Hi, I'm new to the forum & I was wondering if anyone out there can help ?
Basically, I need a new boiler because the old one starts to boil when it's running, resulting in the safety cut-outs cutting in & turning the gas off.
The thing is, I have a friend who knows someone who works for British Gas, who is willing to do the replacement as a guvvie job for only £50, as long as I supply the new boiler. The only thing he stipulated was that the new boiler would simply connect straight to the existing pipework, with no modifications required.
So, here's the question. Does anyone know what a Direct Replacement for a Myson Economiser would be ? I've tried looking on the manufacturers web-sites for pipework dimensions etc, to no avail & when I try to ask any local shops for any sizes, all I get is the standard "Must be fitted by a Corgi Engineer" & they won't give me any details.
If anyone can help me on this I would be grateful, as I have been getting quoted upwards of £1300 for the job, which is more than my current budget will allow. I can get a new boiler for about £600~£700 which with the fitting charge of £50 is a lot easier to swallow.
TIA - Shaky.
