    That’s the type I used to replace my ancient (so old it had no FFDs) Vanette hob. I had to enlarge the worktop hole a little. The Thetford one is a bit “tinny” in comparison, but works OK. 

    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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Just over an hour ago I looked at the manual Excellence on Amazon and it was £104 just looked again and it's now showing at £139 ?. I can only assume that's something to do with their pricing algorithm.

    Thanks Bill

    So buying two to get the spare cassete would mean you had a spare top half? would you keep that for spare parts?

    Thanks for the replies everyone. Annoyingly, when I got the boat there was a new portpotti, which I promptly sold 'I won't be needing that!' I thought. That'll teach me.

     

    Interesting that no-one has any real negatives about either model/type, which is good, so I'll have to start shopping around now and see exactly what costs what.

     

    Thanks again

    Yes have kept it for spares. Both types  are available on Amazon.
