They lie through their teeth about known problems. When I worked for Karcher years ago the favourite phrase from the factory was "ve do not haff dis problem here in Germany". They would even lie to their UK branch. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

A few weeks later Watchdog got hold of the story and a couple of letters later, PB reimbursed me for the new PCB and wiring loom I'd had fitted. |

Maxie, was forever slagging Poxy Batterton for their poor pcbs with known problems that could be eradicated. I think he said they don't care as they make so much money from needlessly replacing them. |
