Re: MFI Turmoil
Is that 3K from the 1st OCT cos that’s all they are supposed to be paying ,I would also make sure your remittance ties up with your statement .
Re: De Dietrich vz994641/1 cutting out
if its the one I think it is there is a cutout on top of the heater tank ,but its more likely to be a broken door wire

LawrenceRe: By The Way…
If they are tested where I think they are they sit in a huge warehouse for ever and a day ,Iv’e seen it it’s like a washing machine graveyard.
Re: CDA door seal
washing up liquid around the groove ,socket on long extension and you can just get to it through the top ,it is a pig to do last one I did was in the height of summer I lost a stone in sweat !!.
LawrenceRe: MFI Turmoil
In my converstaion’s with him I was told that all work carried out after the 1st Oct would be paid .
I reminded him that all but two of the Jobs I was owed for were invoiced and in some cases paid by D&G before that date to which I was told that is part of Oldco and the recievers were picking there way through it all still the same outcome -no money .
I weighed up the risk and decided that it was not worth it ,if you google MFI MEP you will find a forum for MFI employees ,makes intersting reading especially with regard to appliance manufacturers not being prepared to supply them.
I don’t see how MFI can survive as people are more worried about where there food is coming from not where they are going to cook it.

Re: MFI
I spoke to my local engineer,when I say local he is more than 60 miles away from me .
He was saying that he is there only Corgi engineer for Essex,Suffolk,Norfolk and Cambridgeshire 😯 so he is doing a lot of miles at the moment.
I think Mark Ridler is trying to regain some credibility with the likes of D&G at the moment,hence him telling them he is sorted ,he is also sending there own engineers all over the place.Lawrence
Re: MFI
I gave Ridler my terms to go back and work with them ,his response was “no way” so I have parted company with them .
Shame really ,but I am afraid I just do not trust the head honcho at MFI or Mark Ridler himself anymore .
On another note I was talkng to an ANS engineer myself who told me they are going back under the old terms with the promise of a review sometime ….
There rate is a staggering £37 per call plus sundries ,He was a bit shocked when I told him that insurance companies pay me more than that for inspections.
I think that a lot of them are so desperate for work that they will take anything as they don’t feel they have any other choice.
