eber

[ChattingLil]

I'm still struggling to get my eber serviced/fixed. I've bought the PBO, seen Stu's article, had an email back from Stu and I'd be fairly happy to give it a go, BUT.... the thing I am struggling with is getting it disconnected and off the boat to start with. I spent a very frustrated hour or so in the bottom of the cockpit locker staring it feeling quite weepy and useless (interspersed with periods of foul-mouthed ranting). Do we know anybody local ish who does this kind of job without charging silly money?

Take it to a commercial vehicle diesel specialist - they're used to dealing with cab heaters.

yer - can't believe I can't find anyone to do this job. The only people at Bridgemarsh who could do it, can't do it due to either being a) too fat, b) too busy or c) too knackered in the back department (re awkward and small site of the unit).

Have you tried Colchester Fuel Injection http://www.colfuel.co.uk/ might be expensive in traveling time though.

hmm, suspect I will just have to have another couple of hours in the locker. I must be able to figure it out if I stare at it long enough.

What I am nervious about is disconnecting the fuel line and the electrics. I'm ok with the mechanical nuts and bolts stuff!

If you decide to have a go at getting it out yourself...

• Take lots of photos before you start, take more photos when things are half dismantled. These are useful for when it comes to putting everything back together.
• The fuel line can either be nipped with a clamp or put a bolt of suitable size in the end of it to stop fuel leaking.
• When you take something off, put it in a bag and label what it is and where it came from in PERMANENT MARKER. Bolts can often be put back in the holes they came from.

Success (as they say in Holland)

See this thread. There a poster called David2452 whose signature is East Coast Marine Heating. Perhaps he can help.

Cheers Roger. Just spoke to him. He can't help me but he thinks he knows someone who can. Thanks x

Sorry I couldn't help but I would have been travelling for twice the time the job would take.
I think I have found somebody closer to you who can whip it out (Ohh er matron) and therefore not at the silly price I would need to charge, seeing him at the weekend and will get back to you.
