Re: Hotpoint RLA30P
Bl**dy hell.
I checked with the customer on Saturday about the compressor make. I thought she was French when she said com si com sa (or summat :?) so I presume she said tecumse. Thats a new one on me.

Re: Belling IDW603 dishwasher door Cable
Hi Dave,
Tried the 31×8637 number, not the correct part, a phone call to Glen Dimplex produced another part No.082613079.
Of which noone we deal with has any stock, any ideas?Thanks
Tony C.Re: vans
Got a Peugot Boxer with Bank of Scotland finance last year.
They matched 😕 a quote I had on a Relay that I’d had from somwhere else, and as as the wife is a boxer dog fan 😯 (dont ask 😳 ) I went with it.Van itself is ok but when it arrived it is the most basic spec of any van I’ve driven. It’s not even got speakers in it never mind a radio. Your’e knackered asking directions from the van, no electric windows.You even get out to adjust the mirrors and I’ve not had to do that for years.
More fool me. 🙄Next time (three years) I’ll buy!!!!

Find these no problem but need the assistance of two paper tissues!
Place spring into seal at 12 oclock and wedge in place with tissue between seal and concrete,streach spring around seal to about 5 oclock and jam in second tissue.Fitting rest of spring then easy with two hands to streach it into place.Whooaaa. Cooking with Electric (not a Corgi) man 🙂
Tried this method today and……..thirty seconds.
Old dogs and new tricks spring to mind 8)Thanking you.

Re: candy Activa 105ac
Ollocks
I meant suspension legs.
A customer was in the shop prattling on about hinges she bought and they didn’t fit, turns out her sister has a washing machine that looks the same so she gave us the details off that one 😯Tony C
Re: Am I doing it wrong?
Both right really. I just don’t see the point in undercutting someone just to get the job whemn we’re not talking fortunes anyway in most cases.
I forgot to mention that this one started off by asking if we have a call out charge as well!
Call it moralistic but thats me. If others do that, fine. I prefer to do the jobs on my own merit rather than the back of someone else. Mind you if they then cock it up and the customer comes back (happened quite a few times) I don’t mind at all then 😉Tony C
Re: A Joke I Received Earlier
Again talking of parrots;
I used to do a regular call on a 95 in Islington. First time there I was working away when there was an almighty SCREECH :eeek: .
Damn near s**t myself.
They hadn’t bother to tell me this customer had a cockatoo (or was it just a rumour) in a cage near the washer.
I made damn sure it was out of the room next time I worked there.
T CRe: A Joke I Received Earlier
Wanda’s dishwasher stopped working so she called an engineer. Since she had to go to work the next day, she told the engineer, “I’ll leave the key under the mat. If you fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the worktop, and I’ll post you a cheque.”
“Oh, by the way don’t worry about my bulldog. He won’t bother you. But, whatever you do, do NOT, under ANY circumstances, talk to my parrot!” “I REPEAT, DO NOT TALK TO MY PARROT!!!”
When the engineer arrived at Wanda’s house the following day, he discovered the biggest, meanest looking bulldog he has ever seen. But, just as she had said, the dog just lay there on the carpet watching the engineer go about his work.
The parrot, however, drove him nuts the whole time with his incessant yelling, cursing and name calling. Finally the engineer couldn’t contain himself any longer and yelled,
“SHUT UP, you stupid, ugly bird!” To which the parrot replied, “Get him, Spike!” 😆
Re: Hoover AL150
Yup Today,
Similar Hoover board, same fault.
There is a dry joint on the grey block (relay?) on this one. Tried resoldering but the leg is way too short, so away to be repaired as we speak!!
