Hey, bought a parts washer last year, went for bench top one was around £50 from machine mart. Seemed fine and to do the job well, can clean most stuff up well with it:cool:
is the one you bought big enough to wash a head in?
Not your head Mark,your hat won,t fit in it:laugh:
Think cylinder head just about fits in from memory, either that or tilt it up one side then the other ;)
I used to use an old dishwasher.....worked a treat.....!
yea Ive got one of them and you can get a 5 head in there easily. even had a jag straight six head in it, although it hangs over the edge a bit it still does the trick.Quote:

No, change mine about once every 6 months but thats in the garage, for normal use it should last a year. I have 30l in mine although it would hold more. Under 25l the pump wont be submersed enough to pick up the fluid. the filter doesn't need much attention, just give it a rinse if the flow starts to slow down. Can get the fluid from the warehouse if you get it. Great tool though you,ll be well happy with it http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/happy/happy0005.gifQuote:
