<p>My elderly friend in Bowes Park relies a lot on her old VCR but it's stopped working. Could be terminal but I have no idea.</p>
<p>Does anyone know of someone that might be able to take a look to see if it can be fixed? </p>

<p>hi, the zip of my winterjacket is broken and the local green lanes tailor in the launderette couldn't fix it. it's a North Face jacket and apparently these are tricky. Does anyone have a recommendation of a good tailor i could try?</p>

</div> Does anyone know someone who fixes pressure washers?tag:harringayonline.com,2022-04-23:844301:Topic:14882452022-04-23T13:02:21.040Zadamvietnamhttps://harringayonline.com/profile/adamvietnam
<p>My trusty Wickes pressure washer went from working perfectly to a thin stream mid-clean today.</p>
<p>It sounds like maybe there is an issue with the pump as the noise it makes changed slightly.</p>
<p>I'm loathe to bin it if it can be fixed.</p>
<p>Any ideas anyone?</p>

<p>I have an Aprilia Mojito 125 scooter which is in need of repair. Problem is that I can't move it to a scooter garage. Can anyone recommend someone who knows about scooters and would be able to look at it to see what is needed to repair it. Or anyone who would like to buy it as a little project? I'd appreciate any hints <img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Smile.gif"/></p>
