Lister engineer

[midnight cowboy]

Hi

 

Can anyone recommend a suitable engineer/mechanic who could help us rebuild/overhaul our Lister HR2 air-cooled twin-cylinder engine - preferably in situ in our Northwich? We are in N London, based on the Regents Canal, but would move her to the right person for the job. We are a charity running a community boat.

 

Thanks in anticipation.

How about RLWP, of this parish.

 

Richard trades as Primrose Engineering, http://www.primrose-engineering.co.uk/

He does - and working in London is a nightmare!

I presume this is Tarporley?

 

I also wouldn't hesitate to recommend RLWP (Primrose Engineering) who has posted on this thread already.

 

To the OP, i know where your mooring is, so could you sort Richard out a parking space for his visit? This might persuede him that visiting London wouldn't be such a nightmare.

 

If for some reason you can't arrange anything with Richard for whatever reason, I'd also recommend John Pattle who is at P&S Marine in Watford. I don't think he'd go into London but some of your Skippers/Crew might enjoy taking the boat up to Watford.

Richard, Tarporley has an off-side mooring at Kings Cross on the corner of Battlebridge Basin, opposite the Canal Museum. If they can't sort you out with a parking space for a visit, maybe Tim Lewis of this parish could sort you out at the Canal Museum. They could pole the boat across if the engine isn't working.

I thought you were going to open a Thames branch

Thanks for the fast responses - yes we are happy to move Tarporley to the engineer's yard - I am sure that will mean they can use any heavy gear to do a good job. - We've been to Braunston for work in the past.

How are they going to move London.

Untie it at The Embankment and let it drift down stream a bit.
