You will be lucky if you get the burner out without any of the screws snapping off.
Good luck

they do have a tendency of round off on the thread too
git of a job
bring some high temp silifome too
check the pilot solonoid.
I was going to say that. Have had about 3 on Classics go open circuit once warmed a bit, working again when cooled down. Much slower cycles than yours though.
How fast does it go on and off? Is it regular and unending?
FLame detection probe moving when hot?
Move everything a bit and see if it changes!

thanks fitz and chris for replying
it is almost instantaneous chris on/off/on and as for when it does it its really spasmodic not pattern at all
I did check the probe and its in good condition how do I check movement in it while the boiler is working?
I did press of the pcb connectors tight and it stopped doing it but its back

Hi
I know sod-all about boilers, but I just thought I'd mention that mine had the same symptoms a while back.... used to suddenly click like crazy and always seemed to happen around 8pm when the boiler had been on since 7pm.
Called BG engineer and it turned out it was the mechanical timer - you know the kind with little segments that you push in/pull out to set?
New timer solved the problem.
I don't suppose it's that though..
