    My thoughts are that if a punter wants info, let them find it but I wouldn’t go out of my way to help. I’m in business to make a living from my knowledge and will help anyone in the trade but not Joe Soap who wants to save a few bob.

    Quite agree.
    Were all in this together & have trained for many years , why share our
    trade secrets with the very people who pay our wages??
    We need the work, why give it away.

    Re: Bosch SMS50E02GB/07 dishwasher no heat.

    Just been to similar machine SMS50E02 GB/02- first one of these I’ve come across ;
    Mines not taking water, “No water light on”, just pumps and wash motor working.
    No water in base, checked Aquastop , no power getting to it.
    Polystyrene on side a good idea,( not) had to cut a lump off to get to bleeding module.
    Bosch used to be such good machines, shame , Progress my Arse.
    Any ideas of fault , can only assume module but open to offers.

    Re: Rated People?

    Are you saying Checkatrade is a waste of time Martin , I’ve been a Trusted trader member since September last year , and have had average response so far. Had a letter from Trusted trader scheme today saying that they will be linking there website with Checkatrade because of poor take up of the scheme in our area.
    I only signed up with the scheme cause it was backed by Trading Standards and in these tough times, would give my company better credability.
    Trusted Trader do advertise well so am hoping word will get round to the public to inform of Proffesional Tradesmen- well here’s hoping anyway.

    Re: chiropractor

    Just saw this post, i was advised to check out a Chi Machine from a customer who noticed i was struggling to work on her cooker hood- the odd angle you have to adopt you see- after some research i Purchased a Sun Ancon chi Machine and have never looked back.
    I use it whenever i have to after a rough day where my back aches.
    I’ve been using it now & again for 5 years and have never had back trouble since.
    It a chinese therapy machine which works for me, unlike there washing machines. 😆
