Sounds interesting, but gone over my head. What are the implications of what you have determined in relation to my fault? Thanks.

Another phone call to the energy supplier (who supply the insurance) and I'm still waiting for their engineer to either support or challenge the BER. What I mean by sensitive is the boiler seems to be sensitive to a pressure fault in the past. The previous engineer 12 months ago sorted the...
