    AC400 Record Power air filter - not working

    Today I fitted the replacement circuit board which RP had sent me (very quickly as well - impressed). I managed to sort out getting access to the circuit board. Had to take the whole end off, which I wasn't expecting to have to do. But anyway the whole thing is now back operational. So will see...

    AC400 Record Power air filter - not working

    Well Record Power sent me a new circuit board to replace the old one. It arrived this morning. I have just been down to my wee workshop to unscrew the panel. There are 4 screws. And looking at the parts diagram it's clear that it screws into 4 nuts on the rear. BUT - the darned screws aren't...

    AC400 Record Power air filter - not working

    I got in touch with Record Power and they have come back and said this is a common fault with this model! And since it is under warranty they will provide a free replacement! I await further details from them now on how this will happen. So perhaps a great result

    AC400 Record Power air filter - not working

    Thanks for the replies. I will do a quick check tomorrow when I can. Since it was bought in December 2022 it will still be under its 5 year warranty. Bought from D&M Tools back then

    AC400 Record Power air filter - not working

    I have an AC400 Record Power air filter - bought in December 2022. I hadn't been in the workshop for a few weeks due to the cold, and have found out that the air filter has stopped working. Have checked the fuses - internal and plug to see if there is a problem, But that hasn't solved it...

    3 piece loft ladder, how to lubricate?

    I installed a 3 section wood loft ladder about 6 years ago. The wider depth treads are a godsend now. I didn't buy this one from Screwfix, but it is similar. https://www.screwfix.com/p/3-sections-insulated-timber-loft-ladder-kit-2-77m/972fh Mind you I am getting on a bit now and I wouldn't...

    Coopers

    I grew up in a NE Scotland fishing port, and for a part-time job in my teens in the 1960s worked in a fish yard where I learned to fillet fish. The yard was run by a mannie who liked a wee drink down the pub. But he did employ a part-time cooper to make barrels for the small amount of herring...

    Royal Mail - complete ban on bladed items from 22nd April

    I use them frequently. As a regular eBay seller, I send approx 4 or 5 parcels a month, and there is almost a 100% delivery rate. I have perhaps had 2 or 3 go missing over the last 7 years as an active seller. I also use Parcel Force occasionally of very large or very heavy stuff, and sometimes...

    This could be interesting ...

    Yes very interesting. I just looked up my local Waterstones and I can get it for 12.99. I would much rather support them than greedy Amazon!

    Old school plumbing

    Something exciting this way comes

    That's excellent news. Yes I hope it works out for you as well. TBH - I have been wondering for a long time since I retired from my desk job a few years ago, if I could/should make some items - eg small simple boxes/crates for local charity shops. But I have always been afraid of even going in...

    hearing

    I have only just noticed this conversation about HAs. I got Menieres disease back in the mid-1980s (this affects the hearing cells and also causes vertigo & sickness) and as a result I lost a lot of my hearing in my right ear. My left ear hearing was still quite good though so I didn't get a...
