  1. Yeah bad luck on that one, you have to be so careful here, unrelated to aircon but I know some of the motorcycle shop's that sell genuine brand bike's replace many of the part's, tyre's, batterie, brake part's ect, with cheep copy part's and sell on the genuine part's later, you think your buying a genuine bike but your not !

  2. Plenty advice for you here Adam, little bit confused about Kudroz tho, dosen't need to worry about money at 24 ? but family is not rich ? let us into your secret Kudroz.

  3. Yeah the problem's those bledy leaf spring's or ( cart ) spring's as there called, Range rover changed all that nonsence year's ago in 1969, it's just price that keep's the spine julting leaf in production, tire pressure will help but you can't make a silk purse out of a pig's ear !

  4. Not an easy one Adam, many people your age have the desire to moove here but just like anything els in life you must have the money to make it worth while, Living out here on a shoestring is not much fun, nothing like when you come out here with money for a good holiday, living out here without money can be worse than living in your country as you will see all the thing's you like, but won't have the money to indulge ! at your age I would come here for holiday's and enjoy spending, if your realy serious about your girl then try getting her back to your country, good luck mate.

  5. Free as long as you buy their glasses ! but be careful because there's two problem's with getting a good eye test in these small shop's, 1 the machine's are not alway's very acurate, 2 finding somebody who realy understand's how to operate the machine, that's why I wanted Bangkok pattaya to do the test because I have compleat faith in the machine and the very good eye doctor there, but 5,000 bht when Thai's pay 500 is just taking the piss too far.

  6. It's the same people that moan about the weather and the postal service back in europe and the state's, nobody's realy botherd about it but it's a bit like tv new's, why is it only the bad thing's ?

  7. yeah they do cost more but not the vast diference that their charging, Just another word on the eye test at Bangkok pattaya, in the past I have had eye test's there for 500 bht, but it's the last two time's Ive been there they want 5.000 bht, The interesting thing is this, when I enquired the price the first girl said 500 bht, I thought ah, we're back to the proper price again, but one of the other girl's overheard us talking and came over and said she'd made a mistake and it's 5,000 bht ! I'll let you decide what's going on there, it was a few day's later that my friend went back to enquire as he was sure I had made a mistake, they told him 5,000 bht too.

  8. I know exactly what you mean Tyrone, my friend's and I ask this question every day and have been for a few year's, many of the farang here are so tied up with eating shagging ect ect, they don't realy understand your question. underground economy does seem to be most likely tho ?

  9. ......an example Bangkok pattaya for eye test, 500 bht for my wife and 5000 bht for me

    They obviously had their glasses on and saw you coming :D For my periodic eye checks I only pay 5/600 baht and have done for years. Also Thais ane not too fussy about the frames, and that's where a good deal of the cost is.

    5000 baht for an eye test is excessive to say the least. :o

    Was it Bangkok pattaya where you have been paying 500/600 ? my friend tried it after me telling him they wanted 5000, they told him 5000 too, it would pay me to give you 500 for your trouble and go along with you !

  10. Yeah mabe one of the other dealer's is also trading for Suzuki, but as someone said it all seem's to have gone ass up, there's no Suzuki sign's anywere ? The Suzuki shop my friend used to go to was just across the sukhumvite oposite north pattaya road, a proper Suzuki shop, big Suzuki sign and men in Suzuki overhall's with a great big Suzuki logo on the back, ah, those were the day's !

  11. If like me you have to wear glasses then the chance is you've been rolled bigtime on the price, My Thai wife wear's glasses and a pair for her is 400/700bht for me 5000/7000 bht, if she goes in to buy my glasses I get them for 400 bht but the problem is sometime's I must go in for the eye test, same thing again, an example Bangkok pattaya for eye test, 500 bht for my wife and 5000 bht for me, Ok I know about two tier pricing but the diference on spectacle's is ridiculas, also when a farang goes into the shop they alway's try to sell you plastic lense's, because there lighter, they say there more expencive, there not for the Thais, my wife alway's get's plastic because there cheeper !

  12. Yeah the garage on 36 is a good place to visit, being an x American car freak 40s-late 70s after that the good ol U S of A lost the plot, Then they started crushing their herritage with monster truck display's driving over the roof's of the best thing's they ever made, anyway Im digressing, if you have an e mail address I would be happy to help with direction's ect to car's I know. also Si racha has a good American car bloke.

  13. I will soon be in the market for another second hand vehicle, I am looking at Toyota's pick up range, something about 6/7 year's old, what I have noticed is that with the nice high 4*4 truck's nearly all are gear, ( stick shift ) no automatic's but in the low truck's, ie 2wd there are many automatic's, now automatic is more important to me than 4*4 so what I was thinking is buy a low 2wd automatic version and get it raized up with new spring's bigger wheel's ect to the same hight as the 4*4, the 2 wheel drive's are generaly cheeper so the saved money would pay to have it lifted, what do you think of this idear ?

  14. I would hazard a guess you have an electronic ignition module problem, the short stop allow's just enouth time to cool the component's to allow it to start again but as time goes on the length of time required to waite get's longer and longer, the classic module breakdown !
