Hi everyone. I've used this forum a lot in the past but this is the first time I've posted.
I have a Potterton Puma 80e which broke down at the weekend. Called a plumber recommended by a friend who diagnosed that the Full Sequence Board had gone. Replaced board & replacement board immediately blew. Plumber blamed the gas valve and recommends a new boiler.
Now a few questions:
- Can the gas valve on these just instantly fry the Full Sequence Board? Seems a pretty rubbish design.
- Is the plumber at fault here? I'm down the cost of the fried board and his labour, with nothing to show for it.
- Would you replace this boiler or persevere with it?
Thanks loads for any help. This forum is invaluable.
