  1. Probably an orrible job getting down there to view things, a head torch and mirror or mirror on a stck might help. If you can pump the oil out of the drip tray you might discover a plug or something that's come out lying in the tray.
  2. I think they were choking too. Tyres would be dreadful things to chop up. You'd get so hot doing it you wouldn't want a fire.
  3. Probably Phurnacite. About half the size of say Exel

  12. I'm only on the ordinary basic state pension and don't claim any other benefits because my capitol savings are above the amount I mentioned earlier. Check on the DWP website if your getting any extra benefits like pension credit, health, housing, child, ect ect. There is an awful amount of fraud claiments out there, rich and very rich folk, pensioners and non pensioners claiming benefits just out of sheer greed, and healthy young lazy bu--ers that are not at work, the reason according to the government are clamping down on it. I don't really blame them for that, . If you are Lady G it or they will be stated on your bank statements as was, I repeat was the old winter fuel payments, they will be headed DWP like your basic state pension payments are on your bank statements.
  13. That was pre Starver govenment, I don't think it applies anymore unless you're getting any extra DWP benefits on top of the ordinary pension- Are you?
  14. DWP's website say's. If your winter fuel payment has not arrived by 29th January, contact them. But I don't think this applies anymore. Starver has changed things. But it's worth trying. Do you claim any extra DWP benefit payments other than the standard pension. if so you should get it if you apply.
  15. No, just the once, but beware of them checking on your savings! Once agreed by them it would be payed automatically into your bank account, but keep a check of your statements.
  16. As per my post. To claim extra benefits in order to get the WFA you have to check if your elegable and then apply for it.
  17. Apparently you can only get the winter fuel payment now if you claim extra benefits like pension credit ect on top of your ordinary OAP. But if you claim extra benefits to get the WFP and you have more than £11,000 in savings beware, Starver and Co have threatened to snoop on claimers bank accounts and tax interest on your savings, from this month.
  18. Rig a tarpaulin over the roof to see if it stops it.
  19. For hot water it will probably have an instant gas water heater. Although the engine can produce hot water with a lot of faff by removing the exhaust pipe lagging and coiling annealed copper tube around and around it then replacing the lagging and connecting the ends to the hot water circuit with calorifier included. It probably won't have rev counter or hour counter. It does have the Lister LH150 hydraulic gearbox though which is good. Make sure it has the extra large camshft pulley that drives the alternator, at least 10'' dia.
  20. For example. Making a large hole in the roof for a stove flue pipe. Scribe a circle with either a drawing compass or draw around a suitably sized saucer, dinner plate or whatever. Then around that circle drill loads of small holes close together, then join two or three together enough for a jigsaw blade then buzz all around until the centre falls through.
  21. Anyway. Before loading coal on especially for overnight make sure the grate is clear, give it a good raking with the poker, ''If the grate is bunged up with ash it will go out', then load your coal on, make sure its beginning to glow red before shutting down for the night. Exel burns well on the Boatman.
  22. If I want to delete a post I've written before I post it, I just press F5
  23. And make sure the rubber grommets are in place where the leak off pipes go through the slot between heads and valve covers.
  24. Lift pump is easy to remove and replace. Two nuts, it has a piston lever not a hooked lever so even easier. Just pull it out and push it in.
  25. The blue cable from the immersion heater switch that disappears through that round porthole thing looks a botch and is suspect, where does it go to and to which side of the switch is it wired, live side or switched off side ?
