Definitely worth also checking to see if there's any wear on the spindle. If it's pitted replace it (that's the spider referred to in the link) otherwise the seals will go in no time at all and you'll be back to square one.

Is it draining after the wash part of the programme?

Get the engineer back, make him a mug of tea and sit him down to watch it. Don't understand! The machine does not do what it is meant to do. If his "diagnostic check" does not detect a fault then it is a load of old b*ll*cks. Demonstrate the fault while he is drinking his tea and then...

On a Megaflo system there is only one pressure reduction valve to go wrong. I've had mine for over seven years and no problems so far. As far as servicing, all you can do is look at it (at least that's what's happened so far!) I suppose it really depends on whether you think the extra...

Try cleaning it out using the hoover or blowing it. I've known things like insects get behind the circuit board and cause intermittent alarms.

Megaflo - pro's Hot and cold water pressure equal and lots of it. Potable hot water (no open tank) One less tank to worry about (no header tank required) Megaflo - con's Needs TLC on a regular basis to recharge the air gap in the tank. If you need it serviced you need a properly...

Classic symptom of an expansion vessel in need of some TLC or replacement. The EV contains air to compensate for the expansion of water when the temperature rises. If there is insufficient air in the EV the water will pressurise the system and once it hits 3bar will vent off through the...

A mate of mine was offered a job in the States a while back. He was going to move lock, stock and barrel. However, he found great difficulty in getting the company to sponsor him for his green card even though they had assured him this would not be a problem. In the end it didn't work out and...

Interesting. I'll put the router on my christmas list. Cheers :D

DIY's a wonderful thing isn't it! :)

Rather than detergent, use washing soda crystals. If you do this on a periodic basis then it will tend to keep your machine free from the muck that tends to accumulate (and smells).

Word of advice - don't start buying stuff until you've found out what the problem is. You could waste a lot of money.

I don't know the workings of the Candy model but if a cycle stops then it means that the machine is waiting for something to happen. As Breezer said it could be waiting to heat up (heater or thermostat?) or possibly for some more water to go into the machine (one of the inlet valves not...

Hi big-all, Good advice! Out of interest, what blade would you recommend for worktops? I was using a standard wood blade (brand new). Regards Ian

Been helping my son fit out his kitchen with some new units. He was a bit unsure how things were done so I went along to give him some of the benefit of my knowledge (!) All went well until we came to cut the main worktop to length. I marked it out, clamped a guide strip to it and proceeded...

And they wonder why people dump stuff in the countryside!!

Yes, could be the motor brushes. Check them for wear.

Non stick scourer and neat Flash should do the trick.

0.05 ohms is 5/100 of an ohm in old money or to put it another way - a short circuit. Those 5/100's are just a bit of residual contact resistance plus probably a slightly bad connection between the meter at the contacts. No problem with that reading at all. No. Nothing to do with it.

Ah that explains that then. I was just too young to have completely blown my mind at that point. I seem to remember coming round in the late 70's. Don't know what happened in the meantime.
