Help needed with potterton lynx please

Assuming that inc. VAT then that is high for that boiler.

Thats why I advised you to get someone who will come on a no-fix no-fee basis. That seperates the men from the boys.

Tony covers Middlesex. If he won't come he's just feeling young.

It is including vat .the boiler cost on the quote is £1122.18
I have found the same boiler for £714.00 including vat

 

[ChrisR]

Surely you don't begrudge them a profit on the boiler?

I don't begrudge ,but like the avarage joe ,i'm not made of money.
As for their labour charge i think i do .I have done many job's ,mainly in the motor trade,(garage) and know how it work's .That why i try to do most jobs myself(where possible)

I used to live in Middlesex until they changed it into Brent ! As far as I can gather Middlesex does not exist any more!!!

Sometimes when I wake up I dont feel too young.

I think Dan is the only regular on here under 45 !

Probably a silly question but ,,does anyone know where i an get a manual on this boiler?
I have tried in the plumbers shop but no luck.Also another silly question why can't you buy the gasket for the pump on its own

If you put your email in your profile you'll get a manual.
Partscenter do all the washers, they keep standard sized ones in little bags...

Heard of Hayes?

Yes, I know Heyes as I go there to repair boilers regularly! Down the A312 and turn right!

I also sometimes eat at the Heyes Tandoori although since it moved it is not so enjoyable.

Middlesex is no longer a "County" ! Your post town is Uxbridge and there is no need to include the word Middlesex in the address. You are in the Borough of Hillingdon, I think.

45 is an arbitrary age for someone who might have been well experienced with boilers when the first Lynx was first introduced and have had many years of repairing them. Of course someone working for Potty 10 years ago could also have lots of experience as well. Many engineers now view then as old and not worth repairing and try to say they should be replaced. Not all the parts are still officially available.
