About Me

Oh, does this mean that it is still not working? Hope it is sorted soon!
It's working - took two days of tracing hoses, checking fittings and the escape valve, which was breaking down and needed replacing.
I should really try to get a better shot of all the hoses! It's a maze under the loom!!!
cheers,
Laura
