Where do you live, on a motorway?

10km at an average 60km/h takes 10 minutes.

In most urban/suburban driving you are lucky to hit an average of 30km/h (traffic lights, junctions etc) - so that would be 20 minutes.

Up Country on 90 Kph  super dual carriage ways , side feeder roads are fast too Average car flow 110/20 is because 90 is a pathetic 60 mph. Great area to drive.

You may be an engineer but you missed the daily 10+ kms as in at least 10km/day.

 

10 KM is enough to charge the battery if it is done daily. A good battery would discharge very little overnight, unless there is a significant drain, so a very short drive should see it fully charged.

 

Sounds like she needs to explain the problem and all the symptoms to a trusted mechanic. Dirty battery terminals themselves can cause all sorts of mischief and often overlooked. Easy for a mechanic to check if there is something draining the battery when the engine isn't running. He can also drain the battery voltage down some at the shop, confirm with a voltage meter, then drive it a short distance to see if it reaches full charge again on return to the shop.

 

How long does the 10 K take her, round here thats just minutes.

Wish they gave points for tripping over the bloody Dogs on the way out.!

I used to teach at Assumption Convent School and officially we were supposed to give 10 minutes of teaching "morals" before every class. I seem to remember thee was a little religious service every morning before class where the girls had to stand still in the hot sun for about 30 minutes.

 

The nuns were incredibly strict but the students received an excellent education, with many of them going on to study at top universities in Bangkok and some went to study abroad.

I should haven given the correct title, Church of Assumption College in Ubon Rat. Their Marching Band was their Pride and Joy. I am going back 20 Years admittedly, but can assure you any Religious Mind Bending and mine would have been removed post haste..No nothing about Girls treatment, but if you saw it so be it.

I sent mine to Church of Assumption School, there were a few different nationalities present and can say there was no influences or pressure exerted towards the Catholic Faith. A Credit to them. 

Id love to see Euro Pansies play Ozz Rules. They would all be in tears by half time.

It is not a mistake. 

Although originally a "Jack" flag, in the early 19th century the term "Union Jack" was adopted as the name for the national flag everywhere.

During my time in the service I had to raise and lower the flag many a time, an accurate watch was essential.

Dont menton the Yangste Incident Sandy. or the Red Ensign. Flags are rater a complex topic that i find interesting.

These Turnips who love to tell us Google is Youre Friend, can now amuse themselves by searching Chinease Car Sales and that are a complete disaster due to Chinese Flu and Tyrany. These MG Fan Boys can then amuse us all with their pathetic defence of the Junk. 90% Down. Oh Dear.!

In the past 12 years here in Thailand I've owned a Toyota Pre-Runner and two Mazda BT50's, all from new. For the past 7 months I've owned an MG Extender. For those moaning about build quality, I reckon the Extender is at least equal to. if not better than the Mazdas. For what I paid for the 2 door manual Mazda BT50, I get a 4 door auto MG with an extremely (For me) comfortable interior with many extras that the other trucks didn't have. The ride is great and it accelerates better than the Mazdas and the Toyota.

Who cares where it comes from? Who cares that the MG brand is now owned by the Chinese? As someone said before, so is Volvo among others.

Instead of bitching on the computer, go to a showroom and sit in an Extender. You might be surprised.

Oh, and it has a 5 year warranty.

Another one running out of cash and going backwards. You should be up to a Fortuna by now.⚖️

Id go a bit daft if i could only afford rickshaw here after years O Graft..????

I second that, well except for the Dutch part, yikes......

Im sorry about that Rubbish we Call Cheese.????

I have nothing good to say about anything Communist, and so expect theres many more like Me out there. Its like Giving Jehad John cash to ruin our western lifestyle. Id feel a Total Traitor to my Dutch Nation. But thats just me.

At least this post gives us an insight how advertising makes Junk into a Suziki etc, you get thumped in Hong Kong for looking at a Non Commie ride????️‍♀️

Suppose if you were a little Commie in the West there no shame or guilt in supporting China. Being called Brother and given a Red Flag plus signed picture of Red Robbo may annoy the Mrs when you pick it up. She wanted a Honda anyway.!

Proton was the last Cheap Charlies Dream to get dumped here. They were like a Rolls compared to MG Beer Cans. Nowt beats a nice little Toyo/Honda for value, or a Suzuki. Their Volvos are worth nothing wordwide after 5 mins.

I though the English had a System called Go Fund Me that payed well.

If you look again you will see that at 5.10 minutes into the video Thailand had briefly reached 9th position.

 

Then came the junta engineered coup , goodbye investor confidence and Thailand dropped out.

 

Nice job Mr Prayuth .  

Total Lefty Rot.

Not enough to make  that Chinease junk slightly interesting. Those MG things are just gettin dumped around BKK like Ciggy Lighters if you care to look. Asians Reliant Robin.

Can we stick to the Back Pudding, something that realy matters.

When You Buy ask if it has a lousy  cheapo belt thing, if it does walk out.  Of finish up bickering here.

You could well be correct. I never had my Vigo that long to even think about it.

 

If you care to read my post you will see that I quoted what my last 3lt Tuna book said. And that was 90Kkm. As I said I did check with head office and they confirmed also that should change at 6 years.

 

Point of interest the English Manual and the Thai one's don't quote the same things. EG: I have just had a 40k service the English manual said replace the gearbox oil at 40k. The Thai one says inspect??? So you tell me what one is correct. I went by the UK one and changed.    

Nah nee Nah.! Jeeezus.!

Looks like Rubbish, thats why.
