sailorbaz is an unknown quantity at this point
Default High Pressure Steam Cleaner

Evening Gents (and CSLGirl)

I've managed to get my hands on the above but it's not heating up as it should. It's been run on Red Diesel which I am guessing wouldn't have been doing any harm and it was brand new 3 years ago.

Any ideas on what it could be or anyone any links to any good forums? I tried a wee search on google there but to no avail. I hope it's not the coil, they seem to come in about £300!!

Will get her cracked open tomorrow for a good nosey about, it might be something really obvious, here's hoping anyway.

Cheers in advance,
Baz

Duncan, it is a Karcher yeah.

HDS 550C to be exact. Looks like it could be a good bit of kit and handy for the winter. Not got it opened up yet for a good nosey, the boys are bringing it up on the back of the tractor this morning for me to get cracking with it.

Will check the above though.

Bealo, I thought Karcher were the Mutts Nutts of Pressure Washers? :'( I haven't paid anything for it right enough so not jumping up and down.

Yours sound beefy enough but mine was a Halfords special lol. I'm sure you'll have it fixed soon enough

Sorry - but had to ask, anyone else tired of the Steam Cleaner thread showing up? Who's got something new to post up?
