  1. He wants reliable mate, quite often manufacturers can take upto ten days to come and and look at the machine and then they may have to order parts etc, Buy a lg or Bosch and be done, off to bed for me
  2. Yep some of the older miele machines wiegh a ton, some of there solid state motors are twice the size of other brands. The amount of lg motors I used To replace due to hall sensors failing has fallen massively, I've probably gone from changing one a month to one a year, so they must have done something to improve them.
  3. Aeg was a German built machine, zanussi was and still is, however in the last say 6 years both has been built in factory's in France, Sweden and and don't hold me to it but I think in Thailand. True what you say ref. candy and Hoover, they are pants. Some of the hotpoint appliances are still good quality, especially ones that use the old style brittish design drum assemblys! I repair between 35 and and 45 appliances a week and pretty quickly you pick up what makes are built by which manufacturer, a little like cars being built by the same company and just being branded differently.
  4. Good man, apart from zanussi/aeg are now owned by Electrolux and arnt a patch on the manufacturers of old.
  5. Go for the lg mate, ref. the Bosch washer/dryer you should have gone back to Bosch if it was only just out the warranty, kicked up a little fuss and they would have repaired/replaced it free of charge as they don't like people poo pooing there name, unlike any other manufacturer tbh, that's what I tell any of my customers who get a major fault a short time out of warranty.
  6. Cheap for a v spec, I should sack the house deposit and buy this beaut!! Glwts mate.
  7. Stay away from hotpoint/Hoover/candy/indesit/beko 7kg+ machines, don't get me wrong some slip through the net and are fine but for the most, the bearings are made of cheese and fail far too quickly. Parts warranties are great if your willing to pay £120 to get the manufacturer out to repair it when the part may only be a few pounds.
  8. Lg will be your best bet as you require a 10kg load, tbh most a rated energy efficient machines have the water to weight fill systems to load sensitive and all modern machines will not go into spin unless balanced properly, so nothing special there. If you said recommend one machine without 10kg etc I would say spend £400 on a 6kg 1200 spin bosch which would last donkeys years, coming in second however would be the lg. £500 Is pretty good for a 10kg machine and they are very quiet! Stay well away from any other make bar Miele(£800 plus for £10kg) in the 10kg capacity.
  9. Diesel for the last week or so here £1-46.9 Thats a local garage not a services
  10. The Avatars made me laugh, cant wait for this weekend, should be a cracker!!!!
  11. I missed the start, what happened with the water??
  12. WBC rules, chisora is catching him with a few punches now!
  13. Just remove your mid pipe and fit the second cat, as above, most have a friendly tester.
  14. Tease!!!! How good is it??? Very jealous! I sell my supra to buy my first house, you buy a gtr.
  15. No bud not at srr. Most 67mm turbos ther make around 620-640hp at 1.5 bar so about spot on in comparison to mine at 1.3. Take a look at the Ecu register on the forum to see different setups and dynos for a good comparison of what you will make. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?129455-Supra-ECU-Register
  16. I'm pretty sure smokey said he preferred the faster revving rb engine, don't hold me to that mind!
  17. The bay on the rb26 supra is a sad sight!
  18. I imagine with that turbo and a.r, j spec cams you would struggle with 580rwhp unless you were running upwards of 1.8 bar boost, maybe more. add some 272 cams and e85 it's probably doable at a safer 1.5 bar. For example I made 495whp and 586fwhp at 1.3 bar with 264 cams an a pt 6765 billet .81ar. Are you stuck with that turbo or is it just an idea at the moment? And i doubt the e manage will provide a great map at much power either, could be wrong but surely a standalone would be better?!
  19. As above good to see your on board, more pics of the whole car would be good!
