    Head Lining Residue

    I need to replace my head lining as it's either fallen off or peeled away. The pieces that have come off have left a black horrible residue that won't wash off and I can't sand due to surface. Anyone any suggestions short of a blow torch. Many thanks Andy

    Orca Bay Storm Boots

    Thinking of treating myself to a pair of these in the January sales. I can't justify buying some for double the price plus there seems to be a lot of negative comments about quality lately regarding some of the big name brands. Anybody any experience of these boots. Cheers Andy

    Standard Horizon HX300 Problem

    I have a Standard Horizon HX300 handheld which has worked well since I got it. Recently however, when I select DW, the display seems to be scanning so quickly that it just looks like the number 88 constantly flickering. Anybody had anything similar and if so, is there a fix? Cheers Andy

    Chinese heater keeping the ducts on.

    I fitted my CDH in the engine bay as well but having looked at the quality of the ducting and jubilee clips that came with it, replaced the whole lot with decent quality. Not had a problem in 3 years.

    Dangerous diesel heaters impounded

    Installed one on my boat 2 years ago and it's been brilliant. Common sense said bin the exhaust, some of the ducting and fittings and get marine grade. If you can't work that out for yourself you really shouldn't be out on your own.

    no diesel at bleeding screw, only air?

    The first time I did a service, I forgot to cl9se the bleed screw at the bottom of the glass bowl on the primary. Spent ages pumping air until a mate said "You did tighten etc"
