DAF, you must have nicer customers than me 😀
I only get a glass of water if I ask for one after suck syphoning their blocked waste hose. 😉

No, Wrinkles that just about sums it up really 😥
As Ken and Ted have said, we all need to look closely at our own businesses to ensure that they are profitable, in many cases the money we are paid by the WP’s, insurers and manufacturers has not just stayed the same for many years, in some cases it has reduced while our costs have risen significantly.
That’s not to say that it is all doom and gloom. I may stick my neck on the line, but, in my view, this website and the fact we all talk has actually made a difference, notably certain WP’s etc are now asking our opinion, talking to us and manufacturers are wanting to work directly with Independants rather than let “Mr. Middle Man” take his cut to do a job, which in many cases is very poorly done indeed.
The quicker those that can help make changes by negotiation rather than threats and lies the better, we can help at this end, we are all ears those who would like to talk, those that don’t, well, I’ll leave that to you’re imaginations, suffice to say, I will not let my future be dictated to me, and I’m certain most others on this site will share that sentiment.
Those people know who they are, so if you’re sick of hearing the rumours and moans, do something about it ! We have opened the door to communication, you’re reading it now.

As Ted mentions, Comet sell spares by post from Leeds, their number is 01132 310523 or it was the last time I checked anyway.
Many of the appliances they sell are exclusive to them, especially the obscurely named one’s, so you will most likely have to obtain it from them directly. Bear in mind though this is a gas appliance and legally they may be restricted on whether they can sell it or not.

And some of that thread has spilled over in to the “Care 4” thread in the “work and vacancies” forum. 😯
Dave.
As Alex rightly said, Devondale have come up with the best deal.
Robon KMP4116DL at £165 plus VAT. If anyone knows of a better deal please post it or if these meters and the price are OK, could I have the definite numbers of units to order please.
Thanks
Dave.
How about we all donate one call (labour only) on the day itself, Friday 21st November. It could ammount to a fair bit collectively.

Does this mean we will have unruly gangs of 1600rpm Italians and Koreans roaming the streets causing havoc and mugging innocent laundrette users for their soap powder 😯
What next, gas cookers commiting arson ? Vacuum cleaners putting the wind up old grannies ?
Who knows 😕
I’m off before this becomes too surreal 😉

According to rumour, the way you work you’re engineers they are unlikely to put on any weight anyway 😉

It means temperature under range, heater failure I would assume.
BTW Chris the answer to you’re question is already in this forum, see Known Error Codes 😉
Dave
Yes, this was mentioned before on the mailing list after Li helped us out when the Yahoo forum mysteriously closed down.
As the guy is in business and gives us his services and a lot of bandwidth free of charge is to his credit and a show of appreciation from us would be the very least we can all do.
I would just like to say that UKW is, and always will be free of charge to it’s members, this is a gesture of goodwill to say a big thank you to Li and is purely voluntary.
Let me know the address to send my contribution please.
Dave.

Bonzaco, as previously mentioned, all this information is on the TDS Offline DVD at £25 odd, the Part number you have quoted is £19.50. As the DVD also contains virtually all the service manuals and parts exploded diagrams and listings and config codes, I know which I would prefer.
In another thread I did make an offer of ordering anyone a disk while I was ordering mine for those who did not have an account with Distriparts. I’m not sure if it’s still available, you can try them on 01325 302464.
