Hoover

"Aggggghhhhh the hinge on the washing machine door has just broken " was the call from my good lady. "Don't panic" I replied as parts carry a 5 year warranty. They do BUT (I hate it when there's a but) the parts must to be installed by a recognised engineer and here's the deal .... you pay for the engineer. (which is from £60 upwards I believe, and you have to wait on a time that suits them) I don't think so.
My good lady called a place that sell genuine Hoover parts and they had a hinge to suit the model, price:£10. Went and collected the part, unscrewed six screws and removed the broken hinge, attached the new hinge replaced the screws and hey presto it's ready to go. Total time around eight minutes... and I only charged her £20
