Allsorts on behalf of 0800 Repair. I am sorry you met and engineer that didn’t show respect to a member of the public. As a franchises of the company it is not within the interests of the company to recieve complaints of this nature. I can tell you that the matter is being investigated. And action will be taken.I hope this brings a conclusion to the issue.
You have my determination regarding what should and shouldn’t happen to the offending o8oo guy..
- Should – That is up to me to decide and I have decided at this point to leave the publicity as is, but take matters no further with the authorities, and to issue the warning of what would happen if I ever see or hear of anything similar happening again.
Shouldn’t – Well that is upto o8oo and the responsibility is none of mine.
However, may I also say that I am appauled at the attempt to shift the onus of reprisals from o8oo onto me… If I wanted the guy to be sacked I would have gone down the legal route.
Re: customer wants part numbers
If you informed her of what the problem was at the time, but then after you not contacting her with a quote for full repair, but she did not contact you to get a quote for repair and give the go ahead, I would refuse the refund.. You have provided your original service of callout and diagnosis.

It is also my opinion that the engineer in the picture was provoked into an argument by a disgruntled 2nd hand shop owner. Although I cannot condone his the engineers actions. I hope said shop owner is happy knowing that the guy will lose his job just before christmas. If times ain’t hard enough!!! Stinks of a set up!!!!!
CliveHave what opinion you wish .. I have stated exactly what happened, there was no goading. When I left the o8oo guy, he was still on the phone inside his van and he had just told me to pi$$ off.
The only reason the guy is near his van is that he went back to it after seeing that I had got my camera.I may be a shop owner, but I am also an appliance engineer that works outside of the shop and need to get to and from my jobs when there are no little yellow vans with falic objects on the top of them sittin in the middle of the road so I can’t get passed.
As for the guy loosing his job, I would not want that for anyone.. even him… however, I think that the UK law prevents that from happening anyway, unless he has already had 2 previous warnings in writing (although I may be wrong)..
Nevertheless, o8oo are shown to be no better than any one of us and can make mistakes.. just let it be a lesson that you or anyone else in o8oo can only play god at other peoples time and expense at such a cost as this. If it EVER happens again, it wont be a complaint anywhere other than the police, and then moreso a publication of the matter in a lot more public place than Facebook.Re: 0800 Repair

He knocked on his door give it the charley big spuds and lost his bottle run back to get a photo and got that response.
Lost my bottle for what? My actions of taking a photo was because the plonker would not get off the phone and remove his vehicle from the junction after he had just told me that he was on the phone talking to someone to get directions. In this respect, since I had to talk to him face to face to get that information, where do you consider I lost my bottle?

K.
Yes… I asked for it to be posted as I was lucky to be the one behind the camera and not a member of the public.

This one is funny http://www.secondhandheaven.co.uk/index1.html. We at Allsorts beleive that by buying good quality secondhand goods rather than new, you are doing your part towards saving the planet for all our children. .
So an old clapped out machine from yesteryear that makes your electric meter clocks go crazy and takes water that could fill my local swimming pool. RIP OFF!!!!!. Great turnover there you have not even vat registered.
Now shall I call the vat man and ask him to inspect you? Hmmmmm sorry im that shallow.Oi you pi$$ taking little sh!t. So you think it is funny? First one of your @rsehole guys discusts me and you complain because I asked for kwatt to show the image on the site for the guys to see just what sort of decorum 08oo don’t-repair show to the public… don’t forget, your guy didn’t know who the hell I was.
After that insult you decide to take the pi$$ out of my beleifs… Are you so nieve to beleive that shipping machines from China costs less to the earth than running an old machine?.. You will notice if you look, it says “good quality secondhand goods”… This is relating to furniture and appliances.. Nearly all of the appliances are under 8 years old… At least my 8 year old and under appliances carry on working after I have repaired them… These appliances are the same age as the appliances that you go around repairing, so if I am a ripp off then you better look at yourselves.
Not withstanding the above, the context within which I am speaking is thatI refer to preventing new being built over used being repaired. For all intents and purposes, is that not what you purport to do, repair rather than sell new, you d!ckhead. And for your information, building a new appliance costs the earth far more than using a repaired used one.
Then you take the pi$$ out of my earnings.. well there you go, I take it you are VAT registered and that makes you earning more than I.. If this is the case then this proves I am no ripp off.
Tell you what.. I WANT YOU TO CALL THE VAT MAN … PLEASE DO IT. I have not a thing to hide. Oh, and by the way, my initial callout is a deductable £15 … not £60.. and today a complete repair was rendered for an OAP for £15 fully inclusive.cliveaitken wrote:
As I said earlier the picture of the engineers is bang out of order. But really could it not have been sent to 0800 Repair? Facebook? Twitter? Really ? that’s out of order and just bitter and twisted.Yes, not that I need you to show any approval for posting the picture, but o8oo are franchises and therefore it whould be totally a waste of time sending the picture to o8oo as they would just cover it up.
The holyer than thou attitude of the jerk parking at the junction whilst on the phone and refusing to move out of the way on a main junction… mmmm… sounds like the godly attitude of a right tw@t.. wasn’t you was it, seems the same sort of attitude to me.cliveaitken wrote:

Oh.. and just for pudding take this… There are no “electric meter clocks” anymore
( pee smelling old farts is it? how do you know about the electric meter clocks then?) and washing machines never used water that could fill a swimming pool .. unless this is a special o8oo machine that we are hearing of.Re: 0800 Repair

Re: 0800 Repair
This guy was parked in the middle of the lane at the busy junction of Bridge St and Chester Road West in Shotton; people were having to go into the other lane to go around him to join the main road.. I was trying to use the same junction and was in a 3.5t LWB box van. He was just sat there on his phone so I knocked on his window,to which I got the ‘just 1 minute’ gesture, so I opened his door and told him he was blocking the road.. his answer was “so what, I have got my hazzards on, I am phoning someone to find an address… So I slammed his door shut and went to get my camera.
As I got my camera he got out of his van and came toward me in a threatening manner yelling that he was going to call the police if I touch his property again, so I addressed him to go get the police, he then backed off to his van .. that’s when he threw me the bird.Re: Proline Not heating.- new element.

Re: Indesit washing machine WIB101 belt question?
As iadom said above, if you have the nylon pulley it may need replacing as the center will normally be worn due to the wobbling movement the pulley makes whilst loose…
The replacement is part number C00064527, normally a metal pulley to correct the problem.
If you can not get the bolt off with the normal tools then you will need to use a small chisel or similar tool to tap the edge of the bolt to eleviate its grip on the pulley; however, if you do this then you may need to replace the bolt too.
