Swindle

Swindle for us is the right word. 

Our truck already is for one and a half week in the 'hospital'. We are updated nearly every day and it worked out the American Expat who sold the truck to us did many quick and 'dirty' repairs to make the car attractive to sell.

As we shared on this blog already the truck did not start anymore. It seemed the cooling system was totally damaged and the radiator full of mud. Two of the cylinders of the diesel engine were broken. The engine was brought to a specialized factory to check and fix again. An x-ray of the engine showed some repair was made with cement. The top cover broken and not to repair anymore. Many cheap spare parts to keep it running for a short while were used for repair and from the outside you could not see that. A list of things that are wrong and need to be changed. 

In the mean time we have to order construction material delivery and the bill for repair is getting higher and higher...

Indeed a set-back and it gives us a very bad feeling of a guy and his Thai wife we really trusted...
