  1. Thank you for all you're kind replies!!!! I've called a local mobile engineer out to take a look just to be on the safe side.I'll be watching his every move and asking as many questions as poss so to learn as much and maybe start to tackle some problems myself in future. I'll also politely point out the potential problems as stated, just to give him a head start I'll inform the post with progress later
  2. Incorrect use of words...not ticking over but trying to start, making the engine starting sound. Brilliantly clever sarcastic remark! Well done you
  3. I'll try and locate the drain taps and give that a go. It's a Sole diesel mini 11, cylinder some kind of Mitsubishi make I think. I'm unsure of the filter type. I've been unable to move it from the boat yard so I'm going to ask tomorrow for someone to point me in the right direction maybe even get it services again?
  4. New to boating - We brought a 27 foot narrowboat end of last year and dry docked to do some interia work. However now back in the water we have engine trouble. The starter battery just about held out and on first start up the engine seemed to have survived the winter...within a minute or two we soon regretted the high five *head in hands as white smoke billowed out of the engust and the engine stopped and now ticks over but won't start up again. The fuel tank was almost full and the previous owner had a bottle of adative for water in the tank, so we thought we were on top of this. We've been advised it could be an airlock? The previous owner had all receipts for any work and had not long had a service done when filter and oil were changed. Any advice would be a great help and we're hoping to get a service in the next few days to get us where we need to be
