It's been revised in some ways already before the release of the latest model. It's now been significantly reworked.

The 2023 Non-Raptor V6 is a diesel. But will they release it in Thailand? Currently on sale in Australia, NZ etc Long waiting lists!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The 10-speed tranny has been revised and updated for the new model.

Thank you. I'll do another try and see what happens.

I normally use a local Government Savings Bank ATMs because they charge a single withdrawal fee that's being reimbursed in full by Schwab. I've tried other bank ATMs and discovered an additional withdrawal transaction fee on top of the "normal" fee. The additional fee is not being reimbursed by Schwab. I keep hearing that "all" ATMs fees are being reimbursed by Schwab but that wasn't the case in my experience. Could you guys please confirm the transaction fees process?

There's a waiting list for most cars, not just electric. e.g. Hyundai: https://www.drive.com.au/caradvice/new-car-wait-times-australia-2022/ https://www.whichcar.com.au/news/australia-new-car-delays-top-20-models-affected-october-update

Available for purchase in Thailand?

@reddo1973 I've looked at Cotto grey tiles. A beautiful finish but the tile thickness was not that impressive as compared to Kera's. It looks to be Kera displayed in the picture above. I don't know about the available sizes but the most common Kera tile size seems to be 4x4.

Adding to MJCM's comments above... There could be many needs. In my case I need to periodically refill a HUGE above ground concrete rain water storage tank during the dry season.

Have you had a chance to compare the noise levels produced by your Scala 2 as compared to the "regular" pumps?

@poobear How much of a difference in motor noise between the Grundfos and the usual Hitachis and Mitsus?

Only 2.7% of all vehicles sold in Australia in the past year were EVs.

The sealant won't improve its structural durability (susceptibility to cracks or general water permeability) as compared to tile. IMHO, there's no any advantage to sandwash over tile other than the price. You might as well would want to take advantage of the superior material (tile) since the local cost of labor and the tile itself is so much more affordable as compared to the West. If you're concerned with having a non-slippery surface... There's a big selection of locally produced Non-slip tiles in various Non-slip R-** grades and designs. https://www.cottolife.com/en/tiles/innovation/r11.html https://www.umi-tiles.com/floor-tiles.html?SID=bs8su2uq2u5phrqv4mjgusipr0&innovative_tiles=373 https://www.directtilewarehouse.com/blog/anti-slip-tile-ratings/

@jethro69 "I wonder how that's done in Thailand?" Not sure exactly about the nature of the question. Just about every pro in Thailand, where necessary, uses cross lasers. Theodolites are always used by house builders for the site surveying and layout. If you refer to part-time builders (farmers) then of course, even the basic tools are optional.

@tweezer just be aware that "sand wash" finishes are not nearly as durable as tile.

They do offer an optional service to collect your samples, at an extra cost of course. I've collected and sent my samples out myself. I don't remember the exact cost but I think it was around 6-7K

Can you clarify your terminology? It's a little confusing. "Oz Colorbond" as in Made in Australia? "Bangkok made" as in Colorbond sourced from Thailand or you meant other non Bluescope branded material? Just to expand on my understanding. Bluescope is the Australia based brand. It has several coating plants in Thailand, also in other countries. All of the Bluescope branded color coated metal product for sale in Thailand is produced locally.

Any evidence or just unsubstantiated tale?

Irrelevant. Modern PU insulation takes care of that.

@livram You would have to remove the old tile. For the roof material go with the Bluescope brand of the color coated rolled metal. You can opt for the either grade: Colorbond - more expensive, thicker coating, I think 30 year warranty Zachs - less expensive, thinner coating, 10 year warranty Don't settle with the cheaper Chinese or Korean brands of metal, go for the best stuff - the difference in price is not all that great. But if you're on a real tight budget then those should be OK also. Make sure to get PU insulation. Most of the the roller-forming shops that sell those roofs have machines that add the insulation layer during the production process. 25mm of PU insulation is sufficient - it's really great, but the thicker layer would be even better. Bluescope shops are franchises. Just about every sizeable city has one. I bet you've seen this logo before.

Haven't seen anywhere any mention of "run-dry". And yes, I suspect that their collective experience is based on the local wells that don't produce enough of water to match the pump's performance.

I'm not sure about the exact model of the pump and motor but I do know its horsepower rating. According to your link my HP rated motor does say "Continues duty".

@Pi Tao Slightly more, but it's real decent: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/viofo-a119v3-gps-2k-quad-hd-gps-hdr-1-i1650782344.html?spm=a2o4m.searchlist.list.19.50c722c5heW57C

My deep well runs a 1 HP Franklin submersible bore pump. My relatives keep telling me that I shouldn't be operating the pump continuously for more than 1 hour to prevent it from burning up due to overheating. Supposedly their advice is based on multiple experiences in the local community. I've checked the Franklin pump generic manuals and couldn't find any mention of time limits for the non-stop operation. I'd like to get some confirmation from the knowledgeable folks on this forum. Thank you.
