  1. At least a 9 I thought
  2. Sanctioned or sectioned The latter i reckon
  3. I'm on a laptop, windows 10 It's probly my end, no worries
  4. It's my own previous reply, just seems to stay in the box, but not every time
  5. When replying to a thread, I sometimes get the previous post still in the reply box and have to delete it before posting something else Is this a glitch or should I be doing summat different
  6. Fuck all wrong with the oldies, a stat, a thermocouple and a gas valve, not much to go wrong and they never usually failed (apart from a thermocouple every few years) Still got quite a few on my books, although I changed a gas valve on a floor standing Mexico earlier this week £170 odd plus vat, bit salty that for a Honeywell valve I thought EDIT I'm talking about cast iron boilers in general, not any specific model Before you start pissing higher than me again 😍
  7. I hear what you're saying, but some faults just "happen" burners crack, condense pipes block and back up into heat exchangers causing all sorts of shit and it wouldn't be wise not to check inside there I always check basics before delving in deeper, learned the hard way years ago More than one way to skin a cat I spose
  8. Easier to remove complete burner (4 nuts) than damaging the gasket on the electrode set Wouldn't you check the burner itself when looing for an ignition based fault EDIT 35 yrs for me
  9. I would've noticed that when removing the snorkel to take out the burner to check the electrodes, did the previous engineer even look at anything other than the screen showing the fault codes And yes, basic checks first, have you got gas, air, power, demand I assumed board because I assumed you had checked all other avenues and wasn't sure of your credentials as a breakdown engineer You seem OK
  10. I hope it is once it's updated and the new card is up and running
  11. I have a Garmin 7410 XSV and also a 5022 and a 5122 (I wouldn't have bought 3, but they came with the boat) The 7410 is the one I'm trying to update to accept the G3 vision card
  12. Rang Garmin yesterday while on the boat in front of the plotter The plotter needs updating, it was using software version 5.50 and should be on 25.4, so will download the update and see if that cures it The customer service guy said that Homeport doesn't support the G3 vision cards, only earlier versions, a bit pissed off with that
  13. When I got sent to jail I was held down over a table and fucked hard up the wrong un for at least an hour I thought to myself, Uncle Brian takes monopoly far too serious and I won't be playing with him again....
  14. Sent the reel back yesterday, I paid the postage (£4.70) and he said he would pay when it was received but only if it was in the same condition as when he sent it to me Fuck sake, the only way it would be any worse was if I threw it down the road 🤣 I paid the postage to see if he would honour his word and reimburse me, I will have a bit of fun if he doesn't and probably get banned in the process
  15. Lots of Welsh over there apparently Must be full of sheep
  16. I've had 2 claiming to be from DPD (couriers) stating that they tried to deliver my Boots order, but no-one was in Had a link on the bottom of the message for their website, which I didn't click on Nobody has ordered anything from Boots in the swamp household
  17. I know what you mean, but fuck it that's what it's for
  18. Go on then, I'll bow to your superior knowledge What did you work out all on your lonesome 🙃
  19. Did you cross the water and gas 🤣
  20. I assumed you checked leads/harness/electrodes
  21. Usually board, but without being in front if it couldn't say for defo
