Hi would like some advice about my broken boiler please. Its a swiftflow 80 approx 13yrs old. It started making an occasional rapid clicking noise over the last few days and then stopped firing up the main burner when there was any demand from heating or hot water. A fitter came out under insurance and replaced the pcb but it still isn't working. He left and rang to say boiler isn't covered by insurance as over 10yrs old so wont be coming back!! The fan unit was relaced 1yr ago as it was noisy. Another fitter came out and said it was not worth repairing and he could swop it for a worcester 30 for £1700 plus vat! - sounds dear?
As the pcb and fan are new the pilot light stays on and the solenoid on main gas valve is clicking in and out with ch and dhw demand (all wiring connections look sound) any ideas? Repair or replace? Fair quote?
Thanks for any advice given.
