Comustion chamber cover not boiler cover. An electrician doesn't need to go in there ( CCC) to change a timer.

Why anyone who isn't qualified in some way would go in there is,frankly,beyond me. There are some boilers ( Positive fanned)that could potentionally kill you if you open up the cumbustion cover and only someone familiar with these boilers should open them up.

That's what I thought but on the prog they clearly showed just the boiler cover being removed and they then said "that's illegal".... scaremongering then? or factually incorrect programme using incorrect advice from the "expert".

Exactly, its part of a users guide to remove the cover to light the pilot.

IMO the program was wrong.
perhaps we ought to be writing to them & complaining about it

There is some sort of comment about it on the corgi site

I've never seen a users guide which advises removing 'the cover' to relight the pilot.

Which cover are you referring to and can you provide a link to the user guide?

Thanks.

On my Worcester 9.24 you have to remove the cover to light the pilot.
Have you never come across a combi boiler that required that?

We are talking the front cover here, NOT the combustion chamber cover.

Here is a quickly found example. See page 2.

Thanks for clearing that up and actually no on most combi boilers the user controls don't require removing any cover.

Have you ever removed the front cover on any Vokera boiler ,for example?

I doubt very much that yer 'average punter' ,who can't even tell you the make and model of a particular boiler,could get one off and on again far less remove a cover to light a pilot. Most of them don't have clue how to fill the heating system on a combi far less light a pilot

from memory iam sure all the case's that was removed in the programme did form some sort of seal and wasn't just a cover. the valliant is a room sealed appliance if ya remove the front cover it is breaking the seal between the room and the outside air. and as i remember the boiler where the siren went off was a positive pressure glowworm fuelsaver which can be dangerous if not checked properly

Spot on, and the way them vaillants and glowworms leak from the hx seals the front cover is a crucial seal.
