Where does the time go? :think:0 -
Bother. Neither heating nor DW fix was permanent. Heating at least should be dealt with tomorrow.
DW is more of a problem. There is something stuck in the pump stopping it from turning. I've extracted two lemon pips, but there is definitely something else down there which I can't get to. After my next meeting I might try taking it apart a bit more... :eek:0 -
