  1. Bridge 9, Handcocks Swing Bridge is also out of action at the moment ☹️ Silly me, same bridge 🙈
  2. Sailing in tomorrow, pity the facilities at Litherland are dire even by the CRT’s low standards. Still, how often do you get to sail around the world? Have tickets for one of the semis but out before the final. Should be interesting.
  3. Have you contacted your insurer? Most have an emergency helpline for these situations.
  4. Yes the Vanette was built like a tank in comparison but in the Thetfords favour it does have a flame failure device fitted, now a BSS requirement for new fittings.
  5. Our Vanette hob gave gave up the ghost last year and I when looking for a replacement this Thetford was the nearest in size I could find https://www.midlandchandlers.co.uk/products/thetford-8-series-lpg-hob-unit-n480 I only had to make minor adjustments to the work surface to make it fit.
  6. Someone once said to me 'If they're not insulted by your first offer - it's not low enough" 😂. Let's face it apart from the kitchen and bathroom it's basically a shell... and what's that paper on the kitchen walls hiding? I think it's probably worth 28k-30k tops but as others would remark, it's worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.
  7. If the boat is Kestrel I would say the electrics looks shonky with exposed cabling going to the 240v sockets and what looks like 240v switches for the lighting. Also I'd want to deal with the finance company, not just the person who took out the loan because you want to ensure the loan is not outstanding once you purchase (sic) the boat.
  8. Some of the brokers I visited when buying (in 2016) seemed to have separated the wheat from the chaff and kept the chaff!
  9. Your insurance company may be able to advise you about this.
  10. It's probably worth noting that Apple changed the chipset in their MacBooks last year from Intel to a proprietary chip the M1 which might be good news for the OP as there'll be more secondhand supply as folks upgrade. The downside being the old chipset will be unsupported sometime earlier in the future than it might have been and newer programs may be incompatible with it.
  11. If the boat doesn't have a bubble tester is it best to get a surveyor who is GasSafe registered to do the BSS?
  12. No mention of BSC date, has it lapsed? Evidently not blacked since launch Possible signs of damage toward the bow so not really 'like new' Not negative comments merely observations
  13. Fettlers Wharf & St. Mary’s, both one or two minutes from Rufford station.
  14. If they are a limited company check their accounts and directors at Companies House https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk
