  3. Op needs to consider the fact that buying a used boat is in realty also buying a todo list.
  4. Had same thing recently, easy job to swap out the regulator. I took the opportunity to swap out an automatic switch over regulator to a manual switch over which I find to be better for me. Last regulator and hose lasted 16 years which I hadn't realised until I read the new install instructions was way over the official date for replacement. Symptoms were exactly the same as your experiencing. Edit to add that full kit including hoses and fittings was circa £90 from Midland Chandlers. Similar kits available on Amazon for £84 + Edit again to add Just remembered that you will need some Gas Thread Sealing PTFE Tape which is the yellow stuff. Just a few pence
  5. I made the mistake of trying to think about it and realised I was trying to subvert a subversion but my mind couldn't process the outcome.
  6. I was going to suggest that a label be attached to it saying "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" But the when I started to work out the implications my head couldn't handle it. Nice job by the op by the way.
  7. In not sure that individually any of these could be called a miracle but maybe an argument could be made that it's a miracle that somewhere it was decided that the canal system should be restored and preserved. I'm sure many a good argument could of been made to fill them in as that had seized to have a valid or viable commercial role. So we have to thank the visionaries who brought them back to life.
  8. Do you have a link to this information. I cannot find any info at all about this in fact Calor are still actively advertising the benefits of the 13kg cylinders.
  9. May be an obvious suggestion but based on my experience with a digital radio it will only work on 2.4Ghz but not on 5.
  10. I think that may well be the crux of the problem nowadays. It seems to me that small groups travel together as a "community" and seem to think they have some sort of ownership of certain areas. Problem particularly bad in the South east. I can see the problem but have no solution to offer.
  11. Quite right about peak district, old age playing its little games again. I was on the very busy camp site at or near Buxton, woke up to a covering of snow and a lot of very busy campers packing away.
  12. I do that as well, easy reach swivel bracket with easy reach switch. Use it to check out tunnel architecture and water cascades. Very useful addition.
  13. Pretty much my set up, halogen bulb pointed to roof. Installed a LED once but only for a short time far to bright. Have no problem running a halogen as only on when engine running and batteries not bring drained, only caveat is to remember to switch off as heavy drain on battery when static.
  14. Ditto. Please stop posting how reliable they are we all know what happens next when you start praising electronic items.
  15. Ah! Got that wrong as well then. Printed and laminated to fit portholes.
  16. I was indeed the impression that you no longer need to display the licence. I am fairly sure that was the case a few years ago. Looks like I was wrong
  17. From CRT I’ve lost my licence discs, what should I do? Although we can tell from the boat index number whether a boat is licenced, it’s still a legal requirement to display them along with your boat name and index number. If you bought your licence online, you can log into your account and print another set. If your index plates are temporarily obscured for any reason (eg. under covers during winter) you can also print temporary plates to display
  18. You have to ensure that you have a bank account set up befor you go nfa. Also a good idea to set up other accounts in advance e,g Tescos etc
  19. Maybe a little edit might be in order? I do agree with the general thread though.
  20. I had a nice ride out to near Buxton in the dales on my little suzuki ts125, plimsolls, jeans and lightweight jacket. Pitched tent, woke up next morning to a snow covered camp site. Had a cold ride to nearest cafe where a very kind lady sat me in front if the radiator and supplied with hot drinks and food. Very memorable weekend.
  21. Typo? Or something else I don't know? Good info by the way. I'm never sure how tight to make a joint so I probably err on the side of over tightening.

    Excellent little film and what an excellent presenter Daniel's mother is.
  23. Many decades behind me and still learning new things. Never knew that.
  24. My first point of call, although I haven't used it for sometime, is the BES catalogue. https://www.bes.co.uk/pipes-tubes-and-fittings/pipe-fittings/compression/ They give pretty comprehensive descriptions and measurements.
