Re: DART??

I buy appliances from a company called dart but it seems different from the above.

The contact details I have are

DART
Units 9 & 10
Ladfordfields Industrial Estate
Seighford
Nr Stafford
Staffordshire
ST18 9QE
Phone 01785281920

They just describe themselves as “nationwide suppliers of Domestic Appliances”

They do new and graded and sometimes have decent deals on. The only problem I have with them is when they`re on the phone quoting you prices they never distiguish between new and graded so you have to ask every time.

Hope this helps.

Re: Anglo Iberian

I got a call a while back from AIS asking if I could help them out with a noisy cooker hood. Traced it to the low voltage light transformer, got the wrong one twice from AIS while I fixed an oven door for them as well in the same house. Never received the correct part for the hood but got invoiced for the two wrong parts and then threatening letters. Basically told them to get stuffed and take me to court if they want. Never got paid for the oven repair and never heard anything else for about 6 months then they phoned to ask if I could look at a fridge for them. :rotfl: Needless to say I said NO! and guess what?………………….

5 minutes later a fax from ISDAL with the fridge job on it………… but still just a poultry £28 a call.

I must say I`m not at all impressed with AIS and I can`t say ISDAL fill me with confidence either as the only complaining customers I`ve had in the last year are ones waiting on spares for under guarantee work that ISDAL seem to take an age to supply. I sometimes wonder if it`s all worth the hassle. Does other people have the same problem getting spares for ISDAL work or is it just me?

There rates are not the best and it may be doing more harm to my reputation than it`s worth. As people say “It can take 10 years to build a good reputation but you can kill it in a week”

Re: The connections game! (Which tier are you on?)

Sorry penguin 😳

But on a serious note I think your in the same situation with connect that I am with Homespares. The rep keeps telling me to buy stuff and they`ll increase my discount and I keep telling him to increase my discount and I`ll start buying stuff. Catch 22 or what???

I think you should ask to see the rep explain how much you buy in spares a month and then show him what a small percentage his company are getting of that. Connect obviously have a huge margin to work with and although I`m sure they won`t put you on the best prices straight away I`d bet they would put you on better ones than your currently getting.

If you`ve already tried this then I`ll just shut up and won`t ask you for any prices ever agian.

Re: HOTPOINT WM52

I believe these armatures are now obsolete and the motor has to be replaced with an FHP type and fixing kit.

Re: I got my connect acc WOO HOO 🙂

Well can I just say that I think Connect are a great company and the Rep I have is the best ever in the whole universe and I think you should all stop picking on them.

Do you think this will increase my discount any?

Re: I got my connect acc WOO HOO 🙂

I`m a service partner and I`m getting the same prices as Dave for these parts.

Someone`s telling porkies………

Re: another joke.

After every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a “gripe sheet,” which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the
next flight.

Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humour.

Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by Qantas’ pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers.

P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.

P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.

P: Something loose in cockpit.
S: Something tightened in cockpit.

P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on backorder.

P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per
minute descent.
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.

P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.

P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.

P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That’s what they’re for.

P: IFF inoperative.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.

P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you’re right.

P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.

P: Aircraft handles funny.
S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious.

P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.

P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.

And the best one for last………………
P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a
midget pounding on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget

Re: another joke.

Two women were playing golf. One teed off and watched in horror as her ball headed directly toward a foursome of men playing the next hole. The ball hit one of the men, and he immediately clasped his hands together at his groin, fell to the ground and proceeded to roll around in agony. The woman rushed down to the man and immediately began to apologize.
“Please allow me to help. I’m a physical therapist and I know I could relieve your pain if you’d allow me,” she told him.
“Oh, no, I’ll be all right. I’ll be fine in a few minutes,” the man replied, still in pain, in the fetal position, still clasping his hands together in his groin.
But she persisted, and he finally allowed her to help. She gently took his hands away and laid them to the side, she loosened his pants, and put her hands inside. She began to massage him. She then asked, “How does that feel?”
He replied, “It feels great, but my thumb still hurts like hell.”
