Re: wma64
Hi
I have started using Qualtex in sittingbourne, (they have recruited all the decent staff from the now Defunkt Washvac) VERY HELPFULL and decent delivery charges and do free delivery in my area 2 days a week.
Anyhow, they have it in stock and it is only £47.18 plus vat.
Hope it helps

Re: Indesit WIU 80 fried
If it’s on thePCB itself then you will need the whole PCB replaced.
If this is a documented “Accident at the Transformer” then you should consider getting your local Electricity authourity to pay for an engineer to carry out the repairs.
Re: Connect next day delivery? Am I just unlucky?
I’m Sure someone from connect read these forums, They are coming to collect it tomorrow 🙂
Re: Connect next day delivery? Am I just unlucky?
Had a nightmare with them too.
Ordered a £80 element for a customer on a Thursday morning and expected next day delivery told the customer I would be able to fit it Friday PM which clinched the repair as they were umming and ahhing about spending so much money on thier dryer, anyhow it didn’t arrive, I phoned Conect and they said it would be sent, Managed to talk the customer into waiting till Monday. again didn’t arrive. phoned and it was DHL’s fault this time it was at their delivery center waiting for a loading bay time ????
Managed to talk the customer into Tuesday, then DHL delivered it to the wrong address, I phoned to find out where it was and all the driver could say was “i delivered it to the house on the left” Someone was here all day to take the parcel and the signature was not from anyone who lives around here.
Phoned connect and they promised to send out another on the same day. managed to talk customer round again and once again it didn’t arrive. by now the customer had had enough and canceled the job and vowed never to use me again.
Online it said the element was sent, so as the customer had canceled I resigned myself to the fact i’d refuse delivery.
another week passed before it was actually sent out by connect 15 days after the ordginal order was placed, and it arrived via recorded delivery on the following Monday. The postman refused to take it back so i had to accept it, I emailed connect to find out what they were playing at as I really didn’t want to waste any more time and money phoning them up, and got no response.
Then they invoiced my for both bloody elements, I refused to pay and asked them to collect the one that was here as it was unwanted and 2 and a half weeks late.
Well they still haven’t collected it and that was September, it’s still sitting in the box it was sent in, by the door. and the item is still on my statment. Managed to get the lost one taken off the account after they had a debt collection company chase me for the money. they keep promising to collect it, but never do.
Found Homespares are by far more reliable, and loads cheaper, also the delivery is relative to what your buying.
Re: Is this Legal?
Yep , DIY Gas installation and service work is perfectly legal,
Although not perfectly sensible.Maybe the government should have wasted the Part P introduction money in making DIY Gas work illegal, would have made my life a whole lot easier
Re: Right said Fred……
I’m now of the oppinion that if you can get money out of an insurance company, (especially any that are part of the RBS group, such as Directline) then go for it. I can’t stand them. ripped me off good and propper and i’m still rebuilding the house and will be paying the costs off till retirement.
As long as the insurance are paying, then there’s no need to feel guilty.

Re: Candy AQ100 door hinge
Thanks Martin, I looked at that one and compared the fit list to the door and couldn’t see the matching model numbers, on second look I see some of them 🙂
Rebuilding is going OK, i’ll be uploading a website showing my construction efforts sometime during the next few weeks.
Re: Creda model 48243 (0000LD) – oven not heating, no fan.
I’m Extemely confident that it will be your thorough cleaning that has knocked the timer on.
When the timer is activated you get no oven functions whatsoever, all other functions will be fine including the grill.
Another possibility maybe the oven door switch but far less likely.
You are not the first and definatly wont be the last person that will do it this week, so no need to feel silly.
Re: Creda model 48243 (0000LD) – oven not heating, no fan.
Hi
Have you checked the timer has not been turned on by mistake ??
if it is not on manual you will get the same problem
Hope this helps

Re: Part P again
This was what I was going to do originally, but it costs £117.50.
They come and visit before, during and after the instalation,
I was thinking that if I did the Part P It would be handy to have and I could justify the costs, offset it against my tax and would be an all round better way forward.
But it turns out not to be the case.
The other reason I prefered to do it with out the interferance of the council was that the house has been classed as a repair nor a refurb which means I don’t have to go through all the building control hassles provided I put everything back as it was, but some of the original joists and supports were far too small (example 10 meter span of 40 mm x 160 mm joists with one support in the centre) the room was like a trampoline, so they have been changed to current regulations 50 x 200 split with 2 supports. Even though this is now 6 times stronger than it used to be, the council will probably moan and make me go through the full building plans procedure which cost a fortune.
