  1. Hi everyone, I'm coming from the Ashton onto the Rochdale and need to Moor one night in Manchester before heading get up to Mill Hills area the next day. Some people suggested the new Islington but I'm not sure if they mean visitor moorings at new Islington or staying in the marina. I can't find contact details for the marina. Can anyone clarify this for me. Where is safe to Moor for the night in Manchester if new Islington isn't an option? Thanks
  2. Thanks everyone! Looking forward to my travels through this area.
  3. Where is safe and good to Moor for the night in Stone and in or around Stoke on Trent? We are coming from south and heading onto the Macclesfield canal. Thanks
  4. Hi everyone so I was looking at the set up for the bath as the surveyor recommended fitting a non return valve. The thing that I have a question about is the point where the bath plug joins the hose which attaches to the pump. It seems the pump hose is screwed directly to the plug drainer and I'm concerned that this will mean loads of bits going in to the pump. I don't know how you would fit a trap though because the bath has no space under it. I don't know about this set up so any experience would be helpful. (Hope my description is clear enough I don't know right words for all this stuff yet!) Thanks
  5. Thanks everyone. Yes I think you're right it's going to be a similar situation to you sir nib. Think I might use it if I'm desperate and save up for a replacement!
  6. Oh okay. I've read loads of differentthings re. Back boiler systems and they seemed to split into 2 categories pump and gravity. Anyway it would be great if it could be redesigned to work without pump. Will see if I can find a plumber who can help. If not will remove boiler. I can't fit a pipe for a while but not using stove until I'm sure it's all sorted. It's mostly warm enough at the moment... luckily.
  7. Hi Every one thank so for your replies. That's helpful to know that sealant and sstrongIis best way to fit new flu collar. I don't think the crack goes all the way through into the stove but it is on the seam so I think it's a risk for leakage if not now then sometime and i will replace top plate and flu . The back boiler system goes mad if you don't put the pump on when stove hot, expansion tank overflows and lots of noise . It's not a gravity fed system and it feeds 3 radiators. Does it have to be drained down to remove back boiler?
  8. Hi I am new to narrow boats. I have just bought and moved into mine which has a squirrel morso. It is a bit rusty with worst corrosion where flu joins top of stove from water coming in from corrosion of the plate where you attach chimney . I started cleaning back rust today and have some questions: The collar has split where flu meets fire. I guess this needs replacing? There is also a thin crack on the top right hand edge of the stove at back which I have just noticed. Do I need to replace the top plate? The stove has a back boiler and there is an arm (sorry I don't know the right terminology) which leads to a hole about 1.5 inch diameter. The metal cover is not attached so you can move the arm and expose the hole. Is this normal or should it be sealed with fire cement. Sorry if these are stupid questions. I am also thinking of taking of back boiler as having pump on is annoying and stove heat would be enough with ecofan. I also want to install an instant water heater as a back up. Any thoughts on this plan also welcome. Thank you, Katherine
