    Thanks for the follow-up. It seems there may be hope for us yet!

    The best place for overflowing waste bins is in the Town Hall.

    One of the few competent canal related vloggers on Youtube. Fortunately he does intend to continue posting on "Cruising the Cut", so I for one will look forward to his vlogs as a balance to the posting here by self-centred curmudgeons. 😄

    Will it float? 😃

    Diesel has gone up here at Crick Marina £1.51 for domestic heating use.

    British Steel! Is there any such thing?

    Sadly I think that we have run out of gasometers to flatten into Springers.

    Good point, however the system had been drained, flushed and new antifreeze installed following the failure and replacement of both the Webasto Fan unit and combustion chamber last December. I don't think that there can be much of the original unit left other than the external tubes and wiring.

    Just to complete this story. The heater is now repaired and once again doing its job. The problem was leaky heat exchange allowing the circulated water to escape into the combustion chamber then into the exhaust. I remain unimpressed with this make of heater.

    I'm not sure but you obviously should have several

    We must keep wannabe boaters off our canals at all costs. Our backyard has to be protected and exclusive.

    Or the Express and Torygraph.

    Sounds interesting although I need a water boiler. I wonder if anyone can provide a link to a Chinese version of the Webasto.

    Thank you to all who have replied. I shall have our Webasto repaired once more in the possibly vain hope that it will last through the summer on light duties heating the domestic water.

    We have a solid fuel stove to supplement the radiator heating as neither system is sufficient in winter. When I restart the Webasto during the day it is always run for about an hour or more.

    It seems that there is an internal water leak with the cooling water some how leaking into the exhaust system. We run the heater of 3 hours first thing each morning to heat the boat and domestic water, then as required through the day, that's generally for a hour or so at a time. A central heating system that can only be run for an hour is obviously deficient and of little use to me so it is time to investigate alternatives.

    Our Webasto heater is chucking out a lot of smoke, somewhat reminiscent of a WII destroyer laying down a smoke screen.The unit has been in use for less than a year and was serviced last December when it required a new fan unit and combustion chamber. I beginning to wonder if it is worth bothering with and it's time to find something more reliable. At present it seems to be a money pit, and a bottomless on at that.

    Presumably it will have to have a suitably sized fuse or circuit breaker.

    The Harecastle tunnel makes a for pleasant trip, why avoid it?

    Do other boats understand signals?
