That's your problem, expansion vessels aren't that expensive, I have come across heating engineers who not only inflate their call out charge, but charge 200% on materials!
It was for a older Worcester which I bought from plumb centre with my brother in law discount - still came in over a hundred quids .......I guess it depends on make and model

Griff make sure you are sat down for the price if you need a new pressure vessel- I have just fitted one in my daughters boiler it was quite a shock price wise .
my last boiler was a Worcester 24i which we had for around 21 years - I never had I serviced .i used to have a look through the burner window to see if the flame was nice and blue otherwise was told to leave it well alone and do its thing which is what I did apart from recharging the pressure vessel a few times .anyway after 21 years the mother board gave up and when the wife's brother who is a gas safe registered fitter looked it over it was decided to completely replace the boiler based on cost effectiveness.i replaced almost like for like and bought a new Worcester 24 green star but this time we had a filter fitted and because the brother in law is a worcester approved fitter we managed to get the warranty extended from 5 to 7 years ( providing I have it serviced annually) it's pretty good on gas also my bills have reduced and if I was every lucky enough to be given another chance at life the I would come back as a central heating engineer - it's. License to print money for what they charge

Just topped up with fuel and as advised by the garage who I called at this morning put in some Forte adatives as in their words supermarket fuel isn’t great.
John
use this product regularly to keep internal carbon build up at bay - i dont use supermarket fuel after spending many years delivering fuels i can tell its the bottom of the barrel stuff ,scaniaman is right on the money and when i was in the job many large fleet operators that fueled through their own pumps would request the fuel set to their own standard in terms of additives . ever wondered why you dont see many HGV fueling at tesco the difference of 5p a ltr cheaper is a massive saving on a large fleet

I don't know if this is blasphemy or such but would it not be worthwhile considering changing that teak on the upper deck to something of a vinyl type that is stuck down rather that something fixed down and can move all things considered

Well looked after good clean boats sell very well in the right place Mark ,when I sold my Hampton I put it up for sale on a Sunday afternoon with riverside - he came took the photos talked the deal went away and we set off home .........I got a phone call before we had crossed the county line " Sold " and at full asking price
my advice would be to try buy away from the broads but always sell on the broads
you may get your three grand back

She is a very smart clean boat and I can't help but wonder if it would be worthwhile bringing her back and sticking her with someone like waterside to avoid mooring fees ........something tells me that in the right place she will soon be sold

quite often overlooked but with regards driving in winter weather conditions being able to stop my vehicle safely is a major factor - its all fine and dandy using chains,socks and whatever but can you stop should you need too ?

In the event of an insurance claim the assessor will usually check that the tyre rating on the tyre is correct for that vehicle so thats important to get right . i personally run my 4x4 on all terrain tyres purely and simply because of where i live i used to swap to bridgestones run flats after the winter but considering i do very low mileage these days i dont bother . interestingly we got new neighbours a few years ago who bought a 4x4 Q7 thinking it would be the answer to all his problems in terms of bad weather and a snowfall at the first sign of any snow the dam thing was useless as it was fitted with sports tyres and he struggled getting it off a flat drive in a straight line - but when he put the right tyres on for the winter it became a different beast so i guess your usage is a vital factor when choosing what style of tyre on a 4x4 always remember .........you wouldnt go climb a mountain in a pair of house slippers .....and that's my outlook towards a tyres performance

In the HGV world many blue chip organisations will have a continuous rolling driver training program in place and its amazing how easy it is to slip into lazy habits that come to light whilst participating such courses and many of these drivers are accident free with thousands upon thousands of miles under the belt - for me there seems to be very little tolerance on todays roads and with the best planning in place a long journey can be a bit like rolling a dice
