Been blissfully boating for 15years without a snifter of forum, I'm sure I'll live. One is very proud of their banging their head against a wall icon arnt they. This is where I sign out. Been educational.

Quite enjoyed the irony of someone rejecting the notion that they have been rude and then proceeding to launch into a passive aggressive, condescending rant. I will not apologise for my previous messages, as they were beautifully put and might help you become better people. PS I have no inclination to be enlightened on the intricacies of forum etiquette , as this brief dialogue with you has bored me to tears.

How dare you make a remark like that. What a dispicable way to speak about someone you don't know. If you readdress the thread you will see that I was mearly asking for a mechanic. some surprisingly classless people on here

How spiteful some of your remarks are. I am not always prompt in my response because I work all the time. I have recently received adequate advice on the matter and it is resolved, thank goodness. Try and be respectful to people. Clearly not a happy chappy.

Hi Richard, I'll give you a ring tomorrow...

Thank you for all the replies. I've not been online for various reasons and just picked up these threads. Some of which were really helpful such as the contact numbers (which was what I requested). Making comments such as 'banging heads' and 'being ignored' was really unhelpful and not necessary. In any event, in one thread I was asking about a tow and the other for a mechanic... Once again thanks for the contact numbers....

Should have said stuck in forward not first......

Currently moored in Saltford marina, BS31 3EZ. Need second opinion on gear box stuck in first gear. Thanks

Thanks for the advice...

Thanks for the reply. Can you recommend someone coming to give a second opinion? Thanks Just to add. It is a lister and 1969 build...

Recent boat service highlighted gear box is stuck in forward. Advised by my trusted mechanic it'll need towing to a boatyard. Engine needs lifting out to do the job. Can anyone assist with a tow from Saltford to Bristol and what sort of price would I be looking at. Recommendations greatly appreciated....
