Help with diesel engine rebuild

No need to press the point. I've been graciuos enough to admit that the basket case comment was a post too far. If Al, if I can call him that, wants to persist with the sarcasm comments so be it. I have an ignore button as does he.
Its a live and let live world at the end of the day. Let that be the last word on the subject or it'll turn into a Sd/planning weather post and I don't think I could handle another this month!
 
Hey - I'm all for a bit of fun and rough and tumble. I need a hand that's all. Hugo Andrea is interested in the boat I'm restoring for MBM - I'm just trying to get things sorted out after being dumped in it by the man that was organising the re-build.
 
Col is a guy that posts here that has more than your average knowledge and abilities with diesels. As I said, you probably won't find a better mechanic floating about the Thames area. I even known him to do the odd job for people and not charge. I'm not saying he wouldn't charge for a complete rebuild. But even if he charged more than your average spanner monkey it would be money well spent.

I've built and marinized more than one or two engines. Even installed and repaired engines for nothing. I can do it this way as its more a hobby now and I enjoy oit and help fellow boaters/friends at the same time. My spanner twidling days for a job are long gone... thank god.

I hope that you get the boat finished and running. I've admired one the same on the River Frome since I was a kid. Nicely finished seaworthy boat that deserves the money spent on it.
 
I offered to contact Col and ask him to look at this thread if you don't know how to work private messaging yet. Do you, or don't you? You keep asking for help, but don't take any that's offered to you.
 
Thanks Barry H

How do I get hold of Col? I'm willing to pay over the odds to get these engines assembled. The boat's at Windsor and we moor at Teddington.

thanks

Al
 
Right ok. If you click on user options it'll take you to another page. At the top left'ish of that page you'll see a box with "private messages" as a heading. Click on send a message. That will takr you to another page that is self explanitary. Fill in all the boxes and click send. If you have probs come back here and I'm sure someone else will be more than happy to help by sending a message to Col on your behalf........que Brendan! (smug smartarse git) Still cant find the raspberry button!!!!????
 
So, do you wish me to contact Col on your behalf? as I've asked twice now?

Forget Private Messaging, I'll probably be drinking with him tomorrow night

If you want help, why not just answer a simple question?


PS amazing how much editing has gone on in this thread so far
 
Re: Raspberry button

I've already posted the raspberry button answer on Website Feedback forum in response to your previous query. You can do a search.
 
Re: Raspberry button

Oh I see quaf beers with col, but snub my quality collection of ales.....ok I get the picture. Where you drinking for the record. Would it be worth the cab fare from surrey to berkshire......no scrap that I'm out bashing bunnies by lamp light.
 
Probably not a good idea to put your phone number on a publicly viewed forum.....I made that mistake once! Just a friendly nudge.

Re: Raspberry button

I'm bloody wetting myself! Only in America. I bet Toby's saviour is raking it in. Then raking over the ashes on the BBQ.
Tomorrow night will be the last lamping session. If we're lucky we'll hit a fair few and be eagerly awaiting the game dealers cheque. I've gone from bolt action to a semi as the place is overrun with them. The last two outings payed for the semi. If I'm lucky tomorrow will fill the boat with fuel for easter.
 
Save Toby

Poor lickle bunny wabbit

Brilliant

I am sending money now!

I urge everyone to save Toby too.

p.s. is this what they mean by thread drift....
 
Re: Raspberry button

Saw it on scuttlebutt and posted it to SWMBO the other day while she was in office. Got the following back:

"Would have been funny, if lady in our office hadn’t recalled a tale about her own rabbits as a child that her mother had butchered and served up for their tea one night as they hadn’t looked after them
Feel quite sick thinking about this."
