  1. Cheers everyone, and top stuff Tony, im just checking out your website now...huge amounts of much needed information, great stuff. cheers
  2. Tony ive been reading your post for 3 days so very pleased youve replied to mine and thanks to john too. ive changed the belt! Ive taken on all your advice and will act accordingly....and put my tools down before i get to excited... my boat generally always starts well and seems to run well although the idle may need taking up a touch. as for the smoking, it is slightly blueish and dosnt really go away. when i bought her i checked the oil and there was propably a litre to much in.(the boat had travelled 100 miles over filled im guessing.)which i removed and then added one of them engine cleaner attitives things (been told since that prob wasnt a good idea for circulating crap in the engine. i havnt looked at your RCR maintenance courses but i would be interested. thanks again, jamie
  3. hey up, im going to try and service my engine this weekend. Not had my narrowboat boat long and no idea the last time it was serviced so really want to give her a good going over. i know very little about engines and have no manual so ive looked at various information online and havnt really found anything conclusive. so my first question is... is there a set order of doing things or can each task be taken individually? is there a website that has a step by step guide? im guessing my tasks are... air ,oil fuel filters fuel pump? change belt glow plugs? timing chain? change oil she also smokes a fair bit! someone shouted accross the cut one day ...quoted my engine perfectly and said my rubbers have gone, a common issue with the 1.5 bmc....does this mean anything to anyone? anyways...happy easter and thanks for your your time, jamie
