    Re: speed awareness course

    Got one to go to in a couple of weeks time. (Already have 6 points 🙁 ) so it ‘s a bit of a bonus to be offered one of these.

    Strange about the charges though… I only have to pay £66.

    Just checked, mines exactly the same as that 5300 kit.

    I’ll go through some of my other stuff and put it in the Trade section at some stage.

    Re: Brazing

    I still have a microflame kit I no longer use. That’s the one with the Oxygen bottle and a replaceable butane canister of roughly equal size. I still have the scorpion bit as well. Haven’t used any of it for a few years now, so not sure what condition it’s in.

    I’ll post a pic later if anyone is interested?

    But Martin, I thought you only went to the ‘quality’ customers who can afford your fees? Surely you’re not saying that Lord and lady Muck have dirty floors!! 😯

    Customer seems to think they will be in stock by the 16th of Feb, if this is correct can I pre-order one?

    Re: dogs

    Have always had a simple philosophy myself;

    Remove the dog or I remove myself.

    I win in 99{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of the cases. The odd times I lose is when you get people saying things like.. ‘ I think he’ll be alright, he’s not bitten anyone yet’.

    That’s the point I walk back to my van and drive to the next job.

    Re: FLOOR DISCLAIMER

    After years of experience, I find that if it looks likely that moving a machine will cause damage, I ask the customer to move it. If they cannot (too old or infirm) then I ask that they arrange to have it moved.
    I’ve never had one refuse so far, and if they did I’d just walk away. Life’s too short to get bogged down in other peoples problems.

    Re: AW23 fault

    Like most of them she said she had checked. Ahh well she was very sorry and grateful for the service so it was worth it in the end.

    I used it as an opportubity to have a good poke around the machine as well while I was there… why can’t ALL machines be so easily accessible??

    Re: AW23 fault

    This machine drains into a standard waste pipe, so there shouldn’t really be any problems there.

    I understand what Ken is saying though, and I’m of the same frame of mind. I just wanted someone with experience of the appliance to tell me if there were (or were not) any known issues with the PCB’s.

    Looks like I’ll have to take a trip out there, knowing my luck I’ll get there to find a load of fridge magnets stuck to the front of the machine (had that on a Zanussi F/fzr once 🙂 ) or something similarly stupid.

    Now that I’m sure of how robust the PCB’s are. I’ll spend some travelling and work time sorting this out. It’s just my lack of experience regarding these specific machines that’s making me ask the questions before I dive in.

    Thanks all…I’ll report back asap.

    Re: AW23 fault

    Back again 🙁

    She phoned today and said that for the last week she’s been getting an E03 or an E06 error on every single wash. She then puts it back on a rinse/spin and it finishes ok, so whilst it’s a pita, she can still use it.

    She’s also asking about refunds/replacements already (Oh Gawd).. so this could be troublesome.

    I need to nail this quickly as it’s a relatively new machine. From the sounds of it, it may be a PCB fault (unless anyone knows any different).
    She lives miles away from me so I can’t just nip out and have a quick look at it.

    Any ideas guys?

    To be fair, I did a bearing and heater change on an otherwise perfect WM72 last week, so I know where you’re coming from.
