Thanks Paul and thanks for your help. It would be great to have a new dial and to touch up the few rust spots. I think once that's done it will amazing. Rich |

Glad you got it going Rich, did the new brushes make much of a difference to the motor noise? Shame that the brushes I pulled out of it were actually quite long and would of given a good load more use but that chip out of the left one were hopefully what was causing the crackle. The black ones which I hope you got are a much better bet for bedding in. Now just swap that Dyson and Miele out for some true British Quality!!! LOL Should I bring my Hoover polisher down with me? You supply the bowling balls, be sure to have some fun in that fab lounge of yours strking down some of those 'vacs' you had lined up in the hall lmao. Any more advice just lemme know :) :) |

Glad it put a smile on your face :) :) :) LOLOLOLOLOL Like a bit O Banter meself. I would also agree to say the Germans produce stuff NEAR the quality British machines too. Near but not quite close, I much agree with you there! Which magazine at the time reported that Miele only had Average Reliability from its surveys with enough owners to report. Hotpoint and Hoover also fared with Average Reliability making several models Best Buys. Hotpoint Home Laundry - Only Hotpoint Has It All. The New Gens were certainly the classiest and definitely received the most informative and knowledgeable brochures. |

Hang On Hang On! This is not a thread for debating about whats best or better, I simply made a banterous comment from admiration to Hotpoint. Rich's kitchen would certainly suit his Hotpoint and look fab. Now seeing as I addressed that post to Richard himself and nobody else I find it really unfair that the pair of you come hot headed into the thread and attempt to start flame wars especially as my comments had no reasoning or goading for you to do so. Not a rant but something for you both to think over and realise. Rob |

I can say that because as I posted above....... "Which magazine at the time reported that Miele only had Average Reliability from its surveys with enough owners to report. Hotpoint and Hoover also fared with Average Reliability making several models Best Buys." Servis ironically scored Below average with owners reporting for Which not to reccomend any of their machines as best buys. Its long since we had a thread about New Gen Hotpoints and I thought it would be nice to add other things not included in previous threads like Which magazine information and details such as I have posted. |

Sorry if I sounded like I was being hot-headed. It was only meant as a sort of "my 2 cents" thing. I actually really love old hotties. Had a nightmare of a time with an Electra branded Hotpoint in the early 90's, but prior to that, they were great. HOWEVER, in todays market, Hotpoint doesn't score anywhere near as close as a Miele, Bocsh, Zanussi or even a Beko for wash performance and reliability. Shame, as they were once great. GOD DAMN YOU, MERLONI!!

Stickers, Well just as another hint and tip from the walking and talking Daily Mail encyclopedia of household management. Smear some full fat mayonnaise over that sticker and leave it to soften. Use plastic spatula to lightly scrape it away with no effort. works a treat everytime with no tempting as it may seem gouging from finger nails and other sharp implements. Glad its ok though. The sump hose is a 5 minute job if you really feel up to it LOL pair of pliers and a few swear words usually help. One of those jobs that id certainly have a scissor lift platform for in my dream workshop. :P |
