IGO-L (O-rings)

[Super-Shiny]

Ain't had it long and the top just falls off now with the slightest touch, looks like the two o-rings aint gripping it anymore

Anyone know where i can find some o-rings for it? dunno what size they are or anything.

Cheers

Super-Shiny, I read a suggestion of putting some dental floss under the O-ring just to tighten it up a tad

[Moggy]

Or some PTFE tape. I've suggested it for loads of other 'fixes' so you MUST have bought a roll by now

[Super-Shiny]

Thanks, will try both ideas, got both items

Super-Shiny These are the ones choose size 15mm x 1mm

They look like they'll be to thin when they arrive, but I had a couple of the original Igo's with red O-rings that were really loose, swapped them over for these & brilliant

Poundland if you have one near you sell box of mixed size o rings for taps etc. I got one a while back and they have came in handy

Will have to have a look in there

[Mev]

make sure with the poundland ones as they really need to be Nitrile O-rings or they can react with the juice apparently. I have used the ones in the link given above before and they work great.

I agree with madcats and Mev - the sealforce nitrile rings are excellent. I'm building up quite a collection of them lol.
I bought a mixed box ages ago and I've yet to find a use for any of them
At last a use for the new smiley!

+1 on those.  In fact it was dave who put me on to them a while back.

Glad you agree mate cos it was your link from the discussion on the first IGO group buy that I used . . . . handy things these bookmarks

[dave]

Glad to know that I am agreeing with myself - it doesn't always happen these days

You probably could have saved a penny and done the repair after you had flossed, two birds and all that.
