Jet wash now working again

Exact replacement for the part I needed to fix a leaking jet washer. Fairly straightforward to fit and saved me the cost of a complete new washer. Fast delivery too.

Excellent product and service

My Karcher K3 was leaking badly and had significant loss of power. Dismantling showed a blown gasket. Found an exact replacement for whole head unit here, and impressed to find supplied with all connecting O rings and pre-greased. Facility to check compatibility against exact product no added confidence. Ransoms seem to be an excellent company for those of us keen to fix rather than throw away! Don't forget to add lubricant to your order if you make the schoolboy error of opening piston case horizontally and spilling existing piston case lubricant!

Karcher back to life

I had low pressure on my Karcher washer and leak. This unit brought it back to new. It is the part that generates the pressure so will be worn over time. I'd say my pressure washer is about 5 years old, but should do another 5 years now. Easy to fit, and genuine part. Great service fro, ransomespares. Thanks

Good advice on the right part

I contacted Ransomes to check the right part for my Karcher pressure washer. They were very helpful and quickly confirmed the replacement cylinder head. It arrived in reasonable time and is now fitted, and has fixed the leak. It was reasonably easy to fit - take off all the bodywork and then undo the 4 bolts holding on the cylinder head and its metal retaining strap. NB. Do this last step with the assembly vertical, motor down, as the "gear box" contains oil and lifting the cylinder head off vertically upwards keeps the oil in place.

How long will it last

This plastic cylinder head was purchased to replace an original Karcher one that failed. I'm not a heavy user of pressure washers but it makes you think how long these parts last. At least Karcher make their products easy to dismantle. Thankfully Ransoms are on hand with stock. They delivered it within the week and the website is easy to navigate. Even the exploded diagrams make it easy to reassemble when you wonder where a certain part goes.

Saved me a whole lot of money!

I have a Karcher K2 FC which has leaked for as long as I can remember. This is no surprise. However, I've recently started using the pressure washer a lot more and so I decided to resolve the issue. I disassembled and diagnosed the problem as a damaged cylinder head (one of the cylinder walls was severely scored and there were loose plastic shavings). For an OEM job it transpired that I'd have to visit a service centre and, I assumed, pay a good amount to fix what was a pretty cheap machine. Not happening. Then in stepped ransomspares! On the off-chance I checked for 3rd party supply of parts and found myself here. £20-odd later I had a new part with all seals included and no more leaks - get in!

Saved the K2 from the scrapheap

My neighbour's K2 was leaking heavily and on investigation I found that it was from one of the cylinders. Finding the right spare part was quite difficult and the Ransom Spares website was the only one I could find which provided enough details to ensure the right fit and they even sent additional photos at my request to make sure. If you are comfortable repairing electrical items then you will probably find replacing the cylinder head easy. However... Beware that the three retaining bolts also hold the thr*st guidance plate which will spring out releasing oil unless you hold/clamp it in place while swapping the cylinder head. The part was delivered as stated within a few days and well packaged. The old K2 worked fine after replacing the head and my neighbour is very happy.
