Just saved hard to actually get the VTR back on the road (been off since September) and now all taxed, MOT'd and insured for First of March. Great.
Went to ride it Saturday after putting the washing machine on.
Go upstairs and get my bike kit. Come downstairs to find I now own a swimming pool that was once the kitchen. Water literally everywhere and pouring out from under the machine.
Bike ride cancelled as it really took me most of the day to sort the disaster with chip board furniture/cabinets you can imagine. Landlady has carpet tiles down so they get awful when 2" down under water too (OK exaggeration, but you get the drift)!!!!
Check machine over. Can't find a split hose or anything. Hated to do this (as I feel a failure not being able to fix it) but called a Zanussi approved engineer out for today.
He left me a note. Drum has huge hole nr heater unit right on the rear of the drum (now wonder I couldn't see it from on top/underneath etc).
It's a washer/dryer and needs to be as this rented place has no radiators; just immersion heater hot water cylinder and a gas fire.
Anyway, cost to repair this 480 quid machine is................................. another 193ukp (I've already paid the 52ukp call out charge don't forget).
What to do
Right pi**ed off. Good job in some respects it happened this month after the bike was all sorted or the return to service would have been stalled for some time!!!!!!
Sorry, but it just gets to me sometimes; grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
OK. Feeling-sorry-for-myself-state over..........ish
