...........washers.
ne1 know anything about em.

I borrowed me dads to wash me bikes, and now its fooked.

I dont think he's gonna be chuffed if he cant jet wash his drive every day What is it with retirees, they get into this routine and.............oops,

Pressure washers then.?

/me waits patiently for sensible answer.

How is it buggered? No power, no water, no nothing?

Did you have it running without water? (a real no-no).

 

[Wilier]

Theres water and power, but it looks like the seals on the pump (a swash plate job I rekon) are fooked, cos water leaks out from around the front end. BTW, its a Karcher 232plus.

Ive written to Karcher for a spares list, but Im not very hopefull

 

[SoWat]

Well, a leak would certainly suggest a dodgy seal, though I doubt it's because you washed your bike with it I don't think these (home version) things are designed to be used every day so blame it on your dad!

If you want to store up some major brownie points, get down to B&Q/Homebase and pick up a new one for them (they're quite reasonable at the moment).

they might even be nice enough to 'trade in' the old one if you ask

update

Got a reply from a lady at Karcher UK, sending me some drawings so I can ID the broken bits and order from them direct. Which is nice.

So I brought it in to work and one of me boys is stripping it down now.

Easy Life

OMG, its in a million bits now. I fear it will never work again, hope she sends the drawings soon.
