    Using heavy duty tubular door latches on sprung door handles?

    Hi John, Latches are the Altro easy T heavy duty, recommended for their decent quality and price was affordable for me. Handles are Karcher lever on a rose type. I really just wanted to know if this combination will work okay albeit may be heavier on the hand when opening I...

    Using heavy duty tubular door latches on sprung door handles?

    Purchased some heavy duty tubular latches on the basis of long life and trouble free operation. I have now realised that the door handles I purchased some time ago are sprung and the heavy duty latches are for unsprung door handles. Can anyone point out any disadvantages of using this...

    BEKO Excellence WMB 71442. So far, So good.

    :) Read lots of reviews before we took the plunge and opted for a Beko WMB 71442 washing machine. Owners remarked on how quiet it was, but to be honest I find it only a bit quieter than my previous machine that was pretty old. Have had it for just over 1 year now and was tempted to take out...

    Bosch WFO285SGB/01 Spin Cycle problems! with a twist!

    Apparently the brushes are not patent but Bosch although the brushes themselves have no markings to tell. Have been reading about a possible dirty commutator and how to clean so I will clean it up and see how it goes.

    Bosch WFO285SGB/01 Spin Cycle problems! with a twist!

    Yeah!, had thought about the brushes being patent ones, - Im really not sure how to tell the difference, but with so many people using the patent ones and resolving the spin cycle issues it seems a bit of a long shot but you may well be right. had read about that. One thing I noticed was...

    Bosch WFO285SGB/01 Spin Cycle problems! with a twist!

    Thanks for that, managed to find an image online and Im sure i have put the motor back together okay, still have the problem of drum not turning at all now when before it would turn on the wash but not on spin. Find it hard to accept that a machine thats under 4 years old would have a failed...

    Bosch WFO285SGB/01 Spin Cycle problems! with a twist!

    Hi, had read all the threads regarding spin cycle problems before I tackled my own machine, seemed to always point to rectifying brushes problems with good results however brushes on this machine were changed only 4 weeks ago by a appliance engineer. Usual problem of machine washing...
