Rob M, that is a very good question. Despite having Gold Membership, because they came out and diagnosed they said they wouldn't come and fix the problem as they didn't have the resources. I have been 'in negotiation' with them for the past three weeks. Now they have agreed to do the work but only if I can get to Uxbridge. Rant over. I just hope someone can help me out and tow me to Uxbridge.

Thanks Junior that seems to the best option. No, I haven't heard of Ralph kits. I have River Canal Rescue membership and they will fix if I can get a tow to Uxbridge.....

Lexicon, asap really but if someone was planning to pass through in a couple of weeks I wouldn't pass up the offer?

Kris, Thanks for the recommendation, sadly, I'm not on Facebook. Best wishes, Donna

Hello, I need a tow to Uxbridge or towards Uxbridge. I am currently in London, E5 (close to Springfield park). My boat engine is broken and I need to get to Uxbridge for it to be repaired. No engineers want to come into London, understandably. I'm well and truly stuck. Is there a kind soul who is heading in that direction any time soon that would be willing to give me a tow? I have a 48' narrowboat. Many thanks in advance. Donna.

Lister engineer/mechanic/expert needed
Woofster replied to Woofster's topic in Boat Building & Maintenance
This is really helpful info Bizzard. I was under the impression the engineer would have done that when he replaced the impeller, but it is definitely worth me having a go. RWLP, actually it's not raw water, I fill it from a header tank which I am told is a unique design for listers i.e. this seems to be an anomaly as engineers all claim to have never seen another like it. -

Thanks for your suggestions. Impeller has already been replaced. The annoying thing is the jabsco pump was also replaced a couple of years ago but now RCR have told me it was probably faulty at time of installation...grrrr... As the engine is overheating and the pipework not circulating water sufficiently, I can't move the boat. A reliable, experienced mobile engineer is what I am searching for. Thanks Larkshall, I am going to look into agricultural mobile engineers -

The engine is a SW2 1976 I believe. -
My Lister 2 cylinder wc engine has been diagnosed as having a faulty water pump as well as requires new hosing for the cooling system (header tank filled). I am having real problems getting an engineer to come out to do the work. Can anyone recommend an engineer that is happy to work in London. I am moored in E5, close to Springfield Park. Many thanks in advance.
