Can you believe though I had to go all the way to Australia to get a custom made part that the suppliers here do not stock and Genesis won't send or acknowledge my existence.

Fingers crossed...Gene Repair....

Thaks to Serge over at coffeesnobs, I shall hopefully be in posession of a new drive motor cog (Small plastic thing) and I can finally get the Gene up and running again. Will post pics of the repair in due course....

Wow, I tried that and it didn't work
You must have more or less built a new Gene from replacement parts now mate! Heh, bit of moonlighting, Gene repairs for the antipodeans
This week I are feeling sleepy!

I only acknowlegde your existence because I feel sorry for you!
I think I am actually sick of repairing Genes. If a Gene breaks it should go to one place, and one place only...the Bin!
OK a bit harsh, but it does get everso a little tiresomes!

And yet you apparently stick with it. Is this just masochism or do you secretly love it?
