Free: Vintage fan - not working (Wivenhoe CO7) Expired I bought this vintage old fan a long time ago as an object d’art but it’s just grown webs and discolouration without a proper place to display it. It DOESNT WORK as I believe the motor is burnt out and it has recently been dropped which broke off part of the directional mechanism. Its mains cable was cut off but everything else is original. So, does anyone want it before I bin it?

Free: Hotpoint 8kg Tumble Dryer - Faulty (Wivenhoe CO7) Gifted We have this Hotpoint 8kg Condensing Tumble Dryer to give away. It has been in the garage since COVID unused and has just developed the classic dryer ‘scream’ after being switch on for a couple of minutes - probably due to tension wheel, bearings or drive belt. Either way it is a straight forward fix for someone who knows what they’re doing and should cost less than around £40 parts plus labour to repair. We have no need of it now and need the space.
