  1. I’m just envious of Robbie Cumming’s gauge for his SR2 on Canal Boat Diaries.
  2. At the moment I have a pressure switch connected to an LED. I'd like to fit a gauge. Can anyone detail what i need and what pressure to expect. Cheers.
  3. Does this anode need changing. Very rarely connected to shore power. Will it last another 2-3 years before the next blacking. Cheers.
  4. Thanks I just meant using Bitumen. I’ve used intertuf 16 in the past but the shiny new sheen doesn’t seem to last very long.
  5. Anyone got a preferred traditional blacking paint.
  6. The Milton liquid worked a treat. I put it in before refilling the tank so it condensed around the outlet. Next time I’ll fill half way before adding so it gets mixed in better.
  7. Unfortunately my fresh water has developed an unpleasant odour. Can anyone recommend a cleaning substance/method to sterilise it all. Thanks
  8. Did both. Thanks Tony I’ll get one.
  9. Thanks bizzard. Had a hell of a job freeing the drain plug. Only just managed to release it lord knows what I’d have done otherwise.
  10. Thanks as ever Tony. regards richard.
  11. I got this oil shown below. Can anyone advise if it’s suitable or recommend otherwise. Regards.
  12. Apparently how these detectors work is they reflect against a different substrate so bare the metal on the outside and as soon as the wave hits paint rust etc it will reflect back.
  13. Installed on of these in a small wet room which included a shower. Been using the area for 3-4 years infrequently. Decided to check underneath and to my horror found evidence of a substantial leak. After a refit it still leaked around the toilet area. Eventually found the join between the back and basin has no gasket and leaked through. See photo.
  14. I’ll opt for trying ones off Amazon for now. Keep you posted.
  15. I can imagine you get what you pay for. Getting the professionals in is £250+ so something to play with there. If I calibrate on a known then get down to the bare metal it should give me an idea if further investigations are needed. Also it’s there to use again. From my experience with surveyors they have an agenda and are reluctant to work with you and spend time on any concerns you might have.
  16. Could anyone recommend one of these for diy use. Got a 1976 hull and although I’ve had a professional survey done I would like to check out a few specific areas next time it’s out the water for blacking.
  17. Looking to replace my small multi fuel stove with a diesel stove ie. Refleks. I’m based in West Lancashire on the L&L. Does anyone have a contact to have this done please.
  18. Looking at the fuel side does anyone have the spec for the supply pipe and what kind of filter is best. Thanks.
  19. Are flexible exhausts a potential source of leaking?
  20. Thanks. What are the special features of a marine exhaust. Sorry just trying to grasp it all.
  21. Which part tends to be the problem ie joints or flexi pipe?
  22. Question: what’s the issue with using the supplied silencers.
