Can you give me help, please? What ...Hello Robert,<br /><br />Can you give me help, please? What are the main differences between Erika 5 and 6? In you opinion wich one is better? Unfortunately I can only afford to buy one and don't know if I should buy the 5 or the 6...<br />If you could shed some light I'd be really appreciated. <br /><br />Thank you!

But thanks to what you've written I shall now hesitate before ever launching into taking it to bits! There's a picture of mine at: www.christopherlong.co.uk . On the other hand, any tips you might have before I launch into deep-cleaning a gunged-up Alpina would be very welcome!Christopher Longhttp://www.christopherlong.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-878968976043321842020-03-07T05:59:09.661+11:002020-03-07T05:59:09.661+11:00So glad you posted this, Robert.
