My luck....
Turbo Mini Forums

Starting to think about my luck or lack of it the last 3 months.
Fridge died in August.....bought a new one.
Metro died in September....still fixing it.
Transit died in October.....fixed, still got teething faults
November......damn washing machine!!!!!!! Need a new one!!!
Just want my metro up & running!!!!!!!
Going to start praying & going to church on a Sunday soon!

What's wrong with the Metro Jason?

I'm just up the road if you need another set of hands.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

Cheers m8...just a engine rebuild. Got new rings, shells, pump..but household apilliance failure now soaking up the cash! Just done £300 on engine....then other things go wrong!

do a search for "wolfie" have a read of a few posts THEN youll know what bad luck is, then youll feel a whole lot better.

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

good point Carl. Good perspective. If wolfie needs a hand with anything...I'll try my best :)

Commiserations.

I'm also suffering the washing machine failure. It's threatening my aquisition of some 10" wheels and brakes to suit :(

From the noise the thing was making..thought it was bearing. Got the drum out..the whole spline end has just rotted away! Only 5 years old.

I'm not even going to try and fix mine. It's banging about and bits are breaking off the drum.

Effing thing, 5 year AEG, cost £500, supposed to be the muts nuts.

Now the MD wants a £1200 Miele. Might be money well spent if it lasts, but it's a big gamble.

£220 indesit...damn it...
Only old people talk about washing machine quality! I'm 34 for f**** sake!

That's obviously why I replied. 50+.

Wondered what that smell of moth balls was!
I need to spend time on the HC racing 'B' car! Not crap for the house!

Jason, try some of the domestic spares websites, I've managed to get spare bits for a few things now, not as dear as you think often as well.

Worth a try Tom. If the drum was stainless, I would of welded the thing back together

hmm washing machines....

I managed to keep the last one going until its 18th year, not long got a new one I hope i can coax this one along with a similar amout of "minor repairs" for as long.

Got on to Indesit...gave me a discount. New drum, shaft & bearing £75 delivered. :)

Good stuff glad you got it fixed, although looking through earlier I found a place that was selling the "spider" (e.g. the three legged bit with shaft) as a repair part to fit to your existing drum, with the bearing, it was £65 though so for an extra tenner its worth having the drum too.

Thanks for looking Tom. Owe you a beer for spares website idea.

My washingmachine just stops in the midle of the program, and start flashing with all the lights. Only 6 years old :(

And the dishwasher have started to make a lot of noise, and its only 3-4 years old :(

Why cant this stuff just work??
