Sunday 23rd August 2020 at Great Haywood.
After the Big Breakfast in the café with Angela and Stuart, R went off to the Anglo Welsh base to see if they had an engineer who could take a look at MM's engine. Fortune smiled on us when a very cheerful chap called Ben came to take a look. Leaving a trail of diesel smoke behind us, R manouvered MM into Anglo Welsh's service dock where Ben set to work.
It rapidly became apparent that the diesel injectors were siezed and not delivering fuel as they should. Luckily, Ben had a spare set of injectors and after checking the water trap (which was dry) and replacing the fuel filter, the engine started up as sweet as ever.
In the middle of this process, Angela and Stuart brought their two boats in for fuel, so we were able to wish them all the best as they headed south and said that we hoped that we might catch them up as we were heading the same way.
Our luck continued when we found that our original mooring was still free, so back we went and moored up confident that our troubles were behind us.
