Thanks again for your further info ( and link ) Followed John's Link, that looks like the beast.
Will take a few photo's and have a hunt around, at least I'm at my mooring so have a car to hand. Will check around for plumbing suppliers in the area, currently at Priory Marina Bedford, just had the river festival, failed to attend to due to faffing around with boat!, but heard it all from here and saw the fly-pasts Dakota looked good!. We can work around the prob for now, especially as we are moored. Thanks again for your help, if/when I see you remind me of the beer tokens ( selective memory ;-) ).
