Having spent months waiting for someone to tell me what was wrong with my boiler, I was informed it was my pump.
Having spent weeks hunting for the pump, i've found out it was a bodge job and there probably isn't a pump.
Having been informed that it wasn't the pump all along, but the PCB (Printed Circuit Board I believe?), I am told I have three choices:-
(Bear in mind I have apparently been ripped off by the "plumber" who fitted the Baxi 5 years ago, as he "fitted a new boiler to an old system without compensating-it's crap" (said the British guy who diagnosed the PCB prob))
1. Replace the PCB. Cheapest option by far but we want to stay in this house, so is it the sticking plaster on the amputated limb routine?
2. Get a regular system fitted, much more expensive than option 1, but better than lukewarm radiators and only enough hot water to fill a bucket we’ve had for the past 3 years.
3. Get a combi fitted. Most expensive, but we are staying in this house for quite a few years to come.
It’s a tatty three bedroom sixties-semi, 8 old rad’s, easy loft access. Another factor is we are skint as hell!
Discuss.
Cheers friendly DIYexperts and professionals, I await your advice.
