If it isn't general knowledge, the drive motors for Honeywell 2 and 3
port valves are identical and don't seem to have changed in the last 20

Cottage strip out.

Happy Christmas to all.

Why do TV's and washing machines fail 5 days after the extended
warranty has expired. ?.


I was given a hairdryer for my 21st birthday and it lasted 35 years.

Are you bald?
