Any one know what would cause this.
I don't want to rewire it only for it to happen again.
Thanks guys.

My guess would be a faulty thermal cut out switch that's letting the machine run on full power longer than the designed duty cycle. As a result, the end of the coils windings are cooking the pvc coated cables.
easy enough to rewire using crimped conectors and push on lugs providing you can part the existing cables and renew one at a time so you don't get them mixed up
You can get heatshrink with solder in the middle which might be a good option for attaching new wires.
Oooo, what's that then? How does that work? Not heard of this.....
You thread the heatshrink on the same way you normally would and start applying heat in the center first where there is some solder and as that starts to melt, move heat around to include each end of the tube, seems to be a really efficient way of doing connections.
Not had an opportunity to use it myself yet, but saw it somewhere and thought it looked really good.
They sell them on Amazon.co.uk
red crimps are up to 1.0mm cable blue 2.5mm and yellow 6.0mm. if they are a bit slack on fitting just double the cable end over and shove it inPerfect thanks. I did think that myself but wasn't 100% sure the red, yellow or blue crimps would be suitable.
Does anyone know if the thermal cut out has a special name as I can't find it.
I'm searching for "Clarke 160t cutout switch"
No joy looking for that

Looks like I may be collecting it after all on Monday - fingers crossed
