My Perkins M30 has developed a problem. It runs ok out of gear, but under load at around 1500 rpm it started to sound very noisy and has developed a strange surging sound, the rubber end caps on the heat exchanger swell and contract in tune with the surging. Coming in from a trip yesterday I...

This morning my Perkins tick over started to drop then it picked up to normal. Then after a long run when we were back at tick over a knocking noise started. I stopped the engine and checked it over but all seemed good. Then on restart the knocking had disappeared. I did notice what I took to be...

I have small black spots on curtains only on windows I left cracked open for ventilation during the winter. I have tried washing on hot and spraying with mold remover then washing but they are still there. I have also tried soaking overnight in white vinegar, but they are still there. I have run...

Would anyone know where I could get spares for this pump please? It's leaking and I believe the O rings have hardened.

I have decided to change my leaking injection pump for one I know is good from a doner engine. In the book it says the gasket or shim is responsible for the fuel timing. Would a different pump require re timing or can I use the old shim? Engine is a Perkins M30 It's either this or leave the old...

I have a leak from this. I have been told to take the injection pump out and replace the rubber seals on each of the outlets. I can't find anything online on how to do this, has anyone carried out repairs on this? I would appreciate any pointers. Thanks

Hi I have just discovered my 'new' engine doesn't have a sump plug. The only way to get the old oil out is suck it out. I have the pump and some plastic pipe. My question is does the suction pipe go inside the dipstick pipe or over the outside Thanks.

Hi my ten year old CP180 is functioning fine, only thing playing up is the log. It just stopped logging the miles, it might log 2 miles for every 12 sailed. I have tried to re set it but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

Is there any difference between marine grease and ordinary grease?

Edit. Found it,1988 vintage

I have used this in the past and it is very good, but at nearly 30 quid a pop it's a bit expensive,and I need 3 tubes for my boat, possibly 4. Are there cheaper alternatives that actually work? I don't want to use oxalic acid. Thanks.

My Perkins M30 runs fine, but every now and then it changes tone for a few seconds, the revs don't drop but it just sounds like they do then it sounds normal again. I have changed the filters and made sure there is no air getting in, also it's clean fuel It might not happen all day. I am at a loss

Could I use these on my fuel filter bleed nut? It's says you can use with fuel but it doesn't say which fuel,m

Beware...my partner picked me up from this car park while our boat was there for a few days. It is controlled by cameras and she waited ten minutes for me. £100 reduced to £60. Buy a ticket, even for pick up

It does this. I think the new mounts might be too soft. Any recommendations. I can't remember what it did with the old mounts. The new ones are 45 shore as recommended by parts for engines

I took ours off and it's clogged up with hard black deposits. I don't want to damage the elbow by chiseling it out. Can it be soaked in something to make the deposit softer?

Our generator packed in today, it made a funny noise and stopped. It wouldn't turn over. I stripped it down and it looks like something off the head where the injector sits fell into the cylinder. A squashed piece of metal. So the con rod is bent, the piston is damaged and the head is also...

My Perkins heat exchanger filler cap holder is corroded around the base, it looks like it's rusted through in one place. The inside brass? Iooks ok. Any ideas how to repair this? No leaks so far
