The above boiler has stopped working. No lights on it at all. Pump etc. seems to get going when timer comes on. Has anyone any idea what the problem could be. Looking at instruction book seems not to be a boiler problem, but more that there is no electricity to it. The programmer etc. light up. If I remove fuse from spur point it all goes off and comes back on when fuse returned. Expansion tank is in loft so have not been up to look at it.

Sorry to sound ignorant, but where abouts is the 5 pin plug?
Is the PCB the "brain" that runs it?

5 pin plug is on the left hand side as you look at the boiler and yes the pcb is the brain, only Ideal don't make very reliable brains!!
good little boilers these apart from the pcb once you fit a v9 you should be ok for 3 years

Good boilers if fitted by proffesionals, yes pcb's are dodgy, but once changed all will be good in the cosmos yea maybe 3 years maybe more, can you say the same for your car telly washing machine interest rate house price chines takeaway stock prices, yes life is one long disappointment, life's a bitch.

spot on mate.
3 years!! I've had a floor standing Ideal boiler for 18 years without failure; likewise an Ideal wall boiler (also not condensing) for 9/10 years with no problems at all.
To have something keep failing every 2 or 3 years strikes me as appalling.

yeah the icos and isar are utter carp, they forget to mention the other problems with the boiler and it does not matter how well they are fitted, they are junk
