That first result must have sh*t you up! Really glad its all sorted and you are Aok now :) A non starting engine is nothing by comparison! A Thought : maybe the engine was starting on just the one remaining good glow plug till that also went (the others having died at various times in the past?).
Glad you have the all clear. As for the plugs. I'm no mechanic, but I'm pretty sure the fuel helps keep the plugs clean. If they don't get any fuel for a while they sort of just go dull - sort of like copper when it oxidizes. That'd explain why all three went at the same time. I only know that because I used to have RC cars and they had the exact same problem, you had to leave the tiny plugs in a jar of fuel. Talk about transferable skills!
Pleased all’s well on the health front Alan. Well done on the engine fix. I’d say you’re handier mechanic than you give yourself credit for. Take care.
So pleased the engine issues were an easy fix but more importantly that you are well and healthy! What a stressful time it has been for you. Sending you my best wishes 😊
Good news all round Alan. Are you still in the marina, I'm moored a couple of boats up from you, hopefully we can have a catch up before you leave. Regards Mike.
Glad that you fixed the engine problems and you are okay now. Love your videos.
Glad you like them!

Thanks, Lesley glad to say everything is now sorted and I am raring to get back to the cruising.
Glad you are ok and order a spare set glow plugs as may not get next time
That's a good idea, the set of four only cost me £20 which I fitted myself RCR wanted £380 to supply and fit them!
Sending good wishes 🙏
Thank you so much for your good wishes and support.
