What do you want to pay?

Is the difference worth your time?

Nah
Just spend the whole tenner & move on ffs?


Well Jim, that was one thought I had at the back of my mind, along
with another thought that I could just simply carry on running without
a backup battery as I have done for the past 10 to 15 years and save
the money for better things. :-)

Yes.

YES.

Its like the video card fan in this machine which has been dead jammed
and silent fr at least 3 years. yer man said 'refanning that would cost
as much as a new card' and although the temp monitoring software says
its getting up to 80C or more, its rated to 90C..

Now when it comes to de-coking the aga, its an hours work to save £100
and that IS worth doing. That's a week of groceries, that is.
