Anyone know off any good mail order type deals on decent power washers just now ?? as normally happens !! the diy places seem to stop the good offers whenever I actually need to buy the thing!! also any recommendations on something for general household / car type duties, and preferably which will last for more than a year !!

cheers,

B&Q have great deals on Karcher units. DO NOT BY THE GREEN ONES B&Q SELL........ KRAP

Sort of indirectly on this subject, and to help out a bit of a dumb newbie, was washing the scoob this wekeend, only had it two weeks, and was concerned of any knock on effects of excess water, perhaps from a pressure washer entering the bonnet scoop. Would this hurt, or will it just drain away?

I think you risk bending intercooler fins, might be wrong.

Just don't direct it into the scoop and you'll be fine.
