Was it on a minor4?

How did you guess!!!!?

190/240 - do you by any chance know what size nozzle it should be? I can't read the old one (which I put in!)

Forget the Riello fan puller - just get one of those long reach micro bearing pullers and it will pull off motor bearings too. Alternatively a winscreeen wiper puller will take off Riello fans.

How about putting this thread as a sticky as the question keeps coming up?

Just reading this thread with interest as I'm about to join the ranks of you greasy oil engineers. (well at the end of the month I am).

Noticed Croppie (where's he gone) mentioned a solenoid tester. Looked it up. Looks like a standard 'volt stick'.

Is it? Ta for any help. Danny.

seems there might be a difference. Interested to hear views. Sadly may be only croppie who has one, and he no longer seems to come on here.

Solenoid tester = screwdriver

This is a rough and ready test to see if it magnestizes against your screwdriver. (There's a proper voltage test too but I'm afraid I can't be bothered to go out to the van and look the values up in my book.)

What after you made my wife leave me.....go and look them up now.

Doesn't matter, rough and ready suits me. I'm looking forward to the course, hoping I'll learn a bit.

I've seviced and installed in the past (got an Oftec guy to commision always). I think its time I registered despite it not being mandatory at the moment. Not cheap though.
