Thanks for that Grumps. it looks as though my brother may be having a short break in the Island soon. Don't really fancy getting into a 'stuck' situation without someone I can call on to assist.
I shall remain positive. Oh I'm so sorry for the pun.
Kindest regards, John.

Hello again Grumpy. I'm in the Isle of Wight now with its attendant ferry charge disadvantage. (£40 each way ouch) However, as I still have family in the Midlands, (Lichfield) then logistics are not as problematical as they could be. I assume that cells such as these are not a post/courier option. J...

Thanks for that Grumps. I was afraid you would say that. My problem here is that I am on my own, as it were. My limited knowledge of the finer points of the electric/battery system, coupled with lack of facilities is going to present me with some head scratching. I assume that if I hire a pump truck...

Hello Boys and Girls. I am now moved and set up in the new house in the Isle of Wight. As far as I know my Blingo is the only Electrique on the island. Now then, a problem. I did a maintenance charge and fill last week and noticed that the back battery, second filler from left looking from the front...

It's what I call f****g cold. It fascinates me how we grind to a halt in this country at anything around freezing and yet when I went to Poland, nobody even mentioned how cold it was at fifteen below. Mind you, I never felt that it seemed as cold as England. Maybe it is a dryer sort of cold. I have ...

Grasping firmly on a piece of wood!!! Would you believe it. After all my whinging, during the latest snow and blizzard conditions the pesky heater as worked just fine. Not even having to switch it on again after ten minutes, or anything like that. I feel that the ten squirts of oil may have done the...

Thanks Grumpy. I guessed from his initial vague response that he was out of his depth. This is why I did not take his advice. Now having said all that, my heater has been great today. Not one single bloody hiccup. I have for some time now been giving it a few shots of oil from the oilcan each time I...

Hello again boys. My heater has started to drive me crazy. It starts up every time, runs for about ten minutes then stops. A switch off and on again usually starts it up again. Down the road from us is a Marina (not the Morris one) so I asked the guy there if he knew anything about them. His reply f...

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, went through all the flashing connection business. I used to have a garage in the old days of SU & Bendix pumps, so am aware of the pulsing thingy. I also tried & succeeded with tapping the pulse pump body, all to no avail. Got myself geared up to borrow a garage ...

Well, it's a sure sign that winter is approaching. The heater has been fine all year. I switch it on periodically & put up with the windows open until I am satisfied that everything is fine. I even bought some "Dry Fuel" & dosed the tank. Great. Now! Time to use it on those chilly ...
