As an update to this, I contacted Steve Loyd who supplied me with a replacement antenna at a reasonable cost. I've only just got round to trying it due to circumstances but pleased to say that it now works just fine. Happy days!
Thanks for the heads up Belch, this is the beauty of this forum- people helping out just because they can!

Brilliant!, thanks.

Hi all.
Some help needed if anyone could possibly help me out please. I have a sb3 which has served me well for some time but developed a problem with one of the hoppers not opening up. Now I know that carptechnics have ceased trading so I decided to have a go at repairing it myself. I managed to carry out the repairs ok ( there was a broken stranded wire on the release mechanism).
I've rebuilt the boat but somehow, stupidly lost the external antenna during the process. I've ordered a replacement which is slightly different but been told it will do the job.
For the record- the original was a longish but flexible job. The newer one is shorter and rigid (albeit with joint near the bottom).
I can now steer the boat and use the hopper release from the handset but when I come to use any of the preset coordinates in my toslon x pilot unit, the boat sets off in what appears to be the correct direction and I can see the distance (in mts on the handset) counting down but when it gets approx 10 mts away, the distance reading stops counting and I eventually get a “radio link failure” error message.
It seems likely to me that the problem lies with the antenna but I just cannot identify one online anywhere.
It's obviously possible that the antenna isn't the problem but any help/suggestions gratefully received.
T. I. A.

I'm finding lots of braided hoses, it's finding the correct one that's proving a problem. It might be just as well to get a new stove I guess

Yes mate, know what you re saying. It's just an emergency brew at the waters edge to get me thru todays session and then I'm done with it. It's not a massive flame round the hose tbf but you never know.

Hi all
The braided hose on my Bulin T4 has developed a leak at the stove end. It's a bit worrying to see it take flame and is also obviously costing me in gas. It appears to have threaded connections at either end so I'm guessing that it is replaceable but a google search hasn't turned up any results so far. Does anyone know if this is actually possible and where I might be able to get a replacement from?
Just for the record- I'm brewing up outside the bivvy for now!

Hi Ken. Any other time we wouldn't be considering putting it up for offer mate. We searched a long time to find our ideal venue and have had to wait roughly 18 months only to be in this situation. Gutted is an understatement. Lots of people going thru a similar thing tho I guess.
Pleased to hear you ve had both vaccinations. Forwards and on eh?

Just putting out feelers here and this is probably a long shot but would anyone be interested in buying a weeks holiday at Armfield Anglings secret garden venue in France, week commencing 12 June this year.

Obviously things are still a bit uncertain regarding travel to France at this time but I'm just trying to get a feeling for if anyone would be interested should they be allowed to travel.

This holiday has been booked for roughly 18 months and we are keen to go but the serious illness of a family member has made the possibility of going questionable.

Private message me please if you are interested or for further details
