Shopping For Car Bits and Pieces

[jacko]

I like to check amd pump my tyres myself, and my foot pump lasted a while, but sadly packed in.

The replacement, couldn't find a foot pump, so got an electric compressor, cheap thing that plugs into the cigarette lighter. Piece of Chinese crap, wires too short and stopped working after 2nd use. Rather than trouble myself returning it to Homeworks, I relieved tension, amused the locals and scared the soi dogs by smashing it up in the street.

So, anybody recommend a place for a good old fashioned foot pump in Pattaya!

Homeworks + Big C Nope...

Home Pro and Carrefour...nope....

I purchased a double piston model from the hardware store at the corner of Soi Lengkee and Third Road for a couple of hundred baht. I assume most hardware store will sell them.

Yes I found one in Tesco, on Sukhumvit. To be honest it's a piece of crap too! I think the brand is 'Wave'. This is the second one I have had, I managed to repair the first once (flexible air line, which is too damned short, ruptured). For the big truck tyres, it makes a better exercise machine than a pump!
