SEVEN, you won't be able to see where your going.

Shell garage near Ambassador.....

How much of a difference does this make to performance on a standard vehicle? I used it on a big bike i had and noticed no difference.

JH

Bet it smoked a lot.

Does this mean a 30 instead of a 20 mph ride.

SOM NAM NA !

You deserve it, must be crazy to buy a Japanese car..

:-)

Excellent - I wonder if your last 19 posts in the last 5 years were as penetrating.

how do i support the troops of my home country if they are involved in military actions abroad? by keeping my fingers crossed? by touching wood? by praising the bravery of those who launch a cruise missile by pressing a button? by calling those who killed or maimed "scumbags" even if they are innocent civilians?

Weren't the original cruise missiles the V2 which were used to terrorize the people of London?

V1, V2 was a rocket.

I will PM my address.

Hi,

On a old car, ok..

But cleaning injectors on a modern car is not recommendent as the injectors might fail directly or later and worst case causes a complete engine brakedown (hanged injectors causing hydro lock). For todays car even some have classified injectors or corrected via calibration settings in the engine ECU, so the tolerence level is not any more the same as in old days.

Best regards former Bosch / Denso calibration engineer.

Hi stjp8729 ,,,,,,,, we have a 2000 model isuzu ,,,is that an old car ?? l am guessing it is ,,,, and thanks for the info guys ,,, l've been wondering aboout injectors for a while now

cheers

Hi Egg,

It should be classified as a "old" car so go ahead, but be aware about the garage is using the injector cleaning as selling point to get more money, and is really not a technical concern. Alternative is to fill two tanks with Shell V-power, should "clean" as good.

Have a nice day!

Hi stjp8729 ,,

l was thinking that when the next service is done at Isuzu,to get them to clean the injectors ,,, they "should" be able to do them properly ,,

thanks heaps for the advice

cheers egg

IF !! you can find a place that cleans with Ultrasonic ( Ultrasound ) apparatus, that is the way to go.

They put the injectors in a glass front machine, hook them up to a fuel line and you can see the spray pattern of each one. Then the ultra sound clean and refit in machine to see their cleaning results.

Must say l have never seen a ride MADE of kevlar that isn't painted to hide it.

So how many painted Kevlar vehicles have you seen, my guess is zero.

Just google kevlar cars , NON are shown in the ridiculous '' bare '' kevlar.

Kevlar is for wieght loss, nothing else.

I have, none show up in the search results.

Google carbon kevlar though, and there is plenty of hits, can you give me an example of a car made from kevlar.

Nice ride eh. Must confess l was thinking of the carbon variety.

Sorry, what is your point? Have a look at the same site at British Airways and you'll fine their 747-400s are older.

You are right, every component on a 747, or any aircraft has a life and must be replaced at the end of hours used. Noooooooooo problem.

Problem is with countries that do not follow the rules, thats why many carriers are banned from UK and other airspace.

I don't have any idea why men shouldn't wear shorts. I don't think they should go on diets, though.

I really hope thats one of those fair ground mirror images. PLEASE say yes it is.

Somebody forgot to tell my Father in law, he is 75 years old and still gets coconuts down despite the fact that he is quite wealthy. In fact, most of the people I know work their butts off. Perhaps its an Isaan mindset where the work is seasonal but in the South its year round and all the people I know work all the time.

Wish my Isaan outlaws were the same, l give them stuff to make life better, they sell it and buy beer.

I suppose you could look at it as though you did succeed Transam, as being able to afford beer is rarther important to some. At least they did not waste the money on French Postcards, and I do believe beer does have some food value. :jap: 5555555555

I should have said Lou Kou.

Scrap - 10 years is a good life span out of a fridge....

JH

That's the kind of advice I am looking for. Would new ones be more energy efficient?

YES,

if have the 1 to 5 scale for efficiency, eeeer, or is A to E, hmm, 1 or A grade must be an improvement on a 10 year old fridge.

I believe there is a fan on the motor,perhaps it's a bit wobbly and hitting the casing. Or the compressor is knackered.

10 years, time for an upgrade eh.

Proper staff training in LOS is a rarity T/A...

OK, l must agree.

d trained better if that's the case..

One feels you haven't been in Thailand very long.

One keeps hoping, I know it's a stretch of wishful thinking to expect such miracles however ..

You will not have to hope as you drive an old VW something eh.

Yes by choice, preferable to anything else new and most used at the insane car prices here as I'm not characterized as having more dollars (baht) then [sense] as so many are, and no need to tie myself to a long term losing investment when my days here are numbered eh? So what's your point? Incoherent as usual..

Let me translate his post for you T/A. It speaks to staff education and training in LOS in general nothing specifically related to vehicles...

Sorry, you know me, elaborate on your last sentence, just for me, please.

Hmm well firstly his business partner has not admitted the deed and the 'divorce' case brings in another possible motive for the killing. It may well be the business partner was the instigator or maybe it was someone else - we simply cannot know as we are not party to all the information. Often even when all the information is known the wrong conclusions are reached or(and more especially in Thailand) the wrong conclusions are paid for. Have no confidence in anything you are told or read here in Thailand - lying and cheating is much more commonplace than many other countries and little is actually, in reality, exactly as it seems to be.

Sadly having people killed here IS easy and cheap and far too commonplace. It is useful to examine why that might be. Is it poverty, is it greed, is it a failure of the education system, is it a failing of the politicians, is it a failure of the religious beliefs, is it a failing of the police or the legal system.

It strikes me that Thais are failed by all of these things. Poverty can drive people to extrememes but in this case the manager who is reported to have organised the hit must have been employed and so would not be in poverty compared to most Thais, The education system is a failure on many counts not least that most Thais are not taught to rationalise, being taught to learn parrot fashion is rather more prevailing. Many Thais seem to grow up thinking they are never wrong, do things wrong and just do not understand or do not want to understand their responsibility for their actions or believe the law does not apply to them as they can always buy themselves out of a problem - a function of corruption for which the education system and politcal system are the main supporters by their lack of action to denigrate it - also maybe in part the religion as it is interpreted by some Thais? Many of the police are open to corruption and it seems to be a perk of the job and I have heard reports and often been told that some of the judges can be enticed to arrive at a verdict other than justice and the law would direct.

I have often read how wonderful Thai society is - and there are some lovely aspects to it. However there are many aspects that are deeply flawed and so often lay unexamined because Thais do not like to examine, look at, accept or even think about anything that remotely shows Thais or Thailand in a bad light. Sometimes however it is useful to look at the bad things and try to make them better for otherwise how can any person and by extension, society become better.

Killing someone outside of the law can never be right and there is NO mainstream religion which advocates it - there may be extremeists who twist religious texts for their own ends but the poster who suggests the Muslim religion advocates murder is deluded.

It is time for Thailand to look within itself and start making an example of the people involved and convicted by passing the harshest sentence possible under the law and by publicising the fate of people involved in this and other sorts of crime such as fraud and corruption. Perhaps if the general public begin to understand that Thai society will not suffer this behaviour and is educated by the wide distribution of the results to the perpetrators, then the crimes will become less commonplace and more people will accept their civil duty to report and help prevent such crimes.

Very good post, it was me who posted about Islam, I am not deluded, just I can read, read this one thereligionofpeace dot com

It's rather off topic really, it was just someone mentioned that Thai's are buddhists and shouldn't commit murder. I reasoned that of all the religions I find Buddhism on the one hand to be the least offensive and Islam on the other to be the most offensive, and for good reason.

Thai's are still murdered daily in the South of Thailand by the so called religion of peace. I cannot see how anyone can deny such evidence. Most religions to my knowledge have commited atrocities in the name of that religion, except Buddhism. The Abrahamic religions being by far the worst. Not a problem when many gods can be accepted, it's the one god that makes the problem.

Sorry mate, nor arguing with you, as I say a good post, well written, and I agree with what you have said.

Muslims like to cherry pick from the Quaran the good bits when they are preaching their non violent claims to Westerners. Fact is Islam is utterly disgusting.

"When the LORD your God brings you into the land where you are entering to possess it, and clears away many nations before you, the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and stronger than you. And when the LORD your God delivers them before you and you defeat them, then you shall utterly destroy them. You shall make no covenant with them and show no favor to them. (Deutronomy 7:1-2)

"When you approach a city to fight against it, you shall offer it terms of peace. If it agrees to make peace with you and opens to you, then all the people who are found in it shall become your forced labor and shall serve you. However, if it does not make peace with you, but makes war against you, then you shall besiege it. When the LORD your God gives it into your hand, you shall strike all the men in it with the edge of the sword. Only the women and the children and the animals and all that is in the city, all its spoil, you shall take as booty for yourself; and you shall use the spoil of your enemies which the LORD your God has given you... Only in the cities of these peoples that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, you shall not leave alive anything that breathes (Deutronomy 20:10-17)

Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man intimately. But all the girls who have not known man intimately, sparefor yourselves. (Numbers 31:17-18)

+1, well put.

He works for Toyota what difference does it make? The staff should be vetted and trained better if that's the case..

Bait him and set a trap.

Good idea,

OP, sounds like its eating you a bit so the bait thing is worth thinking about. Don't forget to take up base ball.

I used to love mig welding, on car building stuff, hotrods etc. In the past now but l hope you achieve your goal.

50,000 baht for a hit on a farang seems a little on the high side. A girl in ubon province took out a contract on her newly wed european husband for 30,000 b a few months ago dont know the end result. silly old farang.

Silly old farang, hmmmmmmmmmm, did you know him personally.

If they worked there would be a lot of millionaire film and rock stars dumping their wigs. Be YOU, forget about your turf .

Anyone that chooses to live in the brothal of the Andaman shouldnt really moan about the visitors it attracts.......move somewhere that isnt so seedy and you will find the better class of tourist.

Is that so. I feel enlightened today.

Police are there to serve and protect! Not these ones in Thailand though. They serve and protect themselves only. They only act if they can earn some money.

Scumbags.

Serve and Protect their additional income at all cost.
