English, and a showstopper for many relationships. Get yourself to a language school. You'll also meet Thai girls learning English.

Correct me if I'm wrong, The differentials are :- One surgery was dental, the other plastic surgery The commonalities are :- Private Hospital Surgery Anesthetic Botched Operations Fatalities To my untrained eye, it seems there is quite a bit in common, wouldn't you agree?

So you know the timeline do you? Explain it please…

Good to know

I don’t know how an Anesthetist could make such a basic error, he has one job, put the patient under and monitor oxygen levels. It sounds to me like no anesthetist present. I’m no fan of private hospitals, money first, inexperienced doctors and poor equipment. I had 2 operations for skin cancer at a private hospital in Chiang Rai, very little equipment in the OR, same OR, same Surgeon. Both times resulting in Sepsis requiring 3 day admission and IV antibiotics. My friend died from Sepsis in the same hospital and another of my friends forced to stay over a week there from Sepsis. 3 operations in the government hospital here with a far better OR, many more nurses, better equipment and far more professional. I wouldn’t let one of the private hospitals in town near me with anything sharp.

On a 10 year old car, I think I would just live without that functionality and not spend a penny on it.

If you like your rooms at 21C go for 18,000 BTU, if you like warmer go for 12,000 BTU, it's probably adequate. I think the quality of most of the brands now is superb. I rent out some properties so it's important to me that they just work, every day. A couple of brands I don't like because they need resetting after some power cuts (Daikin, Carrier, Fujitsu).

They have sales every couple of weeks, to get the best price, you have to got all the necessary vouchers which is fairly easy and the platform wide voucher, I can't remember how you do that, I think its on the home or account owner's screen.

You are supposed to be able to buy a card from MG to allow you to use these superchargers, good luck with that. Just like ReverSharger, these MG chargers a clone of another well known type, at our local dealer it's only 50Kw however.

I have to confess, I did nothing. I just walked around the car, saw it wasn’t damaged and drove off.
