Yes well quite, Dave - if the lead isn't getting the spark to a visible place ...
But nixso
Most recent was a Puma.
They'd taken it on around December when it went wrong, sized fan. They oiled the fan and it seized again about 2 weeks ago. Their man went, and made a list of "defects", and declared the boiler unfit for contract and payments would be stopped thereafter.

They DO really do that. Frequently often and a lot. Often preceded by a phrase llike "it could go at any time".they cant really do that. they will either refuse it on the first visit or take it on and maintain it as long as they are told to by the customer. they can only really cancel if the customer refuses to take remedial action that has been suggested if it is continually costing them money. id never seen it happen in my 6 years.

- Prv pipe not correct - it needed turning back to the wall
Compartment vents NTSC. - They were fitted, the wood behind the grill needed cutting out as there were only drill holes.
Leaking AAV - True
Fan seized - well yes
Leak from boiler - yes, temp sensor, needed doing up
Gas pipe undersized - no it isn't, and the meter's about 2ft away, and since he couldn't run the boiler to fid out, how...???
Needs descaling - really? Never come across a Puma round London which did, and the flow's OK, and there's no kettling...
And there was also a 630mA slow-blow fuse in the pcb in place of the 2A. You know what happens if you do that? - COULD GO AT ANY TIME.
