    Bosch Shredder - Defective Switch

    Obsolescence Management - For dry use only :) The recommended switch was wired differently so not suitable. Manage to find this switch in amongst my 'odds and sods' box.

    TPMS Replacement

    I have now driven the car but the one tyre is still indicating 1Psi. The tyre sensor app on the dash has been reset to remove the amber tyre warning light, but the 1Psi indication remains. Am really annoyed now as my daughter will worry about it, despite her family having a 2nd older car which...

    TPMS Replacement

    Hi All. Just replaced a TPMS valve on my daughters Ford Galaxy as the valve stem was leaking. A Ford supplied valve was fitted by the tyre fitter but on driving the car, the dash is showing 1Psi for that wheel, despite it being inflated to 37Psi. Is there a process to calibrate it? Cheers All Doug

    Bosch Shredder - Defective Switch

    Just realised the control knob is shaped such that when it is rotated, it converts the round motion to a horizontal motion to operate the switch. I will order the switch and see how it goes.

    Bosch Shredder - Defective Switch

    Thanks SFK for the info. The Karcher black switch lever appears to be a push/pull type, whereas the Bosch shredder is a rotary switch. I'll have to see whether the switch can be modified, or the shredder can be wired as a push switch. The problem is that the on/off switch plastic control knob...

    Bosch Shredder - Defective Switch

    Yes, I had no response on the 'Tools' section so thought I would try 'General'. Frustrating that a perfectly good machine may have to be scrapped due to the lack of a cheap switch. May have to look at a possible jury rig repair.

    Reform did well. Again.

    After serving 36yrs in the RN, I worked in the Civil Service for 12 years before finally retiring. The work ethic of the office staff was totally alien to what I was used to in the Service. I obviously set too high a bar when working with civvies ;)

    Reform did well. Again.

    Public Services - The head count of civil servants has shot up since Covid - Numbers can be reduced simply by ridding the CS of the dead wood who are just biding their time for pension and the slackers. Cut Taxes for the Rich - These rich kids generate a lot of money for the treasury - How many...

    What would you do? (Kitchen warranty situation)

    That's very sad for a craftsman to go like that. I can understand your frustration to find someone with the same work ethic.

    What would you do? (Kitchen warranty situation)

    Ask your retired installer for a quote and submit that to the company. Could you encourage your original installer to do the work? I know many retirees who keep their sanity by doing the occasional hobble. I also know many retirees who wouldn't lift their finger as they lol on their sunbeds :cool:
