Dear man What can I say that people haven't said before today? Generous with your time and your messages. Again, I thank you for a set of ultra rare (in this country) dough-hooks for my Mixmaster. An amazing cook who has shared more recipes than I care to remember and I for one will be doing a...

Theoretically, that shouldn't happen here - our consumer laws include a 'reasonableness' clause that effectively states that a purchaser, based on reasonable use should expect a reasonable life from a product based on it's initial price when compared to other, similar products. Effectively, you...

This comes up time and again ...and it is, generally speaking, North Americans who do not fill a front load washing machine to capacity and maintain the 'duvet' or 'comforter' argument when it comes to buying something that, to European and possibly Australian eyes, is simply enormous. I've...

If you read the Haier instruction manual, it states on the last page that the 60c cotton wash with 'Intensive 3' selected takes 176minutes.... Not exactly 'quick'

I want one NOW! Beko certainly did make the last line... I may well have to sabotage my machine in order to justify a purchase :)[this post was last edited: 9/6/2013-22:26]

My mother suds-saved for 20 years, but only ever used the wash water a second time. When the machine was ready to do the next load, she would add another 1/3 of a measure of detergent. This ensured that the concentration was correct as whilst suds-savers might return 80% of the water that is...

Wait until she curls up her coils Currently, you've a fridge that has given you virtually no problems. Historically, appliances do one of three things: - have issues during warranty - have issues during and after warranty - have minimal issues Falling into the 3rd category, I wouldn't...

The last of the Fiat 126p, the 'Bis' was actually a water cooled 704cc 2 cyl with the engine laying on its side under the boot floor and the car finally getting the hatch it deserved.

Guard vents Were often retro-fitted here long after the early 1960's. I think you could get them installed on Heidelberg made cars right up until production ceased in 1966. Additionally, some dealers here fitted them in the 1970's, though they do tend to detract from the lines of the car and I...

John, Congratulations. Looks wonderful and I bet sounds great too!

June was originally a Sydney car. Summer time temperatures of around 35c during the day are pretty much the norm, but Sydney traffic in the 1970's and early 1980's wasn't as stupid as it is now - it moved. It's changed dramatically in the last 15 or so years since I lived there and wouldn't...

Sorry, not my intention. If you ever head to the land of Oz, you know you'll be expected to take June for a good drive :) Yes and yes. Mine doesn't have air-conditioning - probably a good thing knowing that they run even hotter! They were poisonously expensive cars here in the mid 1970's...

That high pressure zone may help getting the air into a DS engine bay, but getting it out of the engine bay of a DS23 injection isn't easy....talk about a hot car to drive in anything warmer than cool/mild weather!

I'm assuming that the fan 'pulls' air through the same as in a DS, rather than pushes it forward.

Rich I'm sorry, but you're wrong. The 600 was rear engined/rear wheel drive. High powered versions did have the addition of a front radiator to supplement the one at the rear. http://www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au/car_info_fiat_600.htm

Aldo You need to do some internet research on VW and their DSG gearbox issues. Start with Australian websites as the recall here has only just occurred. Depending on the engine and gearbox combination, they are not renown for their reliability. Don't give up. Hound them. Get on VW forums in...

Only on some of their appliances The majority of Whirlpool made front load machines we receive here in Oz are made in China....that's all 'Euro' sized machines. Only the 'Duet' sized machines come from Europe now.

You could try it, but it is likely to be a waste and there is a good chance it will cause your detergent to not be as effective. Use the dispenser...just ensure you water down the softener if it is particularly 'thick' so that it is like water. If you are particularly concerned about mould...

The dishwasher above ...is a Dishlex. The stove is a Simpson.

Robert You do a fantastic job of providing a place for all of us to effectively congregate. The very least that we can do is support it by donating if we are able. Quite frankly, you're worth more money! x
