I have a venerable Sealey PC1450 pressure washer and it's been great
for around 20 years or so. Recently it started to get a bit iffy with
the on/off switch, so today I discovered the switch had become very
graunchy and squirted some silicone oil in it. It now works very
smoothly, switches on but won't latch.
I looked into the possibilty of buying a new switch but was put off by
these robbing *******s

**** them.
Taking the serial/type and maker's number from the switch I find it's
the same unit in a number of Karchers.

Now that's more like it and I don't mind paying that.

There's a lesson for greedy parts stockists in the UK - go and get
stuffed, matey.
