I bought the next one down today.. £46 :)
Should run the snow foam lance just perfect.
-
Good find that.
Might be time to replace mine as it is over 12 years young.
-
Mine seems feeble and doesn't lift any dirt but it's quite old
are they supposed to pulse?

Mine water jet spins in a circle to remove alot of dirt apparently. (instead of being a flat jet) Its quite old now to. Its a karcher but i must admit it does remove alot of dirt. I dont know if it is because of the spinny thing though! :signLOL: :happy2:

That sounds to me like your using the patio cleaning attachment!
Hope you all have fun with your new foam lances you cant beat them this time of year for getting all the salt off plus they make you smile when your car looks like its covered in shaving foam and the look on your neighbours face is priceless :laugh:
-
Good shout Keith :happy2: I've got the k2 which is half the size and doesn't seem strong enough when attached to my snow foam lance, May stop in at my local B+Q in the morning :xmaspresent:
-

No it is a special feature of the gun apparently mate. :happy2:
-
My local B&Q (Reading) is out of stock :sad1: Not re-stocking tomorrow either as apparently the item is now discountinued as it is being replaced by the K4.99M.
-
Farnborough says some stock Dom but then again so does Reading on their website.
Might be worth a call. :smiley:
-
Yeah, going back to Reading in morning as I am passing through - never know they might have replenished the shelves :party:
-

Might be worth a punt.

-
Just got mine from my local B+Q :jumpmove: :xmaspresent: There was only 2 left :signLOL:
-
Went to B&Q superstore in Warrington and they were out of stock, went to smaller B&Q (Milner St) and only one box left , marked "display box"
asked if there were available to be told "im just going home, you'll have to go to customer services and ask for one of the seasonal staff" - well thank you for your enthusiasm and for going the extra mile :congrats:
i carried the display box to the tills, this girl was at least trying to be helpfull but after speaking to her boss advised me they could not sell me the display model as it was electrical :stupid: its not like its being used and abused sitting on a shelf.
anyone want me to give them some £££'s ? B&Q dont seem to want it :signLOL:
Rant over

I was checking stock at my local store. The stock is low.
However it also said this:
15% off everything is only valid on purchases made only in B&Q stores between (selected dates: 7th - 25th January 2010). The voucher cannot be redeemed on www.diy.com or nextday.diy.com. The offer excludes purchases of Giftcard. This voucher cannot be used in conjunction with any other voucher, Trade discount card, Privilege Card, Diamond Card, Tradepoint, servicing, repair delivery or installation of goods or in concessions or with B&Q staff discount card. The discount excludes store mark down items.
So should I risk waiting until the 7th to get 15% off as well or should I go for it now?!

Ifti,
When I went in to buy one, they had none left. However I was able to order one and pay for it there and then for the 50% off price PLUS the 15% discount. I still haven't received it though and that was on Dec 29th. I expect they'll call me this week to tell me it's ready for collection.

i went to buy one, to be told its not in the sale :chicken:
full price thankyou please if i wanted it, and the fella wouldnt budge on the fact that its supposed to be half price..insisted that its the K5 only with a saving of £100. i argued some more, to which the next member of staff told me it was a web only deal if it existed at all, to which i said ok i'll buy it online and come back and collect it
nope, website says out of stock....
fcuk it...i'm going back to sponges :mad:
cornish people sometimes :fighting:
i clearly wont be getting one :sad1:
-
are they supposed to pulse?
Ours sometimes pulses when there isn't enough water pressure coming through... it only lasts a couple of seconds though :confused:
For those of you that have bought a shiny new pressure washer and have asked about foam lances and snow foam, we do both...
http://www.autoperfection.com/shop/Autoperfection-Snow-Foam-Lance-Various-Fitments.html (http://www.autoperfection.com/shop/Autoperfection-Snow-Foam-Lance-Various-Fitments.html)
We've got our own snow foam now, which is pH neutral and doesn't strip any wax or sealant already on the car - we don't have it on the shop just yet as we're just in the process of taking photo's (which has been halted because our label printer has broken :sad1:) so there's no link available yet.
We've previously run a group buy for the forum which was a foam lance and 1 litre of snow foam for £44.95 including delivery. If people are interested, we'll happily run the group buy again... we would need a minimum of 6 people to run it though.
Let us know :happy2:
Taryn and Jim :smiley:
-
I'd deffo be interested! :happy2:
-
And me :smiley:
-
Got mine from Tesco which isn't too bad.
Mind you I would have preferred going for the B&Q one as it seems to be better value especially with the added 15% off.
-
So my pulsing means it's fubar'd then? As my water pressures fine

We only need 3 more for the deal. :happy2:

Maybe but i need to but a karcher first and i missed the B&Q deal :ashamed:.
-
We've posted up a thread about the Group Buy to see if we can get up to the six needed.
Also, RobH - we may be able to sort you out with a Karcher as well if you're interested. Let us know what sort of thing you have in mind and what budget you're looking at and we can try to get something sorted out :happy2:
All the best
