monty_jon Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) Not sure but I think the mother-in-law needs a rebuild, we had her round for Christmas and there was a lot of rattling coming from the top end! Anyone else had this problem? Edited December 31, 2013 by monty_jon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0007 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Ya I used to have one just like that, it was an Italian model and was the rattle was very dramatic I knew the newer version I had would end up exactly the same as it was exhibiting similar symptoms and costing me a lot of money so I got rid of both of them a few years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty_jon Posted December 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) I’d say it was more of a whine than a rattle, but can turn to high speed chatter! Edited December 31, 2013 by monty_jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0007 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Is it excessive noise from the bottom end or is it locked up? Neither one is good I sure hope it's not a leaky seal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelly1 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 locked up tight looks rusty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty_jon Posted January 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Locked up sounds good to me Unfortunately the bottom end substantial, this is a pre60 heavyweight model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffsgasgas Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 My Ex Mother in law (Italian model) always had harsh engagement which I thought caused all of the upper end noises. I went to remove a few springs and come to find out she had several screws loose in her basket!!! I also tried taking sand paper to her as well but that just made things worse. Turns out the next model (the Ex) also had the same quality problems!!! I gotta say that the initial fit and finish was not to bad but it went down hill quick. You could never get it muddy and they leaked tears like a siv. I have changed brands now and am much much happier... --Biff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
