I recently had a failed Morse control unit replaced under their replacement parts cover: absolutely first class service. I have been a member for many years and will continue to be.

Good luck with that when you're stuck in the middle of "nowhere" on a wet Sunday afternoon.

Yes, and also (to a lesser extent and depending on set-up) running the central heating pump.

I have an Indesit IWDC 6125 which has a cold wash option. When using offline I put about 4 litres of hot water in the drum manually, then run it through the cold wash programme. It runs happily from a Victron 2Kw inverter, but I can't say whether it would on a 1.5 Kw.

As an aside, I know someone who (unknowingly) didn't have any anti -freeze in his engine (semi-trad) for 10 years and got away without any known issues.

Exactly what I do. I have a 180 litre tank and average 1.25 litres per hour consumption. I can usually predict within a few litres the fuel needed to fill the tank.

Ah right, I thought I'd seen it on a plan in recent years. Obviously not feasible then.

Was there not a plan to install ladders in Beeston Iron?

That depends on the generator and where it's positioned.
