  1. Following my earlier lighthearted comments I've just happened to come across Samsungs UK phone number if it's any use. It's 03300 726 7864.
  2. It is there somewhere, I've found it myself when I had a warranty claim, just a matter of searching. Consider it training for all the hoops Samsung will have you jumping through prior to a repair being effected. A cyber tour of the world awaits you. ✨ As for a Samsung retail outlet I fear your chances of finding one very slim.
  3. Out of curiosity who built the hull?
  4. My skin tank had connections on the top so it's not that unusual. Poking about with a piece of stiff wire revealed which one had an internal pipe down to the bottom. years later I had a poke around with an illuminated endoscope (when it was full but it was so murky it was a waste of effort. As suggested elsewhere I used a Pela to empty it. This has the advantage of confirming it's capacity.
  5. When I was a child my parents swore by Woolie's paint (Mum was always the gloss painter). I well remember being sent off to get an extra pint of one colour or another. None of this 1001 shades 😎
  6. Another vote for Tooleys. If things are the same as 12 months ago Kieran worked for them and he did several jobs for me when my body gave me the same message yours is giving you.
  7. On the other hand you end up with a shed load (literally) of left over fittings, fastenings and materials. At least, I did.
  8. When my wife died I decided to buy a new 55' hull and fit it out myself from scratch. Everything, including a mutual and bolt engine rebuild. I was still working. It took me well over 5 years to get to a stage w1here it could reasonably be used for day trips and several more before it was completed (almost). Technically I was a competent amateur with a background of off-shore sailing. It's not a quick job and multiply any imagined costs by two, maybe 3.
  9. Don't you mean E93a Ford Pop? My Dad's E93a had one fitted exactly as you describe.
  10. You can also get adhesive, magnetic tape. (rather like Velcro) One pole on the bottom edge of the blind, the other pole on the side of the cabin side
  11. Cos all the leaks have been fixed !!
  12. I did, for one of them. ☹️
  13. I used work overlooking a Watneys pub. The Red Barrel was literally delivered by tanker. Says it all.
  14. Coastal marina and words like "back", "park" and "nose"............ Please .
  15. I know a number of Rival 38s were fitted with the engine. Perhaps looking to the offshore forums would help. (Updated Practical Boat Owner )
  16. How sad. Said in jest😀😀 That's what I had on my BMC 1.8 and it gave me occasional issues over the years. My fall back option was to have a suitably sized spanner (injector high pressure nut). To stop engine ,loosen nuts, let the engine stall and sort the problem out later. (worked for me)😇
  17. As was I. However, over the next year it worked out I saved after which I gave up caring 😇
  18. You're a braver man than I, Ganger Din.! I speak from experience. I bought one at the Inland Waterways Festival at Beale Park 20 ? years ago for £1400. Sold it 30 miles and some years later for about £300. Tiny wheels that fell into any size hole and as unstable as a Roundtrees jelly. A chauffeur driven Roller would have been an infinitely better idea, unfortunately it was that damned beer tent offering 20+ types of real ale that was to blame Bit difficult to hide the multi thousand £ boat moored on the bank. Sometimes you can be too risk averse
  19. We obviously had a different 12" model 'cos the rotary switch gave access to 2 channels 1=BBC and 9= ITV.
  20. They tend to be used in after market in-line fuseholders Our second TV was a 12" Bush (with a chunky rotary channel change on the righthand side). To be fair, in early days screens were measured laterally rather than diagonally.
  21. That's exactly how my dad kept our television going when, with friends and neighbours gathered around, it failed on Coronation Day. Mind you, it was the Queens coronation and the television a 9" screen Pye resplendent in a wooden cabinet. Last time I went the Imperial War Museum had one as part of a display.
  22. Assuming that the new cable is a similar length to the old one everything points to faulty re-assembley following it's 'service'
