Re: Servis UK
Are we talking GB Dar, or Servis Direct? They are all rather nefarious.
If you ask Del, he will say all the same animal.

Re: Whitegoods Trade Association
Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy eat your heart out.
Without disecting all of the above, can I assume Martin you would have preferred to stay as a UKW subscriber, but not a member of the Trade association?
Is there room or scope to maintain a subscriber section, but divorced from the WTA?

Re: mfi
I’m just checking this out among other MFI agents.
For a few months now I have been receiving B.A.C.S. payments into the bank account, but without the audit trail advising what invoices are being settled.
Before I get told “You’re the only one getting this problem”, I’m wondering if this is universal?

Re: MFI
AIG Tried to push me into the web-based system, and after reading the earler post I poined out a few salient points such as double keying and despite never having looked that the site, could blow it out the water as impractical & unworkable.
I shall be writing to Mark Ridler later, and will keep you posted.

Re: MFI
Heres a good one.
MFI pass us a call for an AIG repair, and we go ahead etc. When we hear no more & chase the payment we find the extended warranty is in the name of the builders, and not the property owner. Therrefore they have rejected.
Another one is a Smeg product, we submit using Smeg part number & price as we are agents, they reject as price/part discrepency, and as with the earlier one, don’t tell us.
We have a week and a half service delay, and perhaps now is the time to bin them.

Blitzed yellow pages, and convinced the browsing public they are the bees knees. One thing I’ve learned over the years, there is no better advertising than recommendation, and after spending in the past £6k p.a. on Y/Pages, I’ve since learned don’t need to. Y/Pages have proved to me that the type of traffic they court are these type of traders, and I’m glad I’ve saved the fees.
Saying that though, the poor old punter is the one that knows no different and gets sucked in by the sales pitch from such “repairers”. This outfit have first of all to recoup the expense of telling Joe Public how wonderul they are, and who pays for that, Joe Public of course.
I’ve been here a long time, and I’m still here, let’s see if these can do the same!

Re: MFI
AIG. I have calls from April where they have not paid. Normally I phone debtors direct, but as the calls come from M.F.I. they can take some of the liability.
Today I found a mobile number for Mark Ridler & told him I was putting AIG on stop regards all their calls. He tells me he has had no problems regards AIG, and I chose not to educate him further. He is getting Pul Brooks to phone me.

Sums up the States, they think their country is the world. Take Baseball, “World Series”. They are the only ones that play the silly game.
Anyway, welcome back you old tart, I’ve been browsing the obituaries.

Re: zanussi wd1012 filling problem
Ah! Just read your post properly. Water pressure o.k. then.
This cranked hose, the noise limiter is in the end of the stub on the cabinet side of the dispenser where the hose attaches.
If you whip the hose off the dispenser, you will see what appears to be a small white ring or washer. This is the end of the nozzle, and will prise out with a screwdriver. Then you can look through this nozzle and clear if reqd. Failing that, take off the disp lid & soak it.

Re: zanussi wd1012 filling problem
Solenoid to tank, forget that one. Supplies the dry condenser.
Turn off water supply to M/C. Take the cold inlet hose off the valve on the rear outside, look at the filter in the end of the valve, may be silted up.
Hold the end of the main inlet hose over a bucket & turn the water back on, should blast out nicely. If not investigate your cold supply.
If good, and filter clean, where the cranked tube (goes round or behind the spring) from the inlet valve enters the dispenser, there is an anti-noise nozzle, and that tends to scale up.
Valves still available as fairly generic.

Re: zanussi wd1012 filling problem
Hot water alone is only called for on the 90 deg programme, and again in conjunction with the cold on the 60 deg. In both cases the hot comes straight into the centre compartment, and is not deflected by the piston at the rear of the dispenser. I seem to recall you have no problem with the centre compartment.
I doubt under such circumstances the hot water pressure will have any bearing.
Alex
Re: zanussi wd1012 filling problem
There is a piston that runs along the back of the dispenser, operated by a cam on the timer. If you take the top off >> MAINS OFF <<
Check 1st of all that as you manually turn the knob that the piston actually pushes in & out. Don’t bother with any adjustments as they are pre-set.
Strong chance the dispenser lid is scaled up. Part no longer available, but an overnight soak in vinegar may sort it.
Best of luck

Re: They’re checking!
The Police Magazine is a con.
I had the same phone call, and he told me he was endorsed by DASA, well they never heard of this lot. He got through the firewall of my receptionists by telling the lass he was phoning from the Avon & Somerset Police, and needed to talk to me on a serious matter.
They run from offices in London Rd Stockport, and if you are taken in, a full page is £900.
I have a neighbour and golfing associate who is a senior member of local plod, and he tells me not to waste my money.
We have had the odd service call where trading standards are after someone else, and they will have us in as part of the exercise mainly to test us out, and to prove the fault is findable as applied to the machine, and then we hear no more.
Alex.
