Having bought myself a EV I’m now looking to have the home charger installed in my garage, could anyone suggest a good electrician that can do the install for me?

Thank you

Are you joking? I wouldn’t pay to watch those overpaid pansies rolling about on the ground as though they’re going to die just because they’ve been tapped on the ankle! Who in their right mind would? Now Rugby I would!

If you can afford 32 million why would you want to work?

RubbaJohnny, I agree with all you suggest but it’s the Thai mentality that needs to change & I don’t think that’s going to happen in our life time. Take care

Transam, your telling me I can get this done at a machine shop, would you be kind enough to tell me which one  Thank you

Thanks Transam, but do you know where I can get this job done as I can’t find anywhere that will do it?

There is no mention of valve seat replacement in the service manual if the spec is out of limits after recutting the head is to be replaced! So I need to find someone/somewhere who can recut the seats to spec. Does anyone one know where I can get this done?

 

Thanks guys

 

 

SR Machine shop is still in business I used him to make some drill guides about 6 months ago.

Are you trying to tell me to have him make some new valve seats or that he can recut my valve seats? 

In my service manual it says to replace the head if the valve seats have been recut but are out of spec not sure they can be replaced so I need someone that knows what they are doing & can be trusted.

 

Thanks again

I have already lapped my intake & exhaust valves but the majority of them are still leaking when I do the water leak test, so I’m thinking my valve seats are bad & need refreshing/re cutting!

 

Can someone please advise me of a competent place that can do the valve seat cutting?

 

Thanks again guys

Thanks for your reply, I need to find a place that can do the valve seat re cutting preferably in the Pattaya area but I will travel if need be....Do  you know of anyone/anywhere that can be trusted to do the job? 

Thank you

I initially did a valve leak test using water & most of the valves leaked....I have lapped new valves in myself but it has not cured the leak problem so I’m wanting to get the seats recut. Just wanting to know any place that can be trusted with the task.

 

Thanks

Hi,

Would anyone know where I can get  my engine intake & Exhaust valve seats recut.?

The valves have been reground/lapped but still leak doing the water test.

I am living near Pattaya but will travel to have the job done.

 

Thanks

I’d have done the exact same thing ( if I had a gun )! A gang turning up at my house no one in uniform, how are you expected to know they are Police?

Does anyone know the law/regulations regarding using car tyres on motorcycles in Thailand? Can they be used legally?

Just seen on YouTube, in the USA some are using Car tyres mainly on the rear of motorcycle as they “say” they last 4 times longer than motorcycle tyres & do not have too much adverse affect on handling? 

Sounds to me it could be dirty fuel, I would change the fuel filter.

Hope you solve your problem.

I attached mine using VELCRO.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I was looking for a club or group that I could join for meet up's & drive outs. Any other farrang out there want the same thing?

I do the maintenance myself,the parts I bring back myself as I work abroad.

Going stage 1 in a couple of weeks, probably APR.

Drive safe, Chris

Konying,

I admire you for your charity...but as you said, he needs help, but I'm not sure what form of help is needed? If the Thai authorities detain him, what would his future be?

Hi guys,

Are there any expats who own a Volkswagon....or is there a VW club for farrang/expats?

I have joined the VW society club, but unfortunately the website is in Thai & mainly Thai nationals (as expected)& do not receive any information with regards to meet ups, club meetings etc.

I can only think it was a USAF stealth bomber going into or flying around Utapao airbase. Did you get any pic's? Maybe a UFO?

My wife tells me Chevrolet have a bad reputation for service in Bangkok, its one of the reasons I was put off buying a Chevrolet. Surely not all dealerships are bad but TIT

Maybe you can ask the other residents in the Condo to complain too & maybe you would have more chance of your complaint being upheld?

Thank you for your replies.

Cant believe no one in Thailand sells them?

But I guess having a set made is a good idea.

Thinking about maybe importing some Rhino ramps (rhino-ramps.com) but its going to be expensive.

Thanks again

 

Chris

Hi,

 

Would anyone know the best place to buy a set of car ramps in Bangkok?

They don't seem to be very popular

Visited places like Autobacs & Cockpit to no avail.

Probably somewhere in china town sells them!.

 

Thanks

I know the VW Golf GTI Mk6 is only available as a 5 door through authorised dealers, I also wanted a 3 door.

Not sure about the new MK7 or if it's available in Thailand as yet
