  1. Is it normal for my coolant header tank to be empty when the engine is cold, and then fill up once the engine is started and heats up? Apologies if it's a silly question, but I am new to all this.... Also, I have noticed that my Webasto header tank bubbles a lot, is that normal or is there air in the system?
  2. Thanks for the advice! Sounds like you can get ripped off when looking for obscure spares......
  3. I emailed Barrus a couple days ago but no response....I'll do as you suggest and remove one and measuring it! Hopefully there is another manufacturer that matches the spec....Thanks
  4. Does anyone know where I can source spare glow plugs for my 2009 Barrus Shanks 37 engine? Tried googling but no joy so far....Thanks!!
  5. Thanks Tony...as a complete novice, how do I test for voltage at that busbar? I have a basic multimeter but not much idea how to use one.....stepp learning curve for me I'm afraid...!!
  6. Are the glow plugs attached to the wire and bus bar on the left? Its a Shanks 37 engine 2009 Insulated I think.....it ran very well during our 16 day passage frpm London up to the Fens, only since the weather changed to cold and damp have we had trouble....
  7. Engine is Shanks and boat is 2009 East West Marine (Chinese built), rather basic setup so unsure whether there is any computer control involved....!
  8. Thanks for the advice everyone, the Webasto is in the engine bay so warms the area...I have tried it with revs on with no success....I still suspect the glow plugs are the root cause, but unsure how to test them, or even where they are! I'll try googling.....!
  9. Hi all Since the weather cooled down we have been having trouble starting our engine, often taking several attempts to start her up. We have a 38hp Shanks engine and had no problems during the warmer weather during our delivery voyage from London. Now that we are moored and visit every couple of weeks we are having a lot of trouble getting her started. After we have run our Webasto for a couple of hours or so the engine seems to start easier... Has anyone any ideas why this would be the case? Are the glow plugs faulty? The engine turns over OK, and the starter battery is in good condition, she just won't start! Any advice greatly appreciated!! TIA!
  10. Has anyone found a supplier for the East West window catches?
  11. Bit mystified as it is a copper cable attached to the top of the sender and looks to have been covered in some sort of glue or resin....I assumed it was the power to the sender?
  12. Hi Tracy, the black wire is the power supply....
  13. Mild steel by the look of it.....not ideal at all....
