  1. Is it like this one on our LB? If so you pull the whole lever outwards before giving it some revs to keep it out of gear. It drops back in when you return it to tickover.
  2. Is it one of the pictures in this post?: http://www.canalworld.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=30496&view=findpost&p=533963

    NB---DOVER

    A picture from Braunston last October - poor quality as it was dusk, but showing the extent of the overplating on the sides. (I think there was some more under the counter as well).
  4. Is this it?: http://www.canalworld.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=27036&view=findpost&p=460364 ETA: note to self - must type faster
  5. As I said, there are a number of issues with the stove. It has never been as easy to control as others I've used, the door is a poor fit and it is rusting badly inside. A boatyard I visited also advised that the hearth is too small, the tiling not adequately insulated and the flue pipe needs replacing. In getting that sorted it makes sense to me to get a near end of life old stove changed out now at a time convenient to me.
  6. Thanks all for your comments. It's not a great installation by modern standards, and also some other bits look as though they are past their best. On balance it looks like replacement is the way to go. Thanks again!
  7. I've just noticed a crack in the front plate of our evergreen stove, from the top down to just below the upper door hinge. I'm guessing that it isn't safe to use and will need replacement...or is some kind of repair possible?
  8. On rivers, (but not canals), owners of adjoining land have riparian rights - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riparian_water_rights
  9. Thanks Carl. I can't do better with the pdf than I did with the image in the previous post. I think we are limited by the quality of the device that George used to scan the image to pdf. Worth a try though...
  10. PM sent with email address
  11. I can't do much with it, perhaps a bigger original would help. Lifted the brightness a bit though:
  12. View the image in the pdf, then ctrl+print screen, then paste into "paint" and save as a jpg would do it. (Assuming you are using windows)
  13. True, but subcontracting sometimes transfers it to others who are better trained and equipped to manage the risk. A common example would be asbestos removal contractors.
  14. You need to have made 5 posts before you can use PM. Two more to go!
  15. Para 15 of Stammers' statement at the inquest states that signage was in place: http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/111773/response/274440/attach/3/Tony%20Stammers%20Inquest%20Statement.pdf I think I recall seeing an image of it in one of the other attachments to that FOI request, but can't remember which one.
  16. Yes, that's where the image is linked from. It is one of those boats that I pass so regularly that I never think to take my own photo. ETA: That site also has images of a square bow, although that seems to lift underway to reveal a more conventional underwater shape.
  17. It doesn't have the cabin you describe, but Jebus which is now moored between Calcutt locks and Napton Junction perhaps has round bow you are after.
  18. This thread has the answer: http://www.canalworld.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=42325 Thought I remembered this being discussed before.

  20. Here's one: http://www.forestry.gov.uk/forestry/INFD-6MHJXJ Worth noting, if your dog is like mine, that you need two sticks. One to do the flicking, and another to throw for the now excited dog to fetch, while you chuck the first one in the bushes. Don't ask how I know this...
  21. It was the terminus of the Warwick and Birmingham Canal with a basin near Sainsbury. Coal was carried to gasworks and factories in Saltisford.

    leaking

    Just a thought - if you can't find a leak now, and the tank level isn't dropping, it is possible that the water has been there for a while after an old leak that has already been fixed.
  23. Our TV came with an Amperor 12v-12v stabiliser which google will find for you. Not at the boat now so can't get the part number. Phil at Boatshare seems to sell something similar (http://www.boatshare.co.uk/12voltregulator/index.htm). (No connection other than as an ex-customer of his old job at ex-Ownerships).
  24. Unless things have changed in the last couple of weeks they won't mind, as the pub is closed.
