Anyone for a quality pressure washer

I get plenty of 'challenges' you can have for free.

 

Not so far to travel either, and much safer territory.

 

Someone once told me never to look anyone in the eye in Tiverton!

Rumour has it bout being all related and all having webbed feet Barry

Having looked into the fact its a cheap Chinese engine fitted and knowing the hassle of spares availability and there amusing fault finding guide which consist of "Engine low on compression" and the answer being "screw in the sparkplug" along with the fact they don't supply tappet clearances even

 

Have you any challenges in mind? Seem to have spare time in the evenings whilst the other half watches her soaps and it bores me silly finding something to do rather than have to listen to that cr@p....

Nothing in mind at present, but I often get machines in for 'service' that need more time (and money) spent on them to firstly identify, then fix, faults.

 

Customers often decide to 'move on' and buy new, rather than spend on investigation and repair, as well as a service.

 

If I was less busy I may be tempted to spend some time on these 'scrappers' as it could be there is not much wrong, but as it is I usually just skip them.

 

Its the sort of thing I tried 'selling' on the forum with proceeds to charity, but it got a little difficult when members started bonbarding me with questions about what was wrong. The point is that I just do not know, as I had not spent diagnosis time.

 

I will post some up on here again when I get some.

Great idea doing the charity thing with them Barry.

I love a good tinker and something a bit different and having to use some thought over the bread and butter stuff.

As you say it can be very uneconomic especially where labour cost are concerned as a business first having to break even then make profit to put bread on the table.

I can imagine you see an awful lot of "teeth sucking in air" on quotes with people thinking it will cost them a fiver and you will do it whilst they wait...
