  1. Keep us posted. Most important for piece of mind to ensure carb and ignition box, coil, stator replaced with NEW. Replace wiring harness also if possible to get one without soy bean insulation. Then you good for another 20 years
  2. I am surprised - don't know why at my age I am surprised by ANYTHING !!! 555
  3. I hear that. Been going there for over 15 years. Runs a good business. I have never had a problem - besides they always tighten the chain on my CRF too much. Mentioned once to leave it alone on warranty service and never a problem after
  4. I have a Snap On scan tool, which I neglected to bring. Now have a $120 Bluetooth which plugs into the ALDL and has access via cell fone for travelling. That being said without the scan tool and Live Data I would not have known about the faulty sensor
  5. Unable to imbed link. Click on it and it goes right to download. Google what I posted and it comes right up. The New Governors - Harvard Law Review copy and paste - Viola
  6. Mods - please move this topic to the Pub
  7. Harvard Law Review Prof. Kate Klonick∗. Private online platforms have an increasingly essential role in free speech and participation in democratic culture PDF available for download. Interesting read.
  8. While working in the Arctic islands during the 70's, Twin Otters ran on stove oil with zero problems. Just paint the top of the wing behind the engines flat black to mask the stains. Northward Airlines, Kenn Borek Air which flew all over including Resolute to the North Pole. Jet engines or turbo props - no problem. We even started a DC3 with a long rope and a pickup truck !!!

  10. The owner - he is the older gentleman who is at the front of the service bay and handles the preparation of the work orders, has passable English. But - as always - a good Thai speaker makes everyone feel comfortable.
  11. Be aware that Roojai - while easy to access online, is priced higher than other companies. Not much, but some. And I have found their coverage limits to be lower. The worst of both worlds - higher price and less coverage. But they sure are convenient. I have all my bikes with MSIG except the PCX - it is with Paiboon which was almost 1/2 of Roojai
  12. Poor Aussies ! Just watch a video where an Aussie company - good news for them - was paid by the Aus Taxpayers $871,000 to install 50 EV charging points in Sydney $17,420 each !!!
  13. I know that feeling. Is it a Honda Wave ? Nat Motors close to Maya shopping centre is good - I have bought 2 bikes from them, my PCX and CRF A full rebuild of the engine and transmission will be cheap, add a new carb, ignition and that takes care of the motive power. New brakes, wheels, tires, plastics if you need them not expensive. Good Luck with your faithful companion
  14. How bad is the condition of the engine now ? Burn oil ? Low power ? Knocking ? Labor rates are so low here that the existing engine, if it just needs to be freshened up, is quite affordable. Main and rod bearings, hone cylinders with new rings, mill the head and install new seals and guides, lap the valves. If all still in good shape but just tired, this will be your most cost effective option
  15. And get bent over - up to you. Me - I trust no dealers. I want to find out myself what is wrong, as the dealer will do nothing - most times - but throw parts at it. Case in point - my Isuzu tripped a check engine light. Got to MHS and stopped into the dealership. Service not busy so they looked right away. Need a new turbo I was told. It was a sensor that was bad. Those that rely on B-Q or dealers - the big box stores thank you !!! 555
  16. What is your level of knowledge ? I was a surface weather observer for 12 years.
  17. I renew mine - from Canada - every year for driving into neighboring countries. Never been back in years.
  18. You can find out what the code is for tho' - that is why it is called a 'Code reader" You can delete the trouble codes - all of them. For every system. Unless you have a POS like a MB or BMW or certain others which force you to go to the dealer to charge you outrageous prices for the smallest things. Seems like you don't have one either
  19. Then how do you know what the Check Engine lite says ? Or just run to the dealer ?
  20. Never in my life owned any Ford Was replying to your post that the car is too old for Expat to work on it.
  21. People who buy a computer controlled engine and do not have a code reader ? The mind boggles
