   on the upside got truckmount sorted out

[Joe H]

thought they ditched the payment for tech support.

Seems cheap to me to have a TM repaired, i know a company that charge 260 to do a vac on a porty and 280 for a 130psi pump.

hydramaster  fixing my tm got me right out the s**t as wouldnt be able to work without it so i shouldnt moan really but i cant help it im a man ...so my wife tells me ..

[Mike Halliday]

what did you get done for £370?

[craignozza]

SHURflo pump and pressure gauge

[Joe H]

do you mean the 12v pump to take water from clean water tank to the inlet of the tm

[craignozza]

Thats the one

[Carpet Dawg]

wow thats expensive. i'm not tm expert but that pump was fitted in my old steampro and cost about £100 if i remember rightly.

[Mike Halliday]

dawg you forgot about the new Rolex pressure gauges that H/M are not fitting, thats the other £270

[Joe H]

I bought a 12v pump as recommended by john Kelly as a good one and it was about £170
yes I could have bought a cheaper one but this one was explained as a heavy duty one and would last longer, so happy to pay.

[derek west]

i don't understand, mike and dawg are more expensive than me yet offer nothing extra. (well, not that i know of ) so why have a go at HM's prices. i certainly don't find £370 excessive for whats been done, yeah you could get it cheaper, but at the end of the day, mikes and dawgs customers could get it cheaper but choose not to cos there happy with what they offer.
i'm all for slaggin off bad customer service, slow deliveries, stroppy phone speak etc... but there prices are what keeps the company going and should be respected, especially as they offer a good fast polite efficient service. and with free advice

[Mike Halliday]

does the h/m pump come with an accumulator?,

Craig could you not direct feed the machine and just order one, might have saved a trip to sunny Cornwall

Derek I do find £370 excessive hence my joke, but I don;t know all the fact so perhaps my thoughts are unfounded

and the reason i charge more than you is I value myself higher and we work in a free economy were prices are only limited by what the customer is willing to pay

[craignozza]

Im not slagging of there prices im really happy just upset that im £370 down as anybody would be

[Colin Day]

You should've popped in for a brew, I only charge £15 for a Cornish Cream Tea.... 

[tomsy]

P'raps I should try undercutting you on cream teas, Col. 

[Jamie Lindsay]

lol how can yous not do these simple tasks on your own ?

[markpowell]

Im not slagging of there prices im really happy just upset that im £370 down as anybody would be

Its a days takings to be up and running again, keep smiling
