Long motor is 80k.

 

OK not too bad, but still not nice to have to pay for it yourself.

actually just checked my invoices. 80k was for the short motor and all associated gaskets and bolts needed to assemble short motor.

I am Retired and have lived here for 10 years. My son is thinking of taking a position with a 5 star Hotel here and he would like to know what the TAX RATE is here for Foreigners. Could anybody help with this information.

Not familiar with legal terms but it seems to me it did not say income from pensions or disability payments.

yeah Iam not familiar with pensions or disability payments either but I assumed the son of the retired person who asked is able bodied and looking for tax rates for employment in Thailand.

I get a few thing printed, I tried to have them done in Thailand but every company that qouted wanted between Bt.1000 and Bt.1500 to print the part. I gave up and get them done in Australia for Bt.270 per piece.

Iam Australian and pay more tax here than back home in Oz, I do not think the tax rates are acceptable.

TELL HER TO GET OFF HER ARSE AND EARN SOME MONEY!

I don't get this wife allowance thing. It's like your paying someone to 'love' you.

what a superb idea. send the missus out to work 6 days a week for 10k per month then employ a complete stranger for 10k a month to keep my house clean and walk the dogs.

whats the attachment to your Yahoo email for ?

As to the Falang .... MEH.

If the role was reversed the Thai would have pulled a gun.

I give the missus 45b per day, that is more than enough for a bag of food and a water from the noodle cart for her lunch.

What size do you need ?

Watchara had a display at the Burapha Bike show. Price confirmed at Bt465,000 and they have their first container of 20 bikes arriving in May. 15 black and 5 green.

I sat on their display model and found it to be very comfortable.

Have you ruled out the Gasohol yet ?

Seen the one on Ebay and a friend had one to be honest its hand made from foam/wood and a light rain can kill it very quickly and they sell very expensive and look shi%te

the early version were made from MDF (Medium-density fibreboard), the current ones are made from poly wood which is a recycled plastic.

I actually think Mdf is better than the polywood as they are so Brittle (both versions but the polywood will break from a flying stone in half))

The best version by far is the Abs version and its cheaper

The polywood version is made at a house , sprayed and dried in a garden .The workmanship is probably a 3 out of ten if your generous,,looks like somchai with a jigsaw has tried after looking at a picture of the proper grill!

I think the ABS one looks like <deleted>.

Ready to go.

150k owns it.

Pattaya Powder Coating does vibrant colours like those. maybe ask them where they get their powders from.

Never saw vibrant colors there. They have very few colors maybe eight varieties. They cant even do repsol orange.

I saw about 20 different colours there a few days ago, they also said if I want a colour they do not have let them know and they will get it in.

I did like their metallic satin black.

Mitsubishi finished up cause their product was crap. the 380 was actually a decent thing but by then they had lost all consumer confidence.

At the end of the day the consumer is to blame for the demise of the auto industry in OZ as they simply were not buying the vehicles built there and instead opting for imported models.

It was a new compressor.

Installed and picked the truck up this morning.

All under warranty.

I think I might extend the warranty after this.......

Good and correct result it just show's Ford are doing the right thing. Now where are all the Ford knocker's.

Shame they do not do the right thing all the time.

Isnt watchai or whatever their name is a suzuki dealer? theppasit and sukhumvit

I thought they were Yamaha dealers.

Looking at diesels in 4x4's generally. If the dipstick is firmly in place and the oil filler cap is on tight and no hoses are leaking the only way for water to enter the engine is through the air cleaner. 300mm of water isn't a big deal. Last rainy season in the dip opposite Caltex on Sukhumvit Rd about 350m from Thepprasit Rd, going Sth, my old Strada was wading through 500mm at a leisurely 6 or 7kph and along comes some dick in a big 6x6 navy truck doing about 20kph and there is water going everywhere...including over my bonnet. Luckily none entered the engine.

In the Spoonman mobile nightmare case he himself said the air cleaner had not taken any water in. So, how did the water get in?

with our (my work) investigations we found a small exhaust leak on the turbo. now apparently even though the turbo obviously pressurizes the intake charge under certain low throttle conditions a vacuum is also present. we also found moisture in the EGR valve.

Nothing is conclusive due to the nature of how the engine and ancillaries were dismantled and stored.

My engine failure was of high importance to my work as we have had several other Rangers out in the field die a very similar fate. in those instances due to the warranty*** we put on our vehicles a replacement engine was fitted without question.

*** Our warranty not the Ford one. we warranty all modified vehicles we sell ourselves.

Sukumvit and soi siam cc next to numchai. I don't know if they're open yet

Looks like the Nokia Care building.

Beating your car to pieces i front of the ford dealer and many TV crews should get someones attention. I know that sounds extreme but having a car that can't be driven for over a year...I think I'd be resorting to drastic measures such as this.

Well I think Spoonman is in the Auto business in Thailand so perhaps not really an option for him?

Speaking for myself, I sort of agree with you but would more like try as below.

If it happened to my truck, I would park it out on Sukhumvit (in front of Ford Pattaya ) and have a big sign made up, saying: Don't buy a Ford as the service sucks (Thai and English), stop paying the monthly payments and get a laywer, write to all the Ford CEO's I can find on the e-net and generally make life as miserable for them as posilbe.

One poster here on Thaivisa had water going over the bonnet on his Ranger and nothing happened and my wife have been driving on flooded roads in ours too, so I don't think it's a wide spread problem but it seems like Ford's service sucks big time and one can only hope it's never needed.

I actually said to my Boss if the vehicle was stillrunning I would set it on fire and drop a brick onto the throttle and aim it at the Ford Pattaya showroom....

He suggest whilst the idea has merit it would also result in my employment being terminated under the "you got arrested and thrown in Jail" clause.

What is the legal warranty though ?

It is basically stated in the owners manual to the effect of their policy in regards to water ingress.

What I mean with legal warranty is warranty provided by Law, as opposed to warranty provided by Ford.

Legal warranty would be provided by laws such as the consumer protection act for example.

If that applies to cars, you still have to prove the water ingress was due to a fault and not to a self-caused damage or usage in unappropriate conditions.

If the air intakes were dry, I would say that's a good starting point.

But you will need a lawyer.

Does legal warranty differ to Ford warranty ?
