Hi. The Marshall Roller that was on Berribrook was owned by a couple on the island. Very pretty but under the paint there is work to be done in the near future. I used to take it out when Den Phillips here on the island owned it and a new box will be reqiured soon. Yes it is sold now and gone up country.

Keith

Is it true its down to 140PSI?

I know top gear is a fair bit lower than mine, but I bet it barely pulls itself along

I'm not so sure Hedd. When our S was in Ireland it was set to 140 and for a few years, up to it's next hydraulic, we toodled around at that and never had any real problems. It wasn't until we'd got her back to full pressure that we realised it had been bit thirsty and hungry before.

Dont know about now but when i was useing her there was no restriction on her and trundled along at a good lick.
You had to go well so you could get to the next water stop as there were more holes in the tender than in my garden sieve.
