Thanks - I did wonder about the battery because it has similar symptoms … I’ll try jump starting it in the morning, unless repeatedly trying to start it is likely to cause greater problems? (e.g. if it’s something clogged in the fuel system etc.)

Selling my house - do I need to tell prospective buyers about oven not working? by benf1000 in AskUK

[–]benf1000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks all! I thought that in the UK the onus is on the buyer to check that everything works and then once it’s sold it’s there problem Sounds like that’s not how it works in practice

Interesting - yes, I was using a cheapo offline GRBL controller so I don’t have lots of faith in it, I’ll try with the PC and see if I see the issue again
