That's a lot of oil. Is the engine the BD1005, because if it is then with the standard sump it should take 6 litres and the shallow sump 5 litres. Could it be that there is sooo much oil in there that the oil level is way above the full mark, where I assume you are looking? Rob....

Any news yet?

Any news??

Could it be something you ate??

I have moored near to dumped rubbish before now as there was nowhere else to go,only to have people accuse me of dumpping it. Stopped somewhere, where there was a lot of dog s**t about and told that I should pick up after my dog. The first one got a mouthful about jumping to conclusions. The second one did apologise when he found out that I didn't have a dog.......yet. Some people just won't give others a chance. Rob....

IMO you shouldn’t worry too much about places to stop. You will develop your own senses about what feels good and what doesn’t…….It’s all down to personal experiences. Someone told me, to never ever stop at Etruria, always a lot of trouble. I have stopped there seven or eight times and never heard as much as a raised voice. Another boater said that the top of Cholmondeston lock is a good safe mooring. Well not for us. Idiots jumping on the boat at night and the only place we have ever had anything nicked. The good thing about a boat, unlike a house, you don’t like it? You don’t have to stay. It maybe a bit of a pain but if you’re not comfortable somewhere, up anchor and away. Have fun. (I know you will). Rob….

Blimey mate, aint it finished yet?? Spend less time on here and get it finished. It's been a few days now. Rob....

NEPALM! That's the way to do it.

Greetings. The ONLY thing to remember is that I am always right and every one else is wrong. Don't know why, it's just the way it is. Rob....

Would you say still say it was a problem if they were swans?? Rob....

I use a syringe I got from the chemist, for flushing out ears.(15p) It's a tight fit in the 'ole and quite strong, so you can give it a good push. Rob.

Well that is just stupid talking like that. Surely one gets one's butler or footman to do all that? Rob....
