Hi folks, boiler has started to occasionally fire-up and run for a few seconds and then cut out.Switching power off/on has so far resulted in it starting OK (sometimes it takes a couple of off/ons). Then it runs Ok for a couple of days before problem happens again. Any suggestions/advice would be gratefully received. Thanks Keel.

I assume that this is a boiler which has not been serviced lately?
Since there could be so many causes of your problem my advice would be to call a competent CORGI engineer who will be able to perform checks and assess the most likely cause of the problem.

HI just had same prob myself, and just cost £300 ( AND MINE SERVICED EVERY YEAR ) IT starts with the fan and condenser cost about £150- 185 then fitting .... I got a good deal at £300 for new fan and igniter pcb supplyed and fitted with a corgi reg heating engineer

Since the fan and ignition PCB cost at least £260 its difficult for me to believe that any CORGI would be fitting these for just £40.
If it was £300 plus VAT then its just conceivable.
Otherwise I have to expect that it was a dodgy deal with the £300 going to the CORGI and the parts stolen from his employer.
However, I think British Gas and possibly Worcester will do boiler repairs at a fixed price of aroung £210 including parts.

why do you some of you,se guys always have to be so negative not every problem needs to have corgi engineer.how do you no its not had a service.people are given you symptons of there problems for some advice to fixing it.if your not going to be helpful dont answer.if its not gas related you dont have to be corgi reg 
You are now showing your lack of knowledge about gas matters.
The fan is part of the gas combustion process and as such should only be replaced by a competent CORGI.
The little tubes on the fan are also part of the safety protection built into the boiler.

Stucky, when uz the regulars here, who do this work day in day out, very often when a poster pens his problems on these pages, regulars 'see' things a diyer or an occasional dabbler might not be aware of.
Furthermore, are you suggesting one and all in this fair land get their boiler serviced every birthday? Clearly obvious you are either a dabbler or 'a heating engineer' in his prime.
