. I visited the one in Cowley this morning, only to find that the previous user had not only left it in a mess, they discarded the latex gloves into the elsan (retrieved this time). I'm sure this behaviour can't help.

Could you put a picture of your lamp on here? Would be nice to see one.

Inconsiderate cycling is a bigger problem than overstayers ?
BWM replied to kris88's topic in General Boating
As a boater who willingly signed up to a set of rules and expected behaviour the relationship between you and the governing body is clear. A member of the public, cyclist or not, May never have visited the canal and as such is not necessarily aware of rules, etc. Just to clarify, I am certainly not defending thoughtless cyclists or any other badly behaved visitors to our environment. -

I don't think that these two issues are comparable, even though they both involve selfish behaviour. -
Sorry to drift slightly off topic Pete but do you know if there was any paperwork similar to the above for Hawkesbury at willow wren? Would love a copy if available to keep with history

i don't think the boat will be underpowered, one of the benefits of a smaller engine is that because it has to work a little harder you will be less likely to end up with an engine that blows out copious amounts of blue smoke, diesels are much happier when working under load.

i had the liners changed on my JP3 last year and this job definately required pullers, i don`t have any pullers myself but the work was carried out by Ralph at RK marine who is based near London.

Thanks for the info.

Yes, I have tried this valve in both positions but have noticed no change in the temperature of number two cylinder. The pump is the one you pictured above, are they easy to rebuild?
-
Due to my Jp3 never getting hot, particularly the middle cylinder, I am considering a thermostat conversion. Any advice on the wisdom of this, and where to buy the kit or components would be useful. One thing that concerns me is the water pump-it is the original piston type which seems quite happy to leak slightly most of the time, would the thermostat generate pressure in the system causing the pump to leak more?

Don't know if you have solved this problem yet, but I had a similar issue after leaving a dry dock. The cause turned out to be that a disc of rust and limescale had formed in the intake strainer, this must have dried out and detached whilst out of the water, and then the pump sucked it against the intake creating a near perfect seal. Had to break it up with a long pin.
