  1. I purchased a Parkside mains circular saw as I had lots of chopping to do in a short space of time. I was fully intending to take it back when it failed.... I never did, still have it now!
  2. A friend had one that went faulty a year or so ago, after some investigation we found a dry joint on one of the power rails internally on a PCB...
  3. Exactly the same as above: Android 11 One UI 3.1 > Settings > Connections > Data Usage.
  4. Yeah I'm struggling to understand what you mean too. Can you post a circuit diagram, draw it out neatly on a bit of paper and take a pic of it? Have you got a part number for you charge controller?
  5. Not sure I understand exactly what pipe you're replacing, any chance of some pics? I don't know why you'd want to flare a pipe unless it has a union, then you'd flare it to match the union. I don't know of any Webasto 'style' diesel heater that use unions as standard...
  6. If you are a CCer then you live in/on your boat on the canal and as such you aren't a tourist, you're at home so how can any tourist tax be applied? Even if you pay for a mooring for a few nights you still live on the canal and as such, aren't a tourist?
  7. Hmmm wouldn't it all depend how it's worded. If its a tax when 'staying away from home' the surely your narrowboat is your home and your in your home and not away from it....?!
  8. I used 'Kus' magnetic sensors and guages. Pretty good quality, work perfectly and very keenly priced... I'll find a link and post.... https://www.asap-supplies.com/products/kus-water-level-gauge-with-stainless-bezel-white-euro-resistance-ky11100 https://www.asap-supplies.com/products/kus-fuel-and-water-dip-level-sender-200mm-euro-resistance-js60057
  9. Hmmmm mine often runs through the night... It runs less, but it still runs a couple of times an hour... After reading the manual again I think I have the temp set lower than it needs to be and I believe I also have the 'Fast Cooling' enabled. Apparently I you hold the temp button for 3 seconds you can turn 'Fast Cooling' on and off.....
  10. Thank for your reply. Battery's are all good, behaves exactly the same whist engines are running or on shore power, via victron phoenix charger. Nothing on the sides or the fridge, all the pipework and compressor are on the back. It has some space both sides and on top. Also have a draw above it I can remove to increase air flow as a test...
  11. Evening, if anyone has a dometic compressor fridge, how often does yours cycle on and off. Mine just feels like it's cycling far too often. The compressor starts & runs for 3 to 4 mins then off for about 15 mins, then on again for 3 to 4 mins....?? My first thoughts are the cable is too small or not enough air flow behind it...
  12. Sorry, I want being entirely serious with my previous reply. Wow thats a decent price!! Do you want to sell some to me 😉
  13. £18 per day this year with the rise in electricity prices 😁
  14. As mentioned above BWML or Aquashista sorry Aquavista as it's now known do residential moorings, it's not cheap and they aren't a nice company to deal with...
  15. IMHO older GRP craft tend to weigh more also those designed for costal duty tend to weigh more as the fiberglass is thicker. Last time mine was lifted crane drive said ut was 6.5 ton...
  16. I'm a bot.... well I certainly feel like it with the drudgery of work at the moment 😞
  17. What's your power source, inverter, generator, shore power? Have you tried a different power source?
  18. http://www.calcuttboats.com/ Edit Doh beaten too it 😁
  19. True, but they often bend the pricing by charging x amount per unit plus x amount for infrastructure... The result, bloody expensive electricity!!
  20. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 10 posts to view.
  21. If the locking pin is correctly set enfield legs will kick upwards/backwards on impact, when reverse is engaged it will be locked in the down position. Trim is set with a static bar that you can manually move but it's a bit of a faff. Hydraulic trim tilt enfield legs were available but about as rare as rocking horse poo. Edit: There is also a variant the swings up out of the water (left or right can't remember which way) on a manual worm gear mechanism. If yours has the swing mechanism and hasn't been regularly swung then don't!! It will probably tare the seals then leak... Generally they are good stern drives, easy to work on. Parts are difficult to comeby now. Keep the oil level topped up.

  23. I'm guessing is total BS and the ad written by someone who hasnt a f*ing clue what they are on about... '5G Chip' oh please its just arse....
  24. Something like this ? https://www.aquafax.co.uk/products/polished-brass-sump-pump-1-2-74590
