I sent one of the solenoids back to the supplier and it was confirmed failed but to be honest I didn't get any more information.
-
It stops working! Pushing the button nothing happens. It tends to fail gradually, becoming intermittent then more often, then finally stops working
-
Many thanks for the valuable advice. Much appreciated. David.
-
Yes it looks like that. Not sure why this is a problem after 50 years with no issues.
-
Stand alone. Thanks.
-
The solenoid on my 1973 HR2 keeps failing and has to be replaced. It's been suggested I need to get one with a bigger rating. Any suggestions please? Thanks. David
-
My Lister HR2 about the same unless working hard eg on a river. Our 500 tonner's 240 hp 8 cylinder Kelvin uses about 25 litres an hour.

Anyone looking for a big salary won't be seeking a job in the charitable sector! CRT is by any standards a major infrastructure company with huge risk and responsibility - the CEO salary doesn't match what a similar post holder outside the sector would expect. The right to navigate was lost in 1968.

That is sad news. Bob worked tirelessly for the museum and was very respected.

Thanks sorry was going on verbal info. We did obtain from Kuranda. Maybe an idea to try them. Much appreciated thanks.

Thanks!

Can anyone suggest a service engineer for a Kabola Old Dutch stove in the Goole area? Thanks David.

It is indeed - has been smartened up a bit since then!
-
yes we know them as we buy parts from them. Good idea. Thanks.
-
Not stuck - just curious! Thanks.
-
At least six around Goole!

A number of inland waterway barges have them - eg the Harker built tankers - popular in the 1960s. Several still operating today!
-
Does the T8 have a cold start and if so where is it? Thanks.
-
Good point. When barging I've got in at first of flood, loaded with a 7ft draft but probably not dead low water and nobody would want to go out then only to have to punch the flood. So maybe a theoretical thing.

What is the depth of Eastham lock at low water springs? I had it in my mind that Eastham is ( maybe was) the deepest lock in England.

Richard Parry to stand down in the summer

Surely the point of the Friends scheme was to raise funds, which often would be enhanced by Gift Aid. I guess they could have fiddled it a bit by reducing the licence fee by £20 in return for a donation for membership of the same amount and then claimed Gift Aid on that. But HMRC might not have approved! Plus the extra raised might have been less than £100k assuming not all licence holders pay tax. -

Richard was doing this in his own time and at his own expense. I had the pleasure of his company boating with me several times. Whether his successor will have little or no personal interest in waterways andboating, like Robin Evans, remains to be seen.
