    Re: Here’s Hoping

    OK so as this is the ISE forum it must be an appliance of some sort.

    As we already have what must be the best washing machines and tumble driers on the market then it must be a dishwasher.

    So lets have an integrated version as I only sold one of the last offering and I could deffo sell numbers of a classy integrated D/W. ❗

    I have just bought some lamps for an american f/f from my local trade supplier and the bill is itemised with 15p per item WEEE charge.
    Seems a bit steep for 40p lamps especially as it is subject to VAT.

    Bet they don’t charge this at Poundshop 👿

    No it doesn’t

    The pump is on the other end of the motor and should work as long as the motor is running.

    If you pass this week you still have to pay the £480 to register with Gas Safe, which is the full 12 month price, yet you only get 9 months, then you pay some more.

    Plus the equipment, reg books.

    Most gas hobs now cost minus £150.00, gas ovens/cookers are getting rare, there are no gas tumble dryers.

    Most faults that are gas related are getting less, most of mine are leaks under guarantee caused by faulty installations.

    I get around 3 a month gas jobs and I make probably £60.00 if I’m lucky on all three jobs.

    This is exactly where I was 5 years ago.

    The only reason to stay registered was the big manufacturer contract and when that went it was goodbye CORGI.
    Then I got out of VAT and got rid of all the evil monkeys 😀

    No problem,chiselled it off and wound up the feet still wouldn’t move.
    Installer had no-nailsed a sheet of plywood to top of machine then no-nailsed that and jacked up the machine under the work top.

    It’s still there 😈

    I think this refers to Askoll circulation pumps where the moulded rubber outlet breaks down and leaks.
    Cheaper by far than the replacement pump but these fail for other reasons and you are only delaying the inevitable.

    Not a brilliant idea TBH and risky from the outset as the angle cut of the thread between BSP and NST is 5 degrees. Now that doesn’t sound much but will incur cross-threading to some degree. In time, especially if the water pressure is upwards of 2 bar it will give way at some point in time. 🙁

    Best make sure your PL Insurance is up to date first if you choose to force a standard BSP hose on, most of which are sub standard for starters. 😉

    Wouldn’t worry me in the least to fit a quality 3/4 BSP fitting pipe to one of these.
    They go on so tight that they won’t come off at any pressure.
    I have fitted dozens of them with no problem.

    If you want genuine hoses they only cost $10 on US mail order sites so might be worth the shipping charges.

    Re: Statesmen whats your view!

    Repair rates are ok as they don’t expect you to do bearing work under warranty and payment is prompt.

    The washers and dishwashers are Vestel and easy to repair.

    I don’t have a shop and I sold six last month just from the brochure. 😀

    Steve

    Edit. Forgot to say spares are supplied FOC so no worries about bills/credits/returns etc.

    Its a slow blow fuse TL6.3A.

    Don’t buy from spares distributor go to Maplins where they cost pennies 😉

    Some folks fit TL10.A as replacement but in my experience if its going to blow it will do regardless.
