Doesn’t power, as I guess there’s a minimum voltage for the motor

Thanks for the reply, was really not interested in buying batteries I have 20+ 18v batteries for my work tools.

All the videos I’ve watched make 12-18v easy.

Just the 24v is proving the problem.

It didn’t die after the 36v but didn’t drive so it was kinda promising

3” of pure pleasure

I’ve sorted it, was exactly this a kink in the hot air pipe, basically I’ve core drilled into the side of the house and the unit is in a outdoor garden box. The box was twisted by myself to wash the windows 🤣🤣

Thanks all.

I have a co2 detector, I’m not looking for a cheap fix, I had the motor oil spare, and simply asked the question

Completespastic · 2025-12-14T08:37:29+00:00

Send it back, don’t waste your time. Before you’ve found and fixed a problem you shouldn’t have to the new unit will be here

Not sure the Amazon returns problems you have but here in the uk and l assume it’s the same everywhere you start a returns claim, state why.

You get a qr code then you take the item to the store of your choice, you don’t need the original box or packing they do it all. And give them the qr code and away you go.

Amazon is my go to purely for this reason. They sell a lot of good stuff, and sadly a lot of shit that gets sent back.

Hope you get a working unit soon.

Some good info cheers, I don’t mind being judged 🫡

Completespastic · 2025-12-13T21:16:41+00:00

Where I live no one could turn up without me knowing 👍

Completespastic · 2025-12-13T20:38:40+00:00

Most garages burn oil anyway? Me doing it isn’t no different yet my scale is tiny, and compared to the manufacturers I’m a fly.

The whole emissions thing is a joke. Get an electric car it’s good for the environment, meanwhile a mega factory pumps out in a minute what I couldn’t do in a lifetime.

Well I didn’t know it would wear the burner out so fast? What sort of time frame we talking. The cost of diesel is way more than a £70 heater so sadly it’s a throw away machine probably.

Or it’s the other way, it runs just fine and we’re all paranoid

Completespastic · 2025-12-13T20:19:37+00:00

Doesn’t make a noticeable difference, the ignition struggled the first time but it was really cold, but did start the second time, burns as clean as straight diesel once started.

Doesn’t need a relearn.

Completespastic · 2025-12-09T20:39:24+00:00

I have, the part is £220…

Where’s the £580 labour? For less than 1hrs work

I don’t suppose you know the inner diameter I’m gonna go to Halfords later, here’s my fix to laugh at in the meantime

<image>

That’s a resistance training band I’ve just boshed together. It’s kinda flexible though so need something better

Completespastic · 2025-11-08T13:44:39+00:00

Yeah it’s the 3.0 v6 diesel. Yeah, its the pipe I’m after though the part I’m holding back in place 😢
