So obviously linked to the Southern terrorists.

I remember when only Thai flew there with little prop planes that landed in the middle of the army golf course!

Yes!

I remember being weighed on what looked like an old Victorian set of scales under a lean-to with my baggage before getting on the plane at the old army airport!

When is the launch date in Thailand?

Consumption when traveling up country for me is about 8-9km per liter... and when stuck in bangkok city traffic or just city driving... consumption is at 5-6 km a liter... engine is a 2j that has only minor mods ...

What car do you have the engine in?

Anyone had any experience with cars converted to the Toyota 1J - 2J engines, standard ones not high performance Turbo ones?

Tops at Ocean

Cool. I know Tops at Robinsons, where is Ocean?

Robinson is in Ocean shopping mall. They had a decent Polish sauerkraut last time I looked.

Small tank is fine for my needs. But, what about spares availability/cost? Was told before I had my W123 300D that it would be expensive and hard to locate parts but over the past 5years things have been cheap and plentiful. Have yet to have an unreasonable/expensive bill! Think people were scared off by the Mercedes name!

as far as I know 900 was never manufactored here, but 850/V70 was. So assume in TH 850/V70 parts more easy to source at reasonable price. In addition 2,5 2 valve runs LPG for +500k km without problems.

Doughnut tank in 15" sparewheel room is 30 liter netto as I recall, appox 250km. You cold alos cut out square floor making room for twin cylinders, approx 50-60 liter netto

Friend has a 52 litre tank in a Vios, that has 14" wheels. That fits in without any cutting.

yep, vios/yaris have very deep wells, actually raised trunk floor. so does accord

Ahh! I see.

But does not the Volvo also have a storage compartment above the spare wheel? That would allow more depth.

Wheel well isn't very big.

Big enough.

Lots of them running around in Europe with this conversion.

Hmmmm, interesting but it looks small. What is the mileage range of this conversion.?

I miss my old 760

Not sure, probably 50-60 litre tank so would actually hold around 40-50 litres. Never had a Volvo so not to savy as to the consumption. But 95% of my driving is around town, rarely go on longer trips so not to worried about the range, if I only had 200+ km from it that would be fine.

Hi

I find myself needing more space than my car has and was thinking of a 940 estate. Does anyone have experience of running one of these over here? Parts servicing costs? Figured I would put a LPG system in using a donut tank in place of the spare wheel.

Cheers

No one like Merc's then or the vid not open.!!

Brilliant cars! Have a 1977 300D, extremely reliable and cheap parts.

Lucky old you . . . .a handsome looking car, over thirty years old. Reliable I can believe, but surely parts for such an old car must be very difficult to source, and as for being cheap, why would they be cheap, I thought scarcity would push the price up, not so ?

Had it for four years now. Everything that has been needed has arrived within 24 hours from Bangkok at reasonable prices. There seems to be a plentifull supply of original, copy and secondhand parts. Before I obtained the thing it was my fear but no problems so far.

Does anyone know what time and channel the opening ceremony will be shown? True HD? Nothing in the guides that I can find!

Cheers

Excellent car, have had mine (1977) for almost four years. Been very reliable and has huge mileage on it. Servicing and spares have been no problem and very cheap. The thing just keeps going.

I've had a Wave 125i for almost four years now and have been using 95 gasahol. Seems to run slightly better on it than on 91 gasahol.

They did use American V8 engines in long tail boats many years ago. Remember seeing them in the late 70s early 80s. But petrol was much cheaper then!

Anyone have an idea what the subscription fees are for True Visions in a small restaurant (about 50 covers)?

Mini bus to the Donsak ferry, about 1 1/2 hours then 1 1/2 hours on the ferry. About 200 Baht in total.

The bankruptcy proceedings are merely a way to restructure the company. GM is far to large and important a company to allow to fail and disapear. They and Isuzu will be around for many more years to come!

Had a similar problem with my old Mercedes. Was just a dirty fuel filter. Changed it and runs fine now.
