It’s some years since I owned one of these. If my memory serves me correctly the motor is on the other side with the principal drive to the cutter block? This side providing the various speed reductions for the feeds from the other end of the cutter block? If this is the case, I would check...

Do change the main stopcock but then fit a Surestop unit as mentioned earlier. Brilliant for emergency use.

Have you actually lifted that second cover and cleaned it out?

Hi Niall I have the same issue this coming summer on a property where I have no knowledge of the history of the coatings used on the ‘rough cast’ render. I was going for Sandtex, who do a Cornish Cream colour. Having used it for some patch repairs this summer, I was not really impressed, nothing...

I think a new set of brushes. Not usually expensive.

I would be tempted to put it all back together and test again before getting too technical. I suspect that you had a stuck brush and you may have cleared the issue.

This is a good place to start.

I don’t think those are your problem. If they were damage caused during use they would be on every section of the rotor. I suspect they are where the manufactures have removed material to balance the item. There is little evidence of burning on the commutator but first thing to check is the...

Ring Ball and co technical support. They are very helpful. Some compounds will take fork truck traffic.

Citric acid works a treat and is cheap.

I specify a lot of decorating. We use Caparol Amphibolin for general hard wearing paintwork and Isomat Kitchen and bathroom if we need mould resisting paint. Both from Paintshack. https://paintshack.co.uk/collections/caparol-products/products/amphibolin...

Sorry no idea. Assume a conversation with steel fabricators needed and possibly a structural engineer. How do you ever get that through building control?

And add Anti-Mould Paint Additive | VC175 Mould Killer | Owatrol Direct

Your rings are rather too small for the pole size, but apply silicone lubricant and it will make a considerable difference. Spray can from the likes of Screwfix. Avoid waxes and furniture polish as they collect the dust and make thing worse in the long term!

My wife thinks i’m mad, but, I really like windows like that and have spotted a few over the years. A shed on a back road in Shere (on the approach to the ford). The old cabinet makers shop behind the now closed Manns store in Cranleigh. If I ever get to build my new shed it will have a window...
