 cant you find something for under £1000.      maybe when you get the experience then a better unit will be justified.

Mate I started with a £350 chinese copy. It got me going but I would recommend to others, it felt apart and lost pressure week by week.
You can pick up a honda or yanmar with interpump or cat pumps on ebay for less than a grand. I recommend a nice tidy second hand genuine that isn't going to be a problem getting seals and valves for on the pump and the right parts for the engine.

I've had a quick look on ebay and there is a used Honda diesel for £1250
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-DIESEL-ELECTRIC-START-PRESSURE-WASH-3000PSI-ON-WHEELS-CAR-WASH-/200853699144?pt=UK_Home_Garden_PowerTools_SM&hash=item2ec3d03a48
Why would you buy a second hand unit and take a punt ? You can buy a brand new unit for under £2k with the usual years warranty and a VAT receipt.

this machine is from Ireland which I would swerve as you can't take it back and kick off.
For £2400 you can get a reputable machine running diesel, 21 litres/min. The window cleaner down the road is tight when it comes to buying work kit but always has an exotic holiday !

Johnny, if you show your email address in your profile, someone might give you sound advise that they don't want to broadcast to their local competitors over the internet. ;)
