Well, it either just falls out of it's own accord (due to length and weight) - or women are constantly trying to get it out!

Anyway - just taken a look at my R-1's - they're in perfect working order: nothing at all loose on them, holding vac nicely, no leaks, springs nice and strong and valve thingy is positioning itself correctly on open/close.

One thing I did notice is that the brass valve thingy on mine doesn't look the same as yours in the pic musty: mine is flat and doesn't have that 'nipple' thingy like yours does above. I got some of the first that came into the country so mine may be of an earlier version ... main thing is they're spot on.

yes the main thing is that there spot on but keep a eye on them when your not to busy whiping it out

Anyone else on here with R-1's? IIRC Dippy, tdiquattro and Nige_RS4 have got them ... any of you chaps whipped them out and inspected them for defects???

I'm married with 2 kids so my whipping it out days are gone.

But I'll get around to looking at the DVs one of these days.
I got no answer from APR to my e-mail. I'll try again at some point.

its funny e mail with the heading Large order, and say you want to purchase 100... see how fast they come back.

Some feedback from APR UK.

They suggest they had a small number that were affected by a manufacturing defect.

These will be replaced FOC with the current modified DV`s.

Not ideal, however APR have put their hands up and acknowledged the fault. The modified R1`s are performing reliably.

If I supplied them and they are faulty give me a ring and I will arrange to replace them.
