Re: iphone 3G 8GB For Sale

What is 'Jailbroken', may I ask? Is this something one should be concerned about?

Nature Valley Estates - availability and location

I looked at a development a few years ago called Nature Valley Estates and found it by accident. I'm not sure if the developer is still building or if indeed there are any units available. I liked the location, as I recall anyway. The web site seems to show a blank page. Can anyone help or suggest a...

Re: Looking for a mobile shop that will buy mobile phones

All the little stalls on the top floor of market village will. I tried various shops there at Market Village but none of them were interested in buying Sony Ericsson phones. It was strange really because the phones are fine on specifications and in almost new condition. Sony Ericsson do not seem to...

Re: Is fully comp insurance usually provided with new vehicl

Thanks to all for the information. Unfortunately no Ford owners have commented but at least the other manufacturers seem to have set a precedent in terms of insurance. Whether that's representative of Ford, I'm not sure. I talked briefly with a salesman in Ford's showroom in Hua Hin recently and alt...

Is fully comp insurance usually provided with new vehicles?

As per my recent posts, I'm interested in the Ford Everest, but I'd like to know if it is usual practice for dealers (Ford and others) to provide the first year's cover free? Thanks

Re: New Koncept store before the tunnel

It's good to hear that you were satisfied with it Foodie, but in my own experience the Thai furniture outlets (this one included) appear to sell quite inferior products at very high prices. A lot of the furniture is made from chipboard and the fittings are poor quality. Our apartment has a range of ...

Re: Interested in Ford Everest & standard of service at Hua

HHC..go on..jump in with both feet (or rip open ya wallet with both hands).. & buy the Everest..555! I think the way that the floods are looking, US, we'll be lucky to be able to buy anything for the foreseeable future. My attentions have had to turn towards obtaining food essentials today! The...

Looking for a mobile shop that will buy mobile phones

I'm presuming that some shops will happily buy used mobiles, because I believe some of them sell second-hand phones. To save me from going from shop-to-shop looking for a better price, can anyone suggest a good shop to go to that will treat me fairly? My phones are not very old, about a year-old and...

Re: Interested in Ford Everest & standard of service at Hua

I have only had the Pajero for 2 months and no trips to BKK as yet, but not been stopped so far, so will have to see whether or not this is an issue? Well, I wish you luck. The other consideration of course is the dark tinted window film. If you have that, the police can't tell your a foreigner unt...

Re: Interested in Ford Everest & standard of service at Hua

HHC I sold the car about seven years ago after owning it for seven. Thanks for the reply again. I suppose to some extent one might expect Ford's parts delivery to have improved in the time that you mention. I notice that the Fiesta is selling reasonably well and that might further reinforce Ford's ...

Re: Interested in Ford Everest & standard of service at Hua

Before I relocated to HH just over 2 months ago, my two previous cars which I had for 2 years each, were a Honda Accord and a Toyota Camry, both 2.4 petrol with Auto and for me the Accord was by far the better of the two. Having said that, I have bought a Pajero Sport here in HH and am very happy w...

Re: Interested in Ford Everest & standard of service at Hua

I was less than enthused with the availability of spares. This is something the [Ford] dealerships have absolutely no control over (read some gnashing of teeth here) and was the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back to make me sell the car. Also consider a fairly high depreciation in second-...

Re: Interested in Ford Everest & standard of service at Hua

'till the gearbox packed-up! Seemingly it is a known fault with them Thanks usualsuspect. It seems that the auto gearbox is made by Borg Warner, so if there is a problem, presumably the problem exists with other marques also? Unless perhaps it suffers undue wear-and-tear in the Ford Everest? I have...

Interested in Ford Everest & standard of service at Hua Hin

I'm interested to know if any other members have the Ford Everest, how you find the vehicle in terms of reliability and economy and also if the level of customer attention at Ford in Hua Hin is ok. For a multitude of reasons, I don't like the competitors very much and having owned a Toyota Camry for...

Thanks very much indeed Steve. The sq.m. is useful to know.
