OP....why would the manufacturer lie????! Oh to annoy you i suppose......unless they are dealing with your fault (Heateam) they will tell you whats available from interpart and make only what is the mark up on any part sold to the supplier that buys it. And as your dealing with the person on the end of the phone it would take a monumental conspiracy and or price fixing cartell to rip off all customers who call in for advice......get real

Powell there might not do a spindle but simply cleaning it fixes it so yeah they are ripping him off by not telling him that it can be fixed for nothing(if thats the fault) as oppsed to spendin £70 plus on the valve

You'll be looking at a minimum of £60 + VAT for anyone to come out in the first place

In case you have both missed what this site is called let me remind you it has DIY in the title so unless seanmfc wants to charge himself for repairing his own boiler IF it is just a sticking spindle then its free.
