I never stop on the back road anymore, its not far to Brum and much better moorings. Stay overnight at Fazeley and do the run to the top of Farmers in a day. Used to use Cuckoo Wharf but now its cluttered with permanent moorers, can't even get to the services. Suppose you could moor near to the services for a bit of company but its a miserable place.

They narrowed the Shroppie at Barbridge too though its difficult to see why it was ever wide there, boats from Chester would not get up Audlem anyway.

Sensibly when the aqueduct on the T&M in Middlewich was rebuilt, they had the foresight to make it narrow beam only.

The world is full of no nowts today. Wet Wednesday, Thundering Thursday to come followed by flood Friday. Who asked you?

If you are of the female gender with glasses, it was. I did wave but you were peering into the rain. Oh, not a breaking wash but as the level is at maximum (wonder why?) we were on tight ropes to our permanent posts with strings and bobbed up and down for a while. Its compounded as we are close to a bridge. Apology accepted. Next time we shoot.?

Thanks for reporting, at the moment we have plenty of water. Unfortunately I must name and shame Kelpie. Yes, it was raining quite hard when you passed me moored yesterday afternoon on the branch but your stoic forward looking stance did little to excuse the excessive speed and wash. And it is not as though I was the only boat moored there at the time.

Not angry at all, If you can't discuss anything without being personal, too bad . Bye bye Children find a new creche.

I wonder why I bothered posting on here. I thought I may be able to help, seems that at every turn I am wrong. I know why my mate Sam bu**ered off now. I never suggested that with their limited knowledge the OP made their own. And to answer what current under fault conditions my cheapy alternative £4 GI would stand, at least 45 Amps. As to how long, well the mains would have tripped long before the diodes got even warm. But just ignore me and I'll stop posting then you could all continue with the inane childish clown postings instead. How utterly boring.

£56. A transformer is better but much more. I know its not CE and all that but you can make your own for £4 and it works. Its not rocket science, just diodes.

And Morrisons is the other side of the road. Rugeley is a great pedestrianised shopping center, banks, chemists, all kinds of shops.

Solid steel covers welded on, saves electricity, noise, broken props, reblacking and daft boating practices. You can then make better use of the batteries. Shame though that they will no longer capture plastic bags.

Oxley, S & W?

Ouch!!!! Tried elsewhere? Limekiln? Aquafax? Calcutt?

Anyway for what? do you have the solution?

OK try doing it in reverse then. Then you would be the only one going that way! And all the people going in your opposite direction wont have to keep turning locks then I suppose? That will slow things down a bit.

Not the heating header tank, the engine heat exchanger filler where the rad cap is should only be 1/2 full when cold

Thats not what my many examiners have said over the last 30 years! How can a permanent gap in a door or hatch be fortuitous? Its not removable, its permanent.

Then unless the laws of physics have been changed, you are simply over filling the engine and when it warms the normal expansion is forced out of the rad cap.

Measure its temperature with an infra red thermometer, over 130 s deg C on the outside is too much.

As we all use the same locks whichever way round, its a daft question mate, you get held up with boats going either way! I prefer to descend the locks at Tyrley and Audlem cos of the bywashes.

And to me, but why? Is it even possible that there is only one coil? Not had an answer yet to how many pipes connect to the calorifier

But his pump is not running so no. He would be flooded by now. Its water from the expansion tank. Is the radiator cap duff? it shouldnt run out till its pressurised by getting hot.

The calorifier should have 2 coils in, one for the central heating and heating the water connected to the header tank and another totally separate for the engine to heat the water. But it sounds as though you only have one coil with everything connected, engine coolant, central heating, expansion tank and whatever heat source runs the heating. If so its a daft system and I have never seen one like it. How many connections are on the calorifier? There should be at least six, 2 + 2 for 2 coils, cold in and hot out.

You can take any measurable gap around hatches, slides, windows etc and include them as ventilation. It all counts. Most boats are over ventilated if you work it all out.
