Manual on its way Geoff

Ian Send me your email address and I'll forward you a copy of the manual Geoff

Stuart Just taken mine down to Dave Thomas at Braunston for a re - bottom, best quote I had ! Geoff

Great bit of kit but don't think it would fit mine. (Auction over !! ) Cheers anyway

Yamanx Sounds like a gizmo that I could use if you want rid and no other takers. Can you post an photo please Cheers Geoff

If you've got nothing else and the itching is driving you mad put some toothpaste on the bite - if it doesn't stop the itching (works wonders for me) it'll give you a lovely shine!! Geoff

I'm sure the diesel gauge works differently - sorry can't remember how it fitted Geoff

The Company Dor is on about is MSC Products 0121 354 5552 77 Braemar Road Sutton Coldfield B73 6LZ I bought one of their water gauges, very good and easy to fit, just need to break into the pipe from the tank and get 12volts from somewhere, although with the water tank, the outlet has to be above the sensor in order to get an accurate reading. Give them a ring and ask for an information leaflet. (Im sure they do Diesel gauges as well) Geoff

If you do your shopping at Tesco's did you know their "Clubcard" vouchers can be used towards narrowboat holidays via the www.drifters.co.uk/ website. Bonus is they are worth 4 times the face value. If you're not too impatient save up for a year or so, we had 2 holidays with over £500 off each. Anyone know any Hull Blackers that accept them ???? !! Geoff

Mark Got the whole series on 2 DVDs. Send me a PM and I'll do you a copy Geoff

Jerry I think I've got what your after Sent you a pm Geoff

Had exactly the same with my SR2, fine until it had been working for a bit then cut out when pulled back to idle. Notched up the idle speed just a fraction and problem solved Geoff

Just found this site - all about the series including links to the suppliers used http://www.i2itelevision.com/narrowboat/ Geoff

Pub at the top of Hatton is The Waterman. I agree the North Stratford is the more scenic route, but would put at least another 25 locks and a few miles into the journey. 15 locks or so to Salford Jc via Grand Union about 40 via Kings Norton Geoff

Adam Have been up and down Hatton a few times. With the wind behind you, a willing crew and the majority of the locks set the right way (!) you can do them in just over 2 1/2 hours. (Our experience). Don't forget there are another couple of locks at The Cape Personally would not go past Catherine de Barnes, set off early (before the little angels get up) and you should have a clear run. Sorry can't remember definitely if there are safe moorings at Camp Hill but I don't think so Geoff

Mark Have a lok at http://www.cookersgalore.com/ go for the spares link. Scroll down and theres a Paloma section. Dont think they do mail order on spares though but may be worth a shot Geoff

Alan We just bought a high gain aerial from B&Q, and mounted it on a stainless steel tube about 4 ft high. Reception has never been so good. Pity about the programmes ! Geoff

Have a look at http://www.dek-tec.co.uk/ Geoff

Works fine with Netscape Geoff

Brian You may remember last when you posted about the oil drain and I sent you a PM as I am moored at Knowle and have a similar setup. I never heard back from you. I also had the same problem but a bigger pulley, a 70 amp alternator and a Sterling battery management system (+2 110 amp leisure batts) increased power no end. I managed to get a larger pulley put on the front of the crank (just) and a sort of "Fred Carno" mounting for the alternator, looks odd but it works. As the offer was there before - if you want a look your welcome Geoff

We managed it a couple of years ago. Didn't get the Black Prince boat before 2pm, threw eveything on ( to be sorted en route) and told one of the staff which way we were going. He was very good and got us away before 3 and got through the tunnel OK Geoff
