hi conny thanks for the capacitor advice, the battery is working fine, its been tried out in other makita tools, we are asking a couple of hire centres where they get their tools repaired and there is a makita centre in south birmingham about 30 miles away but we are both working out of town and trying to do stuff at the weekend is not easy.
my lad is ****ed off, hes on a prison job in bridgeend and hes direct, there are 6 subbies the firm have put on there to get the job punched out, not one cordless drill between the six of them, and his drill is passed around on continuous use and after two weeks of this its showing signs of wear
no surprise hes not happy, being older it would be easier for me to say f@@k off, enough **** taking
