My Vax died but the tanks are still good. Happy to split them. Pity to send them to the tip. So I hope someone wants them. Worth putting by if you have this carpet washer in case your tanks start to leak. Mine did and I bought these just before the whole machine died so they are barely used.

Free: Trolley style walker (Ashfield CA14) Expired This wheeled trolley belonged to my mother. She found it invaluable to use as a walker round the house as it meant she also had her hands free (unlike a zimmer frame) when taking things around the place such as her dinner. She also used it as a table to eat from. It can be used as a trolley for any other non disability purpose of course. I have also seen one used as a plant pot holder for hanging plants in a garden. Sadly charity shops don't want it and so it is heading to the tip. Frustrating as nothing wrong with it.
