  1. Not necessarily, our lad took his Honda for a service, they told him it has a problem that will cost 40,000bht to fix, I said what's the problem, "Don't know, it drives OK".. That was about a year ago, we still don't know what the problem was... The idea of this forum is to ask, a simple fix may be found, many simple fixes have been found here before taking the next step....????
  2. But it's good to talk, sometimes we learn something...????
  3. Is it a 4x4.....? My 2007 Vigo auto was a 4x4, the only Vigo that could be bought with an auto at the time. In gear and stationary, the internal parts of the converter are not doing much at that low idle rpm, the converter casing is continuously driving the box oil pump, which it will do in or out of gear. I have only ever put an auto into "N" if I want to take my foot off the brake and use the handbrake, perhaps a long traffic stop. My personal thought is that continuously knocking in and out of gear puts unnecessary stress on the drive train, perhaps over a period of time it will show in the mechanicals. Your ride has a split drive shaft, it has a bearing in a rubber lined mounting, check it out, check the fixings, it maybe worth checking that the torque converter/flexplate (flywheel) fasteners are tight. The other thought is the lock-up part of the converter, but I have had no dealings with those to comment. I can't see how your garage can give you a job price unless he knows what the problem is..Unless he gets a box from a right-off, or he has a recondition-er contact...
  4. Yes, can all be done by post, I asked them a couple of months back how long it takes, he said about 4 weeks. Their fee for doing everything is 5000bht + the PP fee...
  5. Are you getting this noise when you start/stop when the ride is in gear or when you knock it out of drive or put into drive..? Has your habit been to put it into neutral every time you stop in traffic...?
  6. ....................................................................................of a good salary....????‍♂️
  7. My Lambretta TV175 did have an orange Ancelotti box, and Wal Phillips fuel injection...????..... But I had various boxes to suit my mood...????
  8. Perhaps they just like the noise, I was young once, and did enjoy the noise, just being different to the old farts....????
  9. I used to do that to my Vespa and Lambretta's back in the 60's....I never pretended to be anything else other than a "Mod".....????
  10. These people are low-life, I hope an example is made of them to deter others from ruining folk's day. Find the smelliest cell, please....????...............????
