I'd be waiting to get it home & try it before just assuming it isn't repaired or working correctly. Ask the repair guys to show you how to operate it correctly.

And you waited 2 months to follow up ???

Religious logic.

Can't argue with it, can we?

 

" Religious logic. "  Oxymoron.

In the USA, while you do not need a court order, you do need to go thru a legal process that legitimizes the will. When my mom passed as executor I had to file the will with the local county office along with the death certificate and they provided documentation that it was indeed legitimate. Once that was done I took that evidence to the bank and closed the account. 

The OP is in Thailand !

The question was not how did the chicken or the egg get here, or what laid the egg. It was simply, 'which came first'? Obviously the chicken. If the egg came first how would it have been incubated? The chicken came first, laid an egg, incubated it, and it hatched to create more chickens. Fertilization is another question.

My dear Newbie. Apparently you didn't pick up on the clue !!! Save you going all the way back & rereading my original clue, it's "REPTILE"

Here's a clue.   Reptile.

You may as well ask what came first the chicken or the egg. 

I've set my budget for the foreseeable future @  between 43 & 45. 

Definitely the egg.

Thank malt25,

 

But I want to send via post office, no container or anything big, just a small package, jar of pickles....might be too heavy for plane and too small for sea freight!

Hi Satearn. I've sent a few things via post to Oz. Not too expensive. Any, most,  post offices will have a rate calculator & advise you. I guess you have some idea of the weight ?

Cheers.

This is where I'd start.   "freight forwarding agents Thailand"  Plenty on Mr Google.

Wouldn't it be easy to call or visit a True shop & ask them ?

" If you married in Thailand, did your wife change her surname to yours? "

Yes, immediately. Her idea.

I'm not a Neville nobody ..........

My Neville comment was a generalization, as I'm sure you know. LOL

Yes, many home fixes for this issue, but not by anyone totally unfamiliar with the  workings.

OP, in your situation, I'd take the car to the dealership. Leave it parked & go shopping or whatever. Go back later & take it for the test drive.

But hey, just my thoughts.

I have been getting my car serviced at a few different authorised dealerships & can't fault their assistance or workmanship.

Don't believe all the Neville Nobodys on here, most dealerships will assist & honour the warranty.

Take it to Honda dealer, be polite, take the car for a roadtest with one of their staff. I'll be very surprised if you don't leave happy & the problem rectified.

Most issues at dealerships are directly related to your attitude.

Even an old fart like me can easily work out what OTOH means. Not necessarily lazy, just the way the world is going.

The rebar doesn't touch the roof though...

I think that you'll find in many cases it does. The rebar protrudes through the top of the concrete post & is welded to the beams & trusses to secure in place. BUT, the rebar doesn't protrude through the base of the concrete post so no contact with ground.

Suggest you let us know where you live & hopefully a member can recommend a bank that will appreciate your custom.

Somewhat like all the market stalls side by side selling the same thing.

Another rule, regulation that will NEVER be enforced.

Why on earth would you ask such a question?

 

Basically because I don't understand anyone putting second hand tires on their car. You don't know their history. Unobvious sidewall damage & other possible defects.

Top of the line tires can be expensive but some lesser know brands are fine for most driving conditions. At least they are NEW & usually come with some form of gaurantee.

As well as brakes & steering, tires are a BIG safety item.

In Europe and indeed the rest of the world  they are different stupid.

Different stupid for sure. Like Christians, Catholics being baptized. People kissing the Pope's ring. Priests or whoever walking down the aisle waving a smoking tin can. Wearing a cross around ones neck. And that's from a so called educated, civilized culture.

Different stupid for sure !!!

Why on earth would you want to buy second hand tires ?

You appear to be taking umbrige to many of the replies. I dunno why, you asked for it.

10 minutes is a tad too long but maybe, just maybe, she knows more about turbo engined cars than you think and she is waiting for the turbo to spool down (not cool down) before switching off so as not to damage the vanes.

 

Never know, clever girls these Thais......Damn sight more intelligent than the men.

Not quite right. The turdo will spool, slow down very quickly once the engine is turned off. Leaving a turbo engine running at idle is primarily to let the engine oil cool the turbo to the same temp as the engine. After a lengthy or fast drive the turbo will be much hotter than the engine itself. Sometimes in extrene driving conditions the turbo can be red hot. If the engine is turned off at this point the oil pump ceases to pump oil through engine internals, including turbo. With the turbo's temp so high it can, will crystalize the oil. The result is the oil in the turbo & return pipe to the engine sump becomes a solid mass. Next time the engine is started there's no oil feed to the turbo, oil pipe blocked by crystalized oil. Solid carbon. No oil means no cooling or lubrication to turbo.

I agree with your last sentence.

OP and Trolls aside.

 

Banking is frustrating here I agree.  My original account was with a KBank branch in Bangkok, we now live in ChiangMai and if I ever need something changed or updated on my KBank account ... I have to go to the branch I opened the account at.  Never mind we don't live in Bangkok anymore.   My wife (Thai) and I both have Bangkok Bank accounts in ChiangMai, but its the same issue ... anything more than taking or depositing money requires going to the branch the account was opened at.  It does frustrate me and even my wife doesn't understand why a branch refuses to service an account they didn't open.

 

Then again, to be fair, this practice of branch managers "making up rules" as they feel ... allowed me to open my original KBank account with just my passport and "tourist visa/stamp" years ago ... when some branches wouldn't.

 

As others have said .... TIT.  (Don't get me started on the fact I spent all day yesterday trying to buy a proper raincoat for my daughter and son, and all I could find was the silly trash can ponchos ... when it rains everyday for 1/2 the year!)

" My original account was with a K Bank branch in Bangkok, we now live in Chiang Mai and if I ever need something changed or updated on my K Bank account ...

"

There is a way around going back to the original branch to close your account. Withdraw all but 20 baht from said account at any branch. Open a new account with your funds at the branch of your choice. With only 20 baht in the account & no action for 6 months or so, you'll get a letter from original branch telling you your account has been closed due to minimal funds on deposit nil transactions.

Problem solved.

i nearly always get weird looks when i point to a star and say that it is the same as the sun, just further away. Obviously stars are different in Thailand.

Many moons ago, (pardon the pun) when I first arrived, I was in a conversation with some reasonably educated Thais about the sky, sun, moon & stars & such. I was trying to explain that many of the stars in the sky died many, many years ago & they were only seeing the light from the dead, extinguished star. How do you think that went ? Falang crazy man.
