I have a baxi solo 2 pf30 with what i can only describe as a helicopter whirring noise coming from the top of boiler which is very noisy also sounds like a scraping noise this is the first problem,the 2nd being every now and then the clicking on and off of the igniter trying to light the boiler this can take a couple of minutes i have noticed there is a split in the casing that houses the led lights and thermostat could someone please advise me i would be very grateful, thankyou

Another one , do none of you lot have to spend any time working

Both are corgi jobs as you need to break the gas train and the flue although nobody can stop you doing it yourself. Pilot is a right pain to change and the fan will need a new gasket.

Gas train, sounds ENORMOUS, do you have to have commercial ticket for this, dont use balfour they leave nuts loose and cause all sorts of problems, one being death.
