Quality British built

[The Artilleryman]

I had an intermittent shut down of the electrics, usualy when I was working around the PDU.

This was the quality British workman ship I eventually found.

Only held together by the shrink wrap around the plug.

We pay a lot of money for p*** poor workmanship like this.

Was it poor british workmanship or cheap chinese wiring assemblies

I saw a set of jump leads the other day and the insulation wasnt even stripped

Ive just remembered why I try and buy German where I can

Ive just remembered why I try and buy German where I can

Because they have better shrink wrap

Because they have better shrink wrap

Probably because they generally over engineer things and rarely take short cuts, but thats just my view. British engineering was once the pride of the world, but now its very hit and miss.

To be fair the German engineering is living on a 20 year old reputation

Here’s my British worker’s nightmare

Discovered when my lights failed and wonder why. The loom was tucked behind the rear wall and open to the elements, no protection and the kink must have been there from assembly

My work involves a fair bit of fixing wiring faults in shoddy German manufactured looms. Quality worldwide has been forced into second place by cost of production

Shame they didn’t put that into practice when I bought a 2012 T5 years ago

Let’s just say it was built to a price not a build standard

That would be Reich, the German manufacturer of those Adria fitted plumbing unions we have heard so many failures about

Mine are leak free on my Hymer. Better go and check

If you fret about that...


... don't even think about how Boeing engineers make an aircraft wiring loom fit...

A lot of it by trying to keep down to the price of Chinese "workmanshit"? Sadly its happening all over and most of us are guilty of it, item 2 is half the price and looks very similar so we're tempted. It will probably fail prematurely and we're storing up problems for our descendants, but we keep doing it.

I’ve started to see adverts on tv for Meile white goods.

Extolling the virtues of quality that lasts.
Maybe just maybe the tide is turning on cheap crap and quality goods will be bought more often.
