The standard number plate holder is grey - there is no grey on the car unless you have a grey car and it definitely doesn’t match my white one. The screws holding it together are already rusty and the BYD REVER logo is already fading badly. There are 4 captive nuts built into the car which is great but only 2 bolts are used on each plate supplemented with some double sided tape at the bottom! Will be ordering 4 more bolts from BYD. I replaced the holders with white ones to match the car and they have a perspex sheet to protect the number pate from damage. Nice number and plate !! I changed mine to black to suit the license plate support also with perspex. If i remember rightly the plate holder came with 4 screws, so was sorted. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the good old days when I was single and unenlightened, zipping around in noisy, dirty, inefficient and underperforming ICEVs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Dwyer Posted Friday at 05:00 AM Share Posted Friday at 05:00 AM Now this is something that has always bugged me but with the Seal’s higher tyre pressures spurred me into action. Around where i live has always been a bit scarce for pumping the tyres up to the correct pressure and on occasion have used Be-Quik or gas stations further afield. On this occasion i endeavoured to top up the tyres locally and it was the final straw: 1st gas station couldn’t achieve over 35 psi. 2nd gas station was “ out of order “ 3rd gas station had connected hose to valve adapter with a huge butterfly type clip making it unusable. 4th gas station worked but was 3 psi out of calibration ( despite my allowance for hot tyres ). Decided to try the BYD air pump ( supplied with the car ) minus the foam: This worked but the gauge only reads to 40 psi and the needle vibrates so much it is laughable. My hand pump ( originally used for the bicycles ) would also work but the gauge shows a much higher value. The Seal tyre pressure monitor does not reset immediately so wasn’t helpful. My hand held pressure gauge was far from accurate , although it has a dial the adapter is the same as those “ pen size “ pressure checkers and only achieved a loss of air every time I attempted a reading. What I need is a digital air pump i told myself and opened the good ol’ Lazada app. Now the cheapest air pumps ( one shaped like a hand held temp gun and the other like a power bank ) only achieve 2.5bar ( 36 psi ) despite saying “ support 150 psi “ !! …… buyers beware ! But there was a couple of more expensive ones, a Xiaomi and a 70Mai ( i thought 70Mai were part of Xiaomi ? ), anyway, after owning a 70Mai dash cam i knew they were good quality stuff and plumped for one at 630 baht ! What a thing of beauty and so easy to use, set the pressure you want and turn it on , very quick also, with a proper screw on adapter not those cam lever types. IMG_4119.mov So, the wife uses the scooter mainly to take the boy to college and the girl to the market. As it had been a while since I had checked the pressures (should be front 29 and rear 33 psi) i decided to use my new toy ……… 65 psi front and 70 psi rear !! …… no comment 😶 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Andrew Dwyer Posted Friday at 08:06 AM Popular Post Share Posted Friday at 08:06 AM Waiting for her ladyship at the local Rong Kluea have been experimenting with the 3 finger update and have come to the conclusion that it is not very user friendly. If you just touch on with 3 fingers, in any orientation, you will get either of the two options ( temp/fan speed ). You have to stroke the screen slowly ( up/down for temp, left/right for fan speed ) determine which one you get, okay if you want instant max fan speed just swipe right with 3 fingers but minor adjustments are finicky. It can be done anywhere on the screen, I don’t have a problem with reach, but is an unnecessary addition and would have preferred to see our other preferences attended to. On the other hand, Wireless CarPlay is great, I leave 2 cables attached under the armrest anyway ( will probably delete one now ) but even so is good. I prefer my whole music library on my phone to Spotify or YouTube Music. Vehicle location is good if you don’t trust your significant other, not so good if she doesn’t trust you !! I am the only driver in the household so no worries on that score, but will be handy as I approach “ now, where did i leave the car ? “ syndrome. It shows your location together with the car. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JBChiangRai Posted Sunday at 12:58 AM Popular Post Share Posted Sunday at 12:58 AM I did the update, Wireless Apple Car Play worked first time. There is a bug with it though, I got a phone call, it flashed up on the infotainment screen. When I finished the call, the buttons on the steering wheel for next track, previous track etc were frozen. I couldn't get out of car play, I kept getting error messages "can't do that in a call" I had to stop the car and turn it off and on again to clear it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UWEB Posted Sunday at 02:49 AM Share Posted Sunday at 02:49 AM Seems to be the latest OTA update is good for nothing, will contact BYD how to downgrade again to the old Version. The Touchscreen is not responding like it was before, Voice Assistant is not responding or does not understand and the volume of Alarms is far too low. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed voice assist as rather strange compared to before, too - maybe it needs to be trained again? I remember in the early days of 'voice command' on MB and VAG vehicles, it had to be trained to get any semblance of usable operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
