  1. Hi All Just about to set off on our first adventure on our new n/b from Ashby Canal. Is it best done clockwise or anti-clockwise. Any issues we should know about. And are the horror stories, concerning the Birmingham Canals just that........ stories. Thanks in advance all info greatly appreciated. Brum
  2. Its the same knob to control both. If it helps..... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121238788274?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 The company that make Vanette products went bust 4 years ago so spares are like hens teeth, so I am told.
  3. The regulator controls the oven and the grill on vanettes. And yes I ended up buying a new cooker.
  4. I have just had the exact same problem, its the regulator thats gone ,quoted £125.00 plus delivery for replacement.
  5. Ok thanks for all the info on Flotex, but could i ask we get back on subject Ie. But should I lay a layer of heavy duty polythene down first, I was told to use news paper but would that not retain moisture/ damp. Or is it best with hessian backed carpet to lay it direct.
  6. Hi Thanks for the replies. The carpet I am removing has no markings etc, but its a bit like thin felt. I am replacing it with a hard wearing hessen backed industrial carpet.
  7. I have decided to replace the worn/ faded carpets on my newly aquired n/b. When I started taking the old one up I found there had been no underlay used, it was laid directly onto the wooden floor. As this was a professional fit out, i was wondering if this was for a specific reason or just an oversight or cost cutting reasons. I have purchased some new special thermal underlay ready to re-carpet.But should I lay a layer of heavy duty polythene down first, I was told to use news paper but would that not retain moisture/ damp. Please can anyone advise or share their experiences.................. Many Thanks and HAPPY NEW YEAR to all.
  8. Hi All Totally confused now as I have just contacted National Coal who and I quote state.................. 'EXCEL - a clean burning, approved smokeless fuel ideal for open fires and also multi-fuel stoves.

  18. Thank you thats great. I appreciate the reply. Not sure if I am asking for the right thing. I want to produce a document which contains all the spec for the boat, ie a boat spec manual.

Regards Brum
