My boiler pressure is continually creeping up and I know that it is not the filling loop as I have disconnected it so I am assuming that it is, unfortunately, the heat exchanger (being damaged / perforated).
Now I had a new heat exchanger fitted in October 2010 - It was fitted by British Gas on their fixed price £168 one -off thingy which I thought was reasonably priced at the time but I am now thoroughly miffed that the thing appears to have only lasted just over a year.
British Gas guaranteed the work for 1 year but that has now expired as it has been about 15 months but I have now been made aware that there is quite a well known consumer law suggesting that
"a two-year guarantee applies for the sale of all consumer goods everywhere in the EU (Directive 1999/44/EC). In some countries, this may be more, and some manufacturers also choose to offer a longer warranty period."
Has anyone ever heard of this 2 year thingy and, if so, have you ever heard of it being applied in terms of central heating boilers and components
