    It’s the first thing I use and the last when repairing / diagnosing.
    Dangerous for the DIY peeps without this tool and the ability to use and evaluate it’s readings. 😯
    Plus loop test of course which is equally as important.

    Re: S’now joke

    Thought I’d give it a go today,dug myself out once and then thanks to the customer having a 4 wheel drive and my rope I escaped again.
    Probably carry too much stuff in the van,plus peugot experts have a narrow wheel base which doesn’t help in bad weather,anyway in the drive again now for the rest of the week.
    It gets frustrating when you can’t get out for a few days and that probably clouds judgement a bit.
    At least I tried though.

    Re: S’now joke

    We have getting on for six inches in Lincolnshire,more on the higher ground.Although quite a bit of the county is flat the drainage dykes are all around and are very deep so if you slip off road your in big trouble. We usually escape the worst weather.
    Van will stay in the drive tomorrow for sure.

    Re: neff fridge k4254x4gb/02 icing up freezer

    If this is a frost free model it’s likely blocked with ice,you would need to leave off both compartments with doors open for a minimum of 36 hours to ensure it defrosts completely,including the freeezer evaporator which lies behind the back wall of the freezer.
    If the problem re surfaces you will have to check if sensors are OK.

    Re: Hoover Optima Fridge oozing sticky gunk

    Insulation is failing,condenser pipes often are routed through the cabinet walls to prevent condensation from freezer so thats what will feel hot.
    End of it’s useful life,it will just get progressively worse.Time to go shopping.
    Underscoring the text? makes it harder to read !

    On Monday I went to a house in a tiny hamlet a couple of miles from town. Propped my bike against the side wall of my customer’s house and walked to the door. Couldn’t make myself heard due to teen’s loud music upstairs but she’d left door open obviously for me so I walked in and started work on the dishwasher.
    Noticed the neighbour walked by the window and she stopped to stare at my bike for a half minute or so. She then moved it to the front of the house onto the road so that it was off her hard standing where there was room to park a bus :rolls: . You can only pity these people.
    Mike.

    Any pic’s of your bike available,obviously an eye catcher ?

    Re: humbled ?

    Similar,had a lady with an aged cooker in which the oven walls were rotting through,replacement required I told her,she asked can’t you patch it over I don’t want to be buying a new cooker at my age,I asked her how old she was she said 100 in three months,didn’t wear glasses,hearing spot on.
    I told her she should be buying the best there is,why save money at that age.Suppose it’s the habit of a life time.

    Re: Supplier of decent commercial wahing machine?

    You can calculatethe size of machine required.
    Any soiled washing,incontinents etc,local authorities might rerqire a sluice facility on the machine.
    Having said that many nursing homes don’t have the required equipment for proper hygenic laundry,seem to get away with it.
