  1. Had a visit from the local police this morning,they came with a form that was headed "Transnational Crime Coordination Unit Region 5 (tccu r5)".

    They wanted to know name,nationality,DOB,monthly income,mother and fathers name ,telephone number,height,weight,hair colour,any scars,date of marriage place of marriage etc.,any one else had any visits like this?

  2. ever hear of down shifting?

    its the second thing you do after using the emergency brake.

    the drivers should be using a combination of down shifting and braking every time they need to slow down.

    i know, that is two things to do at once, but you will get the hang of it.

    lets hope the kid is OK.

    and get these stupid police check points of the roads. they cause more accidents and traffic jams.

    changing down with an automatic gearbox,please explain.
  3. Just came back from Chevrolet,and they changed the both front wipers.
    And did you pay anything?

    [/quote nothing all,only three signatures and not on blank checks.

    So all in all there was no problem at all.

    Yes you are right, I think that the service that I had with Isuzu was they would change whatever was needed without having to ask permission, and I thought that was standard with other companies,but you live and learn.As I drove into the service area they came out and changed the blades straight away ,no complaints what so ever ,better service than Isuzu.
  4. As others have already noted, there are several parts of your car that are considered consumables, and thus not covered under warranty. Wiper blades, light bulbs, tires, brake pads, clutches, and all types of fluids.

    Wiper blades generally remain useful for at least 2 years in Thailand conditions - so yes, it is unusual for them to be failing so quickly. Have you been using any harsh soaps when washing the car? Putting any additives into the windshield washer bottle? Adding any type of protectant to the rubber itself?

    The answer to all the above is no,that's what I don't understand and it's only the one blade,I've had this type 'rot' before but only old blades,but thanks for your help.
  5. I bought a new Sonic six months ago,no problems with the car until now,it's only the large wiper blade the rubber is perished,called in to Chevrolet to get it changed.Out they came,they said 'change now'I said yes so they started to take it off,I said but I'm not paying its a new car it should last longer than six months,no joy pay 800 baht they will change now,I said no,so out came the camera photos taken then they are sent off for permission to change it.Any one else have problems like this.

  6. My wife and I was talking about leaving our bodies to one of the teaching hospitals,my way of thinking is once you are dead,you are dead.Has any one heard of this,if so how do you go about it?

    Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Thailand

    Easily done at Red Cross Unit in grounds of Chulalongkorn Hospital Bangkok. Pleasantly surprised to see how many locals are donating their bodies, as I know that Chinese in particular do not.

    Don't know of any regional places.

    As I now live near Jomtien, I understand that there is no "collection".

    I have no interest in how I am disposed of when I die.[/quote i have done it now with chiang Mai university hospital.
