Hi there.
So many people on here with problematic Halstead boilers (and, thankfully, experts too).
I have a Sime Halstead 30/90 combi boiler (I think also known as a "Trio" in some places). Basically, the boiler won't light for DHW. If the boiler is ALREADY alight for central heating and you turn on a hot tap then you get hot water.
The flame doesn't go out or anything - keeps going quite happily.
The problem is that when you want hot water you have to wait for the heating to come on first (not the end of the world - but annoying all the same).
I've just had a heating bloke out who checked it over and said the divertor valve is fine - operates the microswitch OK but doesn't ignite the boiler. He checked over a few other things but couldn't identify the fault (and that cost £100!).
What do you think? Any ideas?
