We complete the purchase of a new house on friday this week.
We had the cleaners in the new house on Tuesday in preparation for this friday's move and at this point noticed that the boiler had or has had a slight leak that's left a rusty mark on the carpet below the boiler. The house has been empty for the last 6 months so the boiler has not run in this period. The gauge on the pressure accumulator in the airing cupboard showed that the system was still pressurised but that's as far as i was able to get my father in law to look at via the phone as i'm working away.
Is this boiler prone to any specific faults that might have caused this like a cracked condensate trap etc? I'm going to try and get a plumber in this afternoon or tomorrow morning to look at the boiler but i'd be very interested to know if there are any known faults with this make and model of boiler.
