keston 170

[jackiemil1]

Thank you for all your replies.My Keston has had everything replaced .new mother board, new heat exchanger, new activation lead,new pump,new overheat stat and the list goes on and on.
The machine drives me to the bottle (well it would if I drank!!)and therefore that is why I am going to try and sort out a new boiler after xmas.
Having read everybody's kind advice I am going to really think it through properly.
I long for my old potterton boiler!!never had a moments trouble

sounds like you have had the misfortune of a parts changer rather than an engineer.

well ive been on one today.


eng out last week... spark trode bust.

eng calls back finds low water pressure switch leaking.

calls back fires up boiler, finds flue outlet cracked and passing poc at flue outlet elbow.

we come back today to fit a new heat ex, pooprly packed with lower water pipe bent, bend that back to shape and find the new flue outlet is ****ed. now a further journey tommorrow for mupv pipe connectors.


what sort of manufacturer makes their flue non removeable/repairable without replacing a ££££££ heatexchanger.

bag o ****e

plus the thermal fuse that shoud etect this faild to shut down the boiler. my last customer with this fault fortunately had a co detector. it picked up the fault 2 rooms away andnstill the fuse didnt blow. now all k=my keston owners must have a cod if they want my name on the job.
