  1. Is that anywhere near Four Feather Falls?
  2. CCBM is a pretty poor qualification too, according to this 7 year old thread...
  3. However that report doesn't gel with what Nick reported. Ian Lane is referring to silt whereas @nicknorman was talking about solid objects like bricks and stones below the baseplate.
  4. Then I suggest you do all the manual checks mentioned above before pulling injectors and such like.
  5. I love how the country is Portugal and the region is Bedfordshire.
  6. I thought I was the only one who did that. Oh, and Jake The Peg...
  7. Unfortunately very common. You might find that if you dismount the tacho from the engine panel and bring it into the warm for a few hours it will dry out enough for it to give you a reading when you reconnect it. No guarantees though.
  8. That works for me... Phone needs charging so you’ll have to wait a short while.
  9. But as 13.5 is higher than 11.7 the compressor should be trying to start, so OP would see that voltage drop to <10.4V, raise back up, drop again, ad Infinitum. Or does his fridge lock out after a number of unsuccessful attempts?
  10. I’d suspect a stalled compressor. That will be pulling the voltage down and not making any noise.
  11. If you’re getting 13.5V at the fridge then it’s not voltage. If you’re getting 13.5V at the fridge and 14.5V at the batteries and the fridge isn’t running, where’s the lost volt gone?
  12. They’re usually the culprit when it happens suddenly. If the engine has been out in all weathers for 6 months over the winter without ever turning over then I’d suggest that all bets are off and it could be anything.
  13. Or flat battery, or seized engine/alternator/water pump.
  14. Barkeepers Friend can also help with dark water stains in wood such as oak - it’s the oxalic acid that does the trick.
  15. Yup, as I said, flashing is usually terminal.
  16. My link was to the standard product and not the concentrate because Mike didn’t say he had the concentrate. Bronopol (INN) is an organic compound that is used as an antimicrobial. It is a white solid although commercial samples appear yellow.
  17. I assumed the latter, which I have seen many times.
  18. A 5 sec Google finds the data sheet which states it contains A MIXTURE OF: 5- CHLORO-2-METHYL- 2H-ISOTHIAZOL-3- ONE [EC NO 247-500- 7] AND 2-METHYL-2H- ISOTHIAZOL-3-O & SODIUM NITRITE http://www.kamco.co.uk/MSDS/SystemsafeDM.pdf How that ties in with DrBob’s post though I have no idea.
  19. Do you really want the product to be called “Rusty Bilge”?
