    Lidl Parkside drill bits

    You may be surprised but these are brilliant! £7.99 for a set of fifteen. Needed to drill some 2mm stainless. Started with a 3mm pilot then straight in with an 8mm. Both went straight through without any lube' pulling off curls of swarf. I was pleasantly surprised to say the least!

    After the post mentioning that there were few projects being posted and the recent listing for the Sailrite sewing machine in the for sale section (not mine!) here's a quick look at the sunbed and seat cushions I made last year using my basic Chinese Sailrite look-a-like machine.

    Last ever Dek-King installation?

    As you will know, WIlks sold the rights to Dek-King to (I believe) Flexiteek. In the meantime I had a stock of original Dek-King awaiting installation (for several years). When I got round to it (now!) I found I was a bit short as we had used some on another boat in the shed. However, Chris at...

    V G T Turbo query

    I understand how they work and what they do but this is the first engine I have owned that is fitted with one. My query is, should the actuator lever move when the engine is revved off load as when I rev this brand new Vetus 250vf there is a loud air whooshing sound as the revs increase. This...

    New Detroit Diesel V71 Injectors

    I have been asked to sell these injectors for a friend. 10 are brand new and three are lightly used. I believe they were supplied for industrial use so whether there is any difference (or even if they are actually used for marine duty) I don't know. I was thinking of £400 each for the new ones...

    Brand new Osculati stainless steel port and starboard light set.

    Bought from ASAP in 2017 and never fitted. Unfortunately I never checked them on arrival so when I opened them I found the port light was partly blackened inside the bulb compartment. It must have left the factory like that as they obviously should be waterproof. Works perfectly though. Current...

It looks to me as if they have created a new drying basin off the river with gated entrance to the pontoons and water and electricity. Has anyone been...
