And typically I have just had a call from the guy saying a hose came off and it overheated last night so he is on his way to find out what the problem is. Looks like a no go.....

Hi mate, welcome to the club :)

Hopefully, the hose issue was caught in time and not too much of a problem.

Cheers

Well the guy is hopeless when it comes to basic stuff but academic genius so at least he had the sense to turn it off and leave it!

That's a start, lol. Mine had hose after hose go for a while, weakest link in the chain and all that. Ended up swapping the lot for Samco ;)

WTTC mate, oh the joys of GT4 ownership!!   ;D ;D
Gaffer tape is like "the force" - it has a light side, a dark side and it holds the universe together.

There's nothing that shouts "Poor Workmanship"  more than wrinkles in the gaffer tape.....
