There is a trade off between sports handling and ride. Also, the lower the profile the harder the ride. I found Dunlop to be softer and quiet. If you want sport try Pirelli P Zero or Toyo Proxes TR1. Look on YouTube for tyre reviews.

I hear that nurses get 15,000 / month. Offer one 20-25,000?

Number one likely cause.... master cylinder seals. Do not try to replace the seals, just buy a new master cylinder. Do it now before you get to the point where the pedal goes all the way to the floor.... no brakes! Other main causes..... air in brake lines or old contaminated brake fluid (it is hydroscopic.... absorbs moisture and causes spongy pedal). Change fluid and bleed system.

This is why you rent a condo, never buy. Once bought you are stuck with any problems that come along. Noisy neighbours are a very common problem here. Get your landlord to complain on your behalf. Do NOT confront the ladyboy direct... this ends badly unless you are a Muay Thai kick boxing champion. Your only other way is to become a ladyboy.

As a former car salesman it was part of my job to appraise trade ins. Yes, it is possible to tell if the car has former accident damage but you need to be expert at it. The Thais are too good at covering up damage with bodged repairs. Either take an expert with you or buy a new car.

Like all farang in Thailand, I have had some odd experiences, including one sales girl who said if I bought the car she came with it. Most expensive short time ever! As for your own experience, take your business elsewhere.

Is there a finance company's stamp in the green book? Go ask them. The book, and the name in it, is also proof of ownership. If her name is in it, get her to sign over ownership to you using the DLT transfer paper.

Over moderated.

One thing I cannot get my head around. If you were gonna steal a car wouldn't you steal something more valuable?

Of the 127 precepts governing the conduct of a monk, one is.... they are not allowed to drive!

When dealing with Thais just make sure you get the money before you sign over the car.

If it is brakes, only use genuine parts.

White Spirit from hardware store. Silicone Remover from car paint supply store.

I have just done mine after 2 years away. Had to pay 2 years back tax plus a 300 baht fine. Only had to pay 650 Baht for the PRB. There is no fine or back payment on this.

VIN.... Vehicle Identification Number. It will be found usually on the bulkhead at the rear of the engine compartment. Take this number to a dealer and their computer should have a record of servicing. PM Da Roadrunner if you want someone ex UK motor trade to go with you to appraise the car.

Does anyone know a bar in Bangkok that is showing Formula 1 (WITH COMMENTARY and without background music or gogo dancers) Thanks Roadrunner

Velly solly, this same same hole left when tourism went down the drain. Caused by Covid, not our responsibility.

Can anyone recommend a good LPG servicing shop in Bangkok? Thanks Roadrunner

You may want to check if Cockpit fit copy parts. Only use genuine original parts for brakes. Copy parts can cause a variety of problems, such as scoring the discs if they are too abrasive (sintered pads), or lacking in stopping power. Conversely, overheating can occur if the pad is too soft. In answer to your original question, 2.5 ml is coming towards end of pad life. At zero ml the pad will cut into and ruin the disc (expensive). You will know it from the horrendous squeal it makes.
