This is a good alrounder, or if your more doestic focused then go for a 15 litre, that way you shouldn't have too much trouble with water supply

[Frankybadboy]

i did say i like a bit of change keeny 

but thanks

would it be easy enough to get spare etc if every any problems

[Frankybadboy]

I've got a diesel Lombardini 10hp with interpump 201 and gearbox that I'll be putting on a trolley when I get chance.

Just need to rub up the trolley and spray in, clean the engine up and put an unloader valve on the pump. £700.

blast you aint a sellsman

you have to tell this thick window washer a bit more.

[Blast Away]

Average machine aint it but diesel, less money spent on running it compared to petrol.

[Richy L]

Don't bother buying a machine Franky, just sub it to me! I'm only over the bridge

[BDCS]

What happens if he's concerned about overspray ? Will you need to travel over the bridge to spray it ! 

[Frankybadboy]

been recommend these guys brendon powerwashers,

been looking about and come across these machine what you guys think

thaniks for the help guys

[Matt Gibson]

OOOOOHHH you can choose your colour  

I think buying brand new from Brendon is going to be a little out of your budget Franky..

Check out eBay, lots of secondhand brendon washers on there mate, and as BlastAway says, get a diesel, cheap on fuel, easy to repair.

Honda engines are easy for parts, easy to repair. The Yanmar engines are the same, the parts are cheap, easy to fix.

For your budget, you could get a decent second hand diesel machine, 15lpm/3000psi, which will do the job you need it for nicely.

Talk to Kenny83 on here, he has some good machines for sale, secondhand, reconditioned, good stuff.

[Frankybadboy]

I use PC Jones in Keynsham to service my kit and they sell reconditioned equipment as well.

no worries matt,

i get the hint


and i thought the window cleaner where a hard bunch to crack

[Roger Oakley]

Matt you might have missed the point 

For a first job, Franky, it is not bad, it could be a lot cleaner but then I am being critical as there are still some lichen spots on the paving.
Time and practice will get you there.

i think you missed the point, the before shot was on the left, after i done it was on the right

all joking aside,it was good to do something different,but ive set this side bit up for my stepson who at 25 is finding hard to find full-time work and to make ends meet with rent,food etc,so if he can earn extra by doing a bit on top of his part time job then it keeps the wolf from the door.how far he wants to take it is up to him.

we all got to start somewhere,and life is a big learning curve

[Matt Gibson]

Roger,

I probably did miss the point due to all the rum I drank. Paying for it today.

No Franky, I was going to offer your lad a couple of days hands-on experience if he wanted, but you're about 100 miles away from me so not going to work., I know Keynsham, used to put trailers into Cadbury's (Frys) when it was there many many years ago.
