  1. So in my modern vetus 4.17 I could put the same diesel in that’s in my car
  2. No they stopped selling to public only tanks
  3. So with the extortionate diesel prices, what difference would it make to put ordinary white diesel in the boat, especially when grindley brook can sell at £1.40

    Cobalt blue

    Where abouts is this matty
  5. Does anyone have cobalt blue, ral 5013, on their boat. If so could you please post a photo, I would like to see what the colour looks like
  6. Hi Alan, my conclusion to all this after extensive searching, is the tin I have will be craftmaster `normal` range as it was bought off the shelf. I hadn`t realised they did a masons range, I will be pursuing this line. Thankyou to all that contributed
  7. I’m not sure there will be a number on as it was mixed by Supertune automotive, they aren’t mixing anymore
  8. I’ll have a closer look next week when I’m onboard 👍
  9. So there must be other midnight blue paint jobs with masonsP type I would like to hear from anyone who’s changed from masons, what did you use, what shade did you find to be a very close match. I’ve been looking down the epifanes and hmg routes, not too happy with craftmaster as it has too much of a purple hew
  10. A little assistance required ??!! So when I`m touching up, which seems to be more regularly than I`d wish, I use low tack frogtape, I used to think was the one to use. But I still get a slight bleed and never seem to achieve that go to sharp straight line. The other matter happens when I peel the tape off and it pulls paint off with it, so a small job always turns out bigger than expected. What am I doing wrong?
  11. The numbers on our gas oven control knob are wearing out, I am struggling to find a replacement. So I wondered if anyone on here has a similar model if you could post a photo of your oven knob. The spacing as far as I can make out between 3,6 is quite a big gap. I will have a go at repainting the numbers on
  12. How can this speed test be so different
  13. Thankyou to everyone who contributed to this thread I found it very helpful. To the degree that I now have my Poynting ( the new 5g one) Huawei router and 3 unlimited sim, great last night had mega signal, what’s happened tonight, can’t seem to get anything to load despite showing 4clicks on the router. I must say the weather is pants tonight, any suggestions , I forgot to say we’re in the same place only 2/3 boatlengths different
  14. This may sound silly to some tech geeks but if I’m watching telly most evenings and possibly either catch up or you tube, would 80 gb be enough I like this option
  15. That sounds quite flexible, and as we’re not livaboards, we won’t need it all the time
  16. I’m thinking of upgrading my current tv situation, presently using a intellian freesat but we need better phone signal. So I have bought a Poynting antenna and I’m wondering what you folks have found to be the best deal in the way of router and data sim, I’m thinking about unlimited as we will use it for tv, interested to hear views

    Caterpillar

    Seen just outside Whitchurch in Shropshire
  18. Found this little fella thumbing a lift this morning, can anyone identify it 😍
  19. Narrowboat toilets don’t flush into the canal, even though in some places it might seem so, they go into a tank, to be emptied at specific points 🤣😜🥴
  20. After reading an article in the waterways world about putting Ariel bio tabs into the loo to kill smells, article states it works and nothing wrong with the practice. Anybody have any experience of this, what thoughts?? I wouldn’t be too sure, the thought comes to mind about it not being from the body, going through the loo system
  21. On this subject of paint : does anyone have a replacement idea for the black satin gunwhale paint that used to be Andy Russel or 3p
  22. Firstly I would like to wish everyone a safe and Happy Christmas, So I was thinking of treating le boat to a battery monitor, and am thinking about the nasa marine BM2, but on looking through t`internet I can see there are cheaper models. Now I know about you get what you pay for !!! but does anybody have any good/bad experiences with anything of this nature, and which one would be of most help. Many thanks in advance
  23. Calling those of you out there with an intellian tv system on board, I have seen a few narrowboats with these domes on board. What I need to know is where or who is out there that can service/set the damn thing up properly Any help appreciated
