    Please remember that a volunteer is worth twenty pressed men!!!!

    So 1.1 volunteers could do the work of these 22 engineers then….. 😯

    Thanks Bryan,
    A customer was thinking of buying one and I’m trying to steer them towards a AEG instead. I warned them not to buy it if it’s Chinese so I can now confirm that it is.

    Have you checked the insulation resistance of the element immediately after the rcd has tripped?

    It was very interesting, good fun, great food and venue, and ran smoothly as usual. Apart from the incessant f*****g in the bar last night, that is; the perpetrator of which should remain anonymous, don’t you think, Bryan?

    Thanks to Bryan and Tina once again for organising another great do..

    I had a call to look at a centre glass island unit today and have advised the customer that as it needed 2 people to fit it it would need 2 people to remove it for repair.

    I had to replace the gauze filters in one of these a while ago. I ordered them from Baumatic with their part no. but the wrong ones arrived. They never could find the right ones, nor understand why the part number led to the wrong ones. The hood was only two or three years old.

    Re: Hose clip pliers

    eastlmark wrote:what “supplied clip” is that then? I never seem to get any. These pliers look like Clic type. Works on quite a few but not on the re usuable types. IME its not the tool that is hard to find (I have 3 different ones) it sourcing the clips themselves that is the problem.

    I often re-use these clips; it’s not a problem provided you don’t open them up too far when you remove them so that they come apart. To re-clamp them i use an old-fashioned pair of pincers; the type used to remove nails. A good alternative are narrow jubilee clips which are easily available from, I think, Vauxhall spares counters but Simon46 has more info on that as he got me some.
