Ah now that’s interesting, on removing the cap I have found the code 6351 I’m struggling to remove the nozzle nut

I have been having a clear out and found a set of injectors, I don’t know which engine they are for but suspect it might be a BMC. There are manufactured by Bosch and are marked with the following: BOSCH 939. KB35S619/13, 135 bar. 072 Any help with their identification would be much appreciated!

Hmmm I didn't know there was a facebook page, ill have a look!

Crikey I wasn't expecting so many replies so quickly, I should have checked back sooner! I think he wants to live on a boat as more of a lifestyle choice and try it out before buying his own. That's what I did 10 years ago and a very good idea it was too, it was a private arrangement rather than an official rental. I take it that nobody knows of a boat to rent?

Hello a friend of mine is moving to the Aldermaston wharf area and is presently house hunting. I suggested he should look for a boat to rent for the short term as it would be right up his street. Does anyone know of a boat to rent, preferably with a mooring on the Kennet and Avon in commutable distance to Aldermaston wharf? I guess that would be between Reading and Newbury. Many thanks

Ah good point! Stratford

Can anyone recommend a good engineer who understands Listers? I would like somebody to give my HA2 a good look over and a de coke. I think it's time for new rings as well! Many thanks

Ah yes that's the sort of thing I'm interested in. I really want to avoid a lot if the purpose built marine/ caravan TV's as I don't think much if the sound and picture quality. However anything from Samsung or Sony etc would be ideal

I think the best way would be to fit the components and then get an engineer to connect the compressor and fill the system

Yes that's how I understand it, because the televisions are made for multiple markets they have a DC input and supplied with relevant transformer to suit destination country mains.

The 14 volt TV I have found isn't an automotive TV, it just happens to be 14 volt. I think it would need a stabilised supply, that would protect it from spikes etc. I know someone with a 14 volt samsung which happily runs on 12 volt (for 2 years now), however he thinks the plug gets warmer than it should, possibly because it is drawing more power as the supply is weaker than specified I was wondering if Cotswoldman could tell me the model of TV he uses? Many thanks

Were your TV's 12 volt exactly? i can see that would be easy. Unfortunately the examples i am interested in seem to be 14 or 18 volts

I have a general question about TV's with a DC input, although there are many 12 volt examples available there isn't a great choice when it comes to quality. I have been looking at alternatives and there are a number of LG and samsung televisions that accept a 14 volt 3 amp input. The question I have is twofold, 1) can they be run from 12 volt through a stabiliser? I know that they do in fact work this way, but is it safe and what are the pitfalls? 2) what sort of converter could be used to step from 12 to 14 volts, and would this be more efficient than using a mains tv through an inverter? Many thanks

Hmm, the compressor I have is a danfoss BD35F

That should read gas was

Good point, it's not leaking, just inefficient. The has wad merely a guess.

Now that's interesting, I have an old LEC 12 vilt fridge that although works isn't as cold as it used to be (presumeably needs re gassing). I have been thinking about getting a better quality 230 volt fridge and having it converted, as I thinking would be more thermally efficient and use less power, could I use the compressor and control unit from my existing fridge and fit it to a new one?

I am looking for a mooring on the Avon, preferably between Stratford and Evesham, can anyone make any suggestions? Many thanks in anticipation!

Which is exactly what I will do when in situ. But I want to field test the idea here first

Yes I could, but I want to experiment with it over a period of time. I'm actually thinking about using it abroad on some land in an off grid location where the water is from what's called a water mine. The pressure is low in the summer and I think the duo pump fed from a header tank would be a good solution.

Hi everyone, I have a Johnson Aquajet duo. It is a double pump system that I want to experiment with. Can anyone recommend a suitable mains power supply that would provide 24 volts to operate the pump? I believe it requires a 5.5amp supply. Thanks for any suggestions

My kitchen mixer tap has started leaking, I was planning to change it anyway but have a couple of basic questions. My current tap is a standard off the shelf domestic example, it has two copper tubes protruding below, one for hot and one for cold. These are plumbed I to the hep2o pipes. Most if the new taps I have seen have flexible hoses, what I'm wondering us if they can be easily connected to the hep2o, and if so would I require special couplings? Many thanks

Thanks for the info, I did wonder, what sort of charger would you recommend?

I have a victron blue power charger, I currently have a set of sealed batteries that are probably due for a change soon, what I was wondering is if the blue power chargers are suitable for sealed batteries. There is no adjustment on the charging rate, and the batteries always perform better when charged off the alternators, even when the victron charger shows as fully charged. Does anybody have an opinion on this? Many thanks

Thanks for your insight, it's been very useful, on balance I prefer oil, electric just doesn't do it for me. In reality it will barely be used, but it would be nice to have an oil lamp when it is! As to safely, the reservoir is quite large and ill just keep it half full to allow for expansion. I will get a smoke bell, and the idea of using a candle sconce or gas lamp bracket is excellent! Once again again many thanks for your replies
