Hi all,
OK, now I've got replacing wheel bearings down to a fine art( ;) ) I'm thinking about buying a pressure washer. I'd want to use it for both the bike and the van.
Anyone got any recommendations?
What to avoid?
I wish I'd known X before buying one ...?
What have you got, is it any good?

cheers all,
axa

I've had a karcher petrol driven on a trolley type for over 10 years now, think its model 588. Never let me down and handy as you can take it with you if your goin to a practice track. You can leave the sh*t elsewhere, keep her indoors happy :lol:

My Karcher went wrong the other day. Well the detergent thing stopped working. I took it back to halfords and swapped it for another one..Less powerful but hey ho...you don't need nothing special for blasting off the bikes
