    Thanks folks, it is a little stressful time and our thoughts at the moment are very much doom and gloom. We are hoping the fix is easy and relatively painless, but the worst scenario does not bear thinking about! Will keep you posted on events. Hopefully back on the water soon ( Please!!) sad.pngfrusty.gif

  7. BMC 1.5 glow plugs

    Thanks Alan, that link helps a lot.

     

    (now I know this next bit is not too technical - apologies in advance!)

     

    It looks like the 1.5 is the correct one as it appears to have a thinner end bit than the 1.8 plug :lol: - sorry.

     

    We are not desparate, Talpidae is not going anywhere for the next few days!

     

    And the ebay link - brilliant - thanks.

    Good morning people. :lol:

     

    Moley has set me a task today. to seek out some new glow plugs. Now easier said than done!

     

    (He's gone to work all stressed hoping they will let him have some time off to meet the surveyor.)

     

     

    I have a box from a spare we had but am having trouble finding ones the same. ( UGP23)

     

    You need to know too much information on line about your car model etc!

    Can you good people inform me of some various codes for the different manufacturers , or even links if you have them.

     

    Save me sitting here all morning, I can then do some ironing ........ but on second thoughts!! :lol:

     

     

    Thank you all in anticipation. xxx

  10. Talpidae: problems,

    in Boat Building & Maintenance

    The suggestions in the various posts above are that things may not be as bad as they seem.

     

    Although easy for us to say and not so easy for you to do but if the surveyor is coming on Monday please don't grind yourself into the ground unnecessarily before then.

     

    If you can't enjoy the boat this weekend, why not take your mind off it a go out in that new car whilst the weather is nice?

     

     

    :lol: Thank you xxx

    Thank you Allan.

     

    We wait for survey and results, its obvious we have some major problems, we now need to know the extent of them.

     

    There were 4 anodes on boat at each corner - which do not really appear on Adrians pics.

    They were still not too bad and were going to be probably left on and the 4 new shiny ones we had already bought added also- obviously this was before the hull was pressure washed and revealed our problems!

     

    We are also attempting to get quotes for replating so we know where we are possibly aiming costs wise.

    Anyyone who has suggestions/recommendations on welders in our area ( Kidderminster) apprieciated.

     

     

    I really should not have changed my car yesterday, all very bad timing.

    This is relayed from Moley. He is at dry dock now ( Stourbridge) and has just phoned. This is the latest.

     

     

    The main concern seems to be there is little baseplate showing at the chines.

     

    And if she's going to split it will be at corners.

     

     

    Hull surveyor coming Monday!!

     

     

    Thanks for the posts folks, to say we are worried and feeling rather sick at the moment is slight understatement.

     

    Not what we were expecting this weekend. :lol:

    No doubt Moley will be back on line once he is back.

  17. Ironing Board on Board

    in Living Afloat

    Posted

    I have to confess that, while I'm quite capable with most power tools and household appliances, irons are still a mystery. I can work a washing machine, and a tumble dryer, even old-fashioned things like clothes pegs, but not an iron.

     

    And aren't self-cleaning toilets wonderful?

    So so sorry, now I feel dreadful!! :(

     

     

    Trust me!

     

     

    I'm sure your new fridge will be the new improved super dooper model , and will love you for ever for releasing it from its lonely existence from its uncomfortable plain box in the warehouse

    :unsure:

     

     

     

    ( have I got away with it ) :closedeyes:

    Hey folks, back to the subject of fridges.

     

    There's a small 12v shoreline fridge up for bids on e bay ( sorry I'm no good at creating links - but I'm sure you excellent folks will find or help)

     

    Starting price £75 , virtually new, located Wiltshire.

     

    Sadly too small for us.
