Thanks Alan, much appreciated

Thanks Slim, will give them a call. 👍

Hi, you’re right of course and ours is pretty straightforward but current circs mean I am unable to get into the engine bay to do it. Body says no! 😣

Thank you, I’ll have a look at them. Have you used them yourself?

Thank you

So sorry, I’d intended to type the south Oxford and, as we’re ccing, we can move to a suitable area for the work to be done. Thanks

Hi all, we’re looking to have our engine serviced whilst we’re on the Oxford canal. Both the chaps who have done a sterling job previously have either retired or no longer carry out engine servicing so looking for recommendations for someone who will be reliable and do a good job please. TIA

Thanks Brian, I didn't realise that Wharf House had moved into the marina, I will give them a try. Much appreciated.

Sorry Brian, I thought I had already responded to your earlier post about Justin Green at Braunston. He now works at ABNB and no longer carries out this kind of work, mainly boat surveys and inspections unfortunately for us.

We are looking to have a separate tank to supply the Bubble installed in the front well as we thought that this would be much more straightforward than attempting to feed the fuel pipe all the way from the stern. The main purpose of my post was to seek recommendations for an engineer in the area competent to carry out the work on our behalf. Any suggestions gratefully received. Thank you! ?

Agreed Alan, that is what we have found too. Thanks, we are aware of the rebated price and with a separate tank purely supplying the stove it would be straightforward to claim it all as domestic use.

Thanks Brian, if it's Justin Green you are thinking about I'm pretty sure he's not at the Bottom Lock anymore. He's done work for us before and we've been very happy with him but I believe he now works at ABNB at Crick and isn't taking on this kind of work any more unfortunately for us.

Thanks Tracy D’Arth, we are looking into this as a possibility. The stove can be run on kerosene but we are struggling to find places that supply small amounts and also wondering about how readily available it is canal side when we’re out and about.

Thanks very much for that information Alan, is precisely why I'm looking for someone who knows what they are doing. ?

Hi folks, I am looking for a bit of advice please. We are planning to change our multi fuel stove for a diesel one and are looking at the Bubble range. Can anyone recommend an installer in the Braunston area? As well as installing the stove itself we will need a diesel tank to be made and fitted in to an existing locker in the forward well which is on the other side of the front bulkhead to the position of the stove. Many thanks in anticipation.
