  1. Thanks for all the advice. I am going to get in a plumber and see what they reckon. Thanks again, Matt
  2. Hi everyone, I live on a narrowboat. My radiator is leaking. I’ve tried finding the leak / using epoxy putter etc… but no luck. I am thinking of getting out a plumber. Can I get out a standard domestic plumber to look at the rad / replace it. Or should I only get a marine plumber? Thanks lots
  3. Great, I’ll keep an eye out for those symptoms.
  4. I will try and give the engine a long run and give the batteries a really good charge. Thanks,
  5. Not all of it! But I’ve got a day off work and I like reading.
  6. I just have. Really useful. Thanks.
  7. I agree. I think the batteries are failing. I’m getting a volt meter to check.
  8. Thanks Tony.
  9. I think it’s the batteries too. I’ll try the battery check - what will it tell me?
  10. You’re right. Liveaboard in London. I have spent 5 years living aboard with no problems. It’s 12.6 ish when I go to bed and similar when I wake up. Hi - no, I’ve had 5 wi yers aboard. This is the first time this has happened I ran my engine an 1 hour yesterday. Thanks Tony, wise words I think.
  11. I have three batteries in a bank. They are 120 Ah. Not sure one has gone down, my MPPT charger is just shows no equalising charging and when the fridge compressor comes on, it really knocks the battery to 10 volts. Strange? Any ideas?
  12. Great, thanks I’ll look into this. I am a liveaboard. Not a power crisis. But one of my batteries has lost power.
  13. I know it involves more than just a straight swap. That’s really why I’d like an expert to help. Thanks, I’ve seen them. Look good but like you said, look expensive too. But definitely worth a shout,
  14. Hi everyone, I am looking to get lithium batteries to replace my tired old car batteries. But I need someone who knows exactly what power battery I need and how to install them? Does anyone have a good recommendation for a lithium battery expert in the Teddington region? Thanks very much, Matt
  15. Great, thanks everyone, loads of good tips. I like the idea of ferry gliding into the GU! Matt
