Hi,
I have an old Ideal Mexico RS 40/60 running on a single pipe system and both the heat exchanger and burner have had it. I've had loads of opposing views from different local plumbers and even BG about whether we can put a new boiler on the system or have to run a new two pipe system through the whole house.
BG and a few of the locals think a Mexico HE would work fine but most of the independents I've spoken to say it would be against building regs as can't fit effective thermostats to single pipe.
I've tried getting the parts I need to repair the boiler for months now as that would be the easiest option but just can't find the burner.
Can anyone tell me definitively: Is it possible to put a new boiler onto a single pipe system without upgrading it? And is there anyone here in the South-West who fancies coming to have a look at it?
PS - even better would be anyone who has an old RS40/60 burner lying around they want to get rid of!!
Thanks.
