job done. thanks for the help. saved me £100 at least

Right then, I've ordered a new part. I guess I should turn the machine over to replace it, my hands are too big to get into that space - or is it impossible to get the big plastic frame off the bottom to access it? It was tricky enough just trying to work out how to get the front panel.

Hmm, ok so you're saying I'll cause trouble if i keep turning it off? @picasso - thanks for the info - so it is a fan? It sounds old! Whatever. This raises the question though why is the boiler silent when the CH is on? (most of the time, just not when it's actually heating water) So I...

Just rented a flat in London which has a Vokera Excell SP80 combi boiler. It does what it's meant to do, hot water and now we're trying out the central heating but there's one thing that doesn't seem right and that's when the central heating is off. It sounds like a fan just running the...
