  2. Can anyone identify this injector?

    in BMC

    Posted

    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!image.jpg.57141d44f5eed82e53d94931e5120d49.jpg

  4. Looking for a boat to rent on the Kennet and Avon

    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?

  5. Looking for a boat to rent on the Kennet and Avon

    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

  8. DC television

    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

    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

  13. DC television

    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

  17. 12v fridge conversion company

    in Boat Equipment

    Posted

    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?

  22. Kitchen taps

    in Boat Building & Maintenance

    Posted

    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

  24. Victron blue power charger

    in Boat Building & Maintenance

    Posted

    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

  25. Oil lamps in back cabins

    in Boat Building & Maintenance

    Posted

    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
