sezze Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Today the first inspection was carried out at 4.000 km / almost 6 months. I expected that an oil change will be done and was surprised when I was told, MAZDA would just check the oil, "because" the first oil change should be provided at 20.000 km, and then all further 20.000 km. My service book calls the first oil change at 10.000 km or at least 6 months - am I wrong ...? What was done at the service: The engine was cleaned with compressed air and at my request, the tire pressure checked, thats all ... Same here . Garage did say oil not change at 10k . We went to local garage to change oil at 10k . At 20k it is going to the dealer for the official oil change . Allready got a few bumps , 1 is the steps going inside , from hauling rice in from the field and it bumped the underside of the step pushing it up . Nothing serious . The other this is the GF's fault when driving somewhere reverse is , not looking at the front and the bumper/wheelarch connection is bumped and scratched . Those things happen . I'm not happy with it but it will be fixed later on . Got 20 inch rims , Bonetti 71 , black metal . Looks really nice . wheel size 265/50r20 . Price including takeover of old wheels ( 13k on the clock ) 32000 baht ( new bolts included and everything done and ok ) . So far allready 1000 km of these and they are fine .

My bad, I read it as though you sanded the tail lights and painted yourself. I can sand but need to know what the 99b paint was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
culicine Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Also no oil change on mine... I think they jnow what they doing... Here updated pics from my car.. How is the roller shutter? is it quiet on the road and rain proof? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superkatsu Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 The roller shutter, seems very solid, waterproof too... But I not tested it yet... They installed drains in the rails too, propper job, around 3 hours... No noise if you drive... I will check if I have some tint spray left, then I make a picture from the can...

funcat Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 ...so,do you just spray the outside the lens?...sorry for asking,but I've thought that they normally separate the lens from the light assembly and spray the 'chrome' parts inside ...

muchogra Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I am seeing more Mazda BT-50 Pro than Ford Ranger in Chiang Mai. Is Ford still not delivering the Ranger lately? I'm getting a little pissed for not gettng my BT-50 yet even though I have told the sales lady a couple of times that I wanted it before the 5th. When the 5th was approaching, she told me it's no later than the 10th. I called her on the 7th. She did not answer her phone, neither has she returned my call. I'll wait out this week to see if she returns my call. If she doesn't, I'll cancel my order and order a 2013 Fortuner instead. I think it's 300k more, perhaps, 300k plus 85k since there'll be no tax rebate? Would they give me back the 5k deposit?...No, there's nothing written on the order when it would be delivered, I think!

Mazda policy for refunds of deposits is after 60 days of order being placed 100% of the deposit returned to the customer when the automobile has not arrive and the customer requests to cancel the order. It can take two days for the paperwork to finish canceling the order before you get your refund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What disgusted me was she did not return my call. Anyway, she called me today and said my car was on its way to CM and should be here by tomorrow. Well, I guess they'll need at least a couple of days to put all the freebies on. Guess I'll get my cashier check ready on Friday and perhaps drive it out the door on Saturday or Monday. Thanks again.

gosompoi Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I looked at the Ford Ranger the front mud flaps/splash guards are longer than the Mazda BT-50 Pro front mud guards. Maybe someday I will find aftermarket guards to fix the road spray from the stock flaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Guns Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 When using the voice control for USB on the BT 50 is it possible to select a track name? On my wife's new Ford Focus when using voice control you just say 'play track' followed by the track name e.g 'wonderwall. I had a test drive of the BT 50 today and it only seemed to let me select track numbers using the voice control. I've got to say I loved the car. I'd tested the Isuzu V-Cross before and I thought it was good. I drove the BT 50 Hi Racer with the 2.2 and it seemed really stable at speed and quite quick. I'm ordering the 3.2R so I would expect that to be pretty special as I was really impressed with the 2.2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now there are some nice cosmis rims but still not my one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
