Hi, I've just arrived at Dover ready to board my ferry for a 3 week trip and my brakes have just started to play up - they are hard to push with very little happening. Not soft at all. Any ideas? I'm stressed as about to board ferry! :cry:

Re: Replacement fridge for Electrolux RM182

I'm in the middle of swapping my fridge for a Waeco and was wandering if there's a reason why people are putting the drawer at the bottom and mounting the waeco on the top - any reason why it can't be done the other way round?
