Yes but wasn't quick enough! Just tried it again, ran it for a few minutes, stopped it. Re-start, loud buzz, blown fuse. Seems my nearest agent is a 100 mile round trip so nearest skip I think. Ps no reply from Nilfisk HQ!

Thanks for input. Update. Connected without extension. Used for 10 minutes today, started fine. Stopped and when restarted , loud buzz and blown 13 amp fuse in plug. Tried again with new fuse, loud buzz and blown fuse. Now non starter. So Capacitor?

Thanks, so do I need to go as big as 2.5mm?

Cable from machine is 1.0mm printed on cable Extension cable I can't see anything printed but both of the cables measure identical 7mm overall diameter Can't remove either plug to measure the core. Extension is 20 metres+ and used unwound. And thanks Harry

Thanks yes Watts!:eek: Is my domestic cable reel likely to be 1.5mm? I thought I needed larger2.5mm and 16 amp cable , not so? Will try direct to mains socket and report back.

My Nilfisk E140.2 washer has started acting up. It runs for a few minutes but if I stop and try to start again it "buzzes" loudly and then blows the fuse in the plug. I'm advised it may be the capacitor or, more likely, I'm using the wrong extension lead. So question is can I make a larger...

Think I'm now convinced to try Aqua Guard Satin . It's on oil based gloss. If I use the Aqua undercoat can I get away with one top coat or can I use two top coats? Like to avoid three coats if possible Thanks

Thought this might be of interest Found 3 tins about 12 months old ,stored out of daylight drips on tin-result- Johnstones Aqua Satin Brilliant White water based , very pronounced yellow and yellow in tin. Dulux Diamond trade satin Brilliant white water based , still very white Johnstones oil...

Just done a second coat which did indeed go on easier but can't get the finish that I could get with the old oil based gloss . I am used to a finish like glass! Does oil based satin yellow like oil based gloss and is it easier to apply? Thanks all

That's certainly a "money no object " paint! 4.5 litres for £100. Any other thoughts ? Thanks

Not concerned with cost ,just want the best finish and easiest application, which better paints please?

Maybe use undercoat instead of primer/undercoat, seems the latter is preventing the brush from flowing the paint.

Thanks Chivas, I've just done a test on an old cupboard door gloss painted and the Satin went on quite easily and the finish is far better so perhaps I don't need a primer /undercoat, just 2 coats of satin? Any recommends for which brand of Satin please?

Thanks, is that the "Monarch Elite XL", labelled as "stiff" ?

I've just used Dulux Trade Diamond satin water based on a widow sill and radiator after 2 coats of a primer/undercoat. I'm struggling to get a decent finish despite using a quality synthetic brush and damping the surface, the paint is dragging and refuses to flow. The finish is very poor. Should...

I'm about to start a big job using probably Dulux Trade Diamond Satin (white) Water based I'm keen to get the best possible brushes. Which Purdey brush should I buy? I have a set of "Prodec" Synthetic which seem ok but am advised Purdey are the best, but which model? Thanks

Thanks will do, any thoughts on Aqua Gloss?

Thanks for that, just found some Zinser 1-2-3 ,will that be better?

I'm about to try Johnstones Aqua Water Based Gloss on a big job. It's advised that Johnstones Aqua Undercoat should be used but I have a large supply of primer/ undercoat. It's going on old oil based gloss. Can I use this as undercoat or do I have to use Johnstones, thereby doubling the cost...

Thanks Harry Yes it has 4 terminals but one L is blocked to prevent access. This one has 2 internal wires connected. I used only the accessible L N E.
