Was running last week when I hauled it out of the boat. New starter motor. Replaced primary water pump a few years ago, replaced injector elbow. isolated ground engine ie all sensors etc are isolated from the block Crankshaft seal leaks like a sieve, needs replacing. Attached to a ZF 10...

Could possibly help out if you are still looking. What does the combination weigh. Are you insured for towing risks? Driving ( Ford Ranger ) from Sussex to North Wales Sunday.

run the cables up a section of lead pipe ( if you could find some ) wrap them in lead flashing. Foil wont make the blindest bit of difference. An interesting exercise ..... take a beer can and place it next to your compass...... think it's aluminium? Guess again and watch the compass!

Room in the vehicle ( Ford Ranger - engine and junk in the back ) if anyone is looking for a free ride. Leaving Chester 20/07/18 Brindisi ferry to Igo then Preveza by the Monday. Returning 03/08 Could do with a driving or just passenger company.

When your engine is running or the solar panels are kicking in a charge you will find 13.8 to 14.2 v on the batteries... you'll get a full charge provided that there is no intelligence built into the wall adaptor itself. In which case you may well get a pretty little fire.

Elon Musk sold PayPal to EBay in 2002 and has nothing to do with either company. With around 20 billion in the bank I suspect he can keep lobbing whatever he feels like lobbing in to space!

Levkas. if you are in Preveza you will be on the wrong side of the water to the yard and have to pay the tunnel toll at least twice a day. The car will use less fuel travelling to and from Levkas and anyway preveza has very little activity in Feb.

Dual action seems to be the way to go in car detailing and that is a very demanding ( and potentially expensive if cocked up ) market. I had a friends clapped out MX5 to try things out on and within 15 minutes could get a cracking finish with the Dual Action and after an hours practice ( and a...

I bought one of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01J6J24X6 for use on the car, correcting swirl and other 'abuse' marks. Works a treat. Happy to use it on my Merc, would be great on the boat. ( But I'm going to wrap mine ) I also have a Silverline 180mm polisher, never been used...

Corfu, June Sailing weather will be 'all you can hoist or nothing at all' ( nothing because you are motoring and flopping) Sometimes it's just too much hassle to put up the main anyway, certainly reefing is something I have done perhaps 10 times in 12 years. ( and I've only done that at the...

Re: Wanted Some advice please on cheap & safe Mooring in Corfo and also a Chart plott Look at one of the yards at Preveza. Far cheaper than Corfu and easier to get to in the summer, only a mile from airport to yards.

That would drive me nuts in no time! Instruments are not 'levelled' :) :) :) :)

it's an original floggle toggle!

Measure the pitch, tooth width and belt width and length. pretty simple once you have those.

If you want a proper piece of kit look at the DS1000E from Rigol. Under £300 We have bought one of the 1054Z's for each of our techies benches they are incredibly capable and versatile.
