I suspect the problem with Hannah is two fold. 1. He had work done on rear bedroom that required removal of some pipework. It is a possibility that the person who did the work did not correctly tighten up the jubilee clips. 2. The owner does not do his own maintenance and I get the impression he leaves it to others. I also get the impression that he does not do any rudimentry checks before going onto rivers. The jubilee clip 'may' have been a bit on the loose side and slightly higher revs and some engine vibration may have cause it to come off. I did not like how his calorifier had been plumbed in anyway. Very short rubber hose (about 2 inches) with jubilee clip onto engine take off. Other end onto plastic piepwork held on with jubilee clip. Terry ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Check out the new improvements in Yahoo!
