  1. What price is quoted on the ticket?

     

    Loopholes permit vendors to charge for services. Such as grouping numbers which generally suppresses the availability of real priced tickets. Obviously the government purge a while back was an outstanding success!

    Nothing selfish about in some respects many farmers are poor.  Until the Thai govt help farmers they will go on burning it's the cheapest way for them,  

    The problem is more akin to the reapers and transporters of cut cane. Not helped by a shortage of mechanical harvesters.

    Less work to burn than trim the leaves and an advantage of getting more on a truck because of water loss.

     

    This season we signed a contract for the cane to be harvested by a John Deere harvester (a premium cost). The contractor came along and burnt the cane in the early hours then cut it with the harvesters.

     

    Referred it to Lawyer Dagget and await the outcome.

    Yes.

    A true statement.

    However, would it be a competent and effective repair, in continuance with structural integrity?

    If you repair the damage by auspice of your own insurance, there's at least an element of control on your part.

    Abrogating that responsibility to an unknown entity wouldn't be my recommendation.

    So right for me paying cash years ago, maybe different now.

    When buying my new Toyota for cash 861,000 they wouldn't even knock the 1000 off at the time.????

    Potential exchange rate changes could have a significant effect on the cost of a vehicle if purchased on credit. Dependent on the funding stream.

     

    2% of the value is generally the rate for a discount, but that can vary dependent upon the dealership.

    In the Uk FORD was known as FRAUD  had a lot of comapny car Fords ,, they were poorly made

     

    The FIESTA was a FESTER

    Rge TRANSIT VAN was a RANCID VAN

    The CORTINA was a CRAPTINA

    The ESCORT was the EXTORT

    The CAPRI was the CRAPPY

    The SIERRA  was The SPAREUS

    THE MONDEO  was the MUNDANO

    The GRANADA  was the BASTARDA

     

    The Ranger is the BEST looking Pickup in Thailand but it is not the best for reliabilty especially the engine ,

     

    Get the Thai consumer protection board on the case they do have real teeth

    When compared to what marque within those timeframes?

    Relative comparisons within those timeframes would show a different perspective for vehicles available in GB.

    How many Best Car awards were given to Ford within your timeframes for the models you stipulate?

     

    Exempting the eco-motors what are/have been the problem motors and why?

    Many years but not a lot of experience it seems. Extractors are used all over the world by more and more car dealers or service centers...

     

     

    My wife arranged a dealership mobile service for her daily runner. They vacuumed the oil and replenished the oil.

    Later I checked the oil level and it was above the hi-mark with a cold motor. The old oil hadn't been fully drained before replenishment and subsequently the new oil wasn't clean.

    After a discussion I vented my frustration at the dealership manager and got the service redone at the dealership. Free of charge and I supervised. 

     

    Oil pans have galleries to prevent scavenging during driving and there's no guarantee the suction tube has reached the lowest point. Nowadays motors tend to have a lower cover for aerodynamic purposes.

     

    Opting to suck is purely a financial decision and it doesn't all come out come out without expertise..

    The algaecide is essential once black algae has been detected. Scrubbing it will of course send fine particles into the surrounding water, so the filter must be particularly clean. In the worst case scenario the sand should be changed.

    When the algae appears to have been removed, shock the pool with Dichlor or Cal Hypo. Continue to use Algaetrine for a while as a prophylactic.

    Copper Sulphate. Available at a low cost compared to propriety stuff.

    Use at 50% of the dosage you see on the interweb and add on at least a 5 day interval until cleared. It's difficult to counter if you overdose.

    "UKRules". "I told them to go and get me some bags". And in that small statement we see why some people get the rest of us a bad reputation.

    Maybe they should've worn the all inclusive cargo shorts with their expansive pockets and a strong belt to hold them up when loaded.

     

    Saw an entrepreneurial  young fellow outside one of the local 7/11's earlier today. Selling plastic bags purchased from Makro. One bag 1 Baht, 3 bags 2 Baht. Hardly high end products, but was getting an ROI over 250%.

     

    Perhaps this will become more commonplace. Especially if these incidences get posted on social media. Thais aren't the self apologetic drones you encounter in the 1st world nowadays.

  9. Amazingly some land markers have a tendency to move around and some have the ability to disappear entirely. Having said that, they are referenced by a centralized geodesic reference which is annotated on the chanote.

    The neighbors motives should be regarded as questionable regarding fairness and what you do depends upon how much you're prepared to lose.

    If validity is important to you, trusting some Joey Bagodonuts to fulfill your expectations could be a big mistake.

    This post is about advertising their product. Ok it might be of interest but we are in Thailand so things are a tad different here.

     

    As Don Mega has stated he put in Lazada ones and they are a vast improvement. Suggest you get out a bit more and see what's going on at your local fitting place. Like I have. Happy Christmas. 

    Positioning of the LED substrate within the lens assembly is probably the most important factor when considering replacements.

     

    Cross reference charts are readily available.

    So I spelt a thing wrong. You have to get a life TA. There is a life out there other than the internet.

     

    While I'm at it your site is a Yank site they have lots of Bulbs to select from. This if you had been out you would have noticed is Thailand. We don't get the selection they get. But we can still get things that are good enough for an improvement. Even if only 90% better. And for a few K BHT if it improves you night vision things will be fine. 

     

    Off now as I have had enough of your dribble, I'm off to take the G.L out for lunch. That's once I have turned off my international TV set up. Oh that's also available here you know and for free.

    Bad spellers of the world should UNTIE.

    hydrochloric acid usually does the trick leave it on for 15 minutes then jet wash it off

    Look at a pool supplies vendor for purchase. It's not expensive, but potent. Seriously consider PPE when using and maybe diluting before use. Always add acid to water. Not the converse. Using free flowing water from a hosepipe to rinse is preferable in restricted areas.
