Free: Moulinex food processor. Needs attention (Fareham PO15) Moulinex Masterchef 350 food processor with accessories. It's been unused on a shelf in the garage for many years, and didn't work when I tried it today. The problem is almost certainly that the lid won't engage fully with the safety interlock switch. Anyone who likes tinkering will enjoy taking it apart and freeing that switch, and then I am sure it will still have many years of life ahead of it.

Request: Polycarbonate conservatory roof panel (Fareham PO15) Expired This is a long shot but no harm in asking..... One panel of my conservatory roof has been damaged and needs replacing. It is 16mm thick, bronze on the outside, opal on the inside. This was a popular colour combination 25 years ago but is no longer made. Might there be someone who is dismantling or upgrading an old conservatory and is throwing out a panel of this colour? Or if anyone can suggest a contact where I might find one that would be a help. Thanks in advance.
