    Just look at what happened to Titanic.

    Perhaps you had air in it somewhere. Or perhaps you have air in it now... As long as it works

    Sounds like Water hammer. I’ll leave someone else to describe how best to address that.

    But seeing as many pumps die due to a failed pressure switch and bearing in mind that the pressure switch can be used for all subsequent pumps it looks like a deal. <£30 instead of >£70.

    Surely you just don’t want Water getting anywhere near the engine, period. It matters not if you might get hydraulic lock or mayonnaise in the sump, you simply want to avoid it happening in the first place. Hence the bungs.

    Had you perhaps set the cut in pressure too close to the cut out? If there’s insufficient hysteresis in the settings I could imagine problems. Or... if it cut out at too low a pressure why not simply raise the cut out pressure?

    Surely a herd of hamsters and an electric motor would be cheaper though.

    Oddly I can’t find any in the UK. Plenty available in the US though (which is odd, seeing as they’re made in Italy). https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/SQUARE-D-20-40LB-Water-Pump-Pressure-Switch-FSG2J20CP-NEW/391419191881?epid=1994097634&hash=item5b2266e249:g:zTAAAOSwstxVJDO1 Ohh... the US ones are made in Mexico.

    Yep, I think we should implement that. Then we’d end up with... 1) Where can I buy a new filter for my BMC? 57) Only a muppet would say that.

    I’m on a mobile so I have no idea what anyone’s signature says. I like it - it keeps the screen clear of meaningless clutter Someone else who hasn’t read the whole thread

    That’s the frequency at which cordless mice work, so probably not.

    But surely Dagenham Dustbins don’t break down...?

    It’ll happen again. Why not be proactive and buy an external pressure switch and wire (and plumb) it in at your leisure instead of waiting for it to fail completely.

    Two of those heaters prevented me from freezing for about three winters in a flat I once lived in in Brum. I never could work out why that flat suffered so much from condensation...

    It’s the 9th largest country in Europe and has 7 countries on its borders.

    Perhaps not but if you build a customer facing website then...

    I was quite taken with the fact that they can’t spell their own name in the very first sentence.

    But not a quality proof reader, it appears.

    Ahh, so you’re the one...

    Apocryphal I think. I heard another version of this where a guy in Oz had a failed back axle. RR turn up with a new axle and proceed to strip his car. “I can’t afford this!” He cries. Same response as your story.

    Drop them behind you on the way to the pub in the dark and you’ll find your way back to the boat...

    Despite living in Birmingham and now Nuneaton I don’t know the area at all but thanks, I’ll check it out if I can. I’ll take a close look on Google maps and see if I can locate where you mean
  25. WotEver
    Thanks I’ll see how my schedule pans out but I might be able to make a short road trip next week.
