Got all the stuff ready to give my new Karcher K2 it's maiden voyage and my first foray into snowfoam usage for the hose to pop off where it goes into the lance.

Straight back to halfrauds where I found they didn't have any more in so they've ordered me one.

Very frustrating!  Pressure washer malfunctions, especially when you are in the middle of, or about to commence a wash are really annoying, but even more so on a brand new machine.  :sad:  Hope the replacement comes quickly and you can soon pop your snow foaming cherry.  :laugh:

Picked up the new one and it's not stopped peeing it down since (apart from when I'm at work)!

Fingers crossed for the weekend.

Noooo, please don't..... we are supposed to be getting a heatwave next week and if peeps start detailing their cars then we will probably end up with snow instead!  :whistle:

Arrived back in the UK at 12.30 this morning and managed to have the car cleaned reasonably well by 3.00pm.
Not Rebecca clean but it will suffice for now.
Great to get back behind the wheel of a decent car after 2 weeks in a brand new Renault Clio 1.2 POS.
It honestly couldn't pull you out of bed it was that underpowered :sad:
Anyone who knows Tenerife will testify to how mountainous it is, so I spent most of my time in second gear!

Just disconnected the juvenile Soundaktor.  Not difficult once I worked out which plug it is.  Wrapped the plug in tape just in case.  Wish I'd done it ages ago, motor now sounds the way nature intended. Hope it doesn't throw up any error codes at next service.

Disconnected mine very shortly after getting the car. Incredibly annoying piece of low tech crap.
Not had mine serviced so don't know about error codes

Agreed, did they get the idea from a toy car?  Also with it disconnected you're more likely to hear unusual noises etc from the engine that would otherwise be missed.  And if you've paid extra for Dynaudio why would you want to have all that din going on in the background?  I understand on the 2016 cars you can turn it off.

I need this :drool: I can't find this on their website.  When I enter the part no. I get "no parts found", have you a link to it?  Otherwise I could go to the Audi dealership but it will probably be £150 in there.
