Thanks soo much for your advice, really appreciate it! I'll start ringing around next week for quotes then, hopefully won't be too much : )

Doh is that a common fault with them then? Am I correct in thinking that it'll just need a standard baxi flue? I looked it up on Screwfix and Toolstation, it's about £105 + engineer labor

Ok thanks for the info. Horizontal, baxi platinum combi 28.

Thanks for replying. If the flue has a split in it, is it repairable or would it be best to change the whole flue? Do you think it might work out cheaper for someone gas safe to replace the whole flue rather than investigating for a faulty seal or a split?

Hi I've had a cp12 gas safe test done on my boiler and it's failed and he's capped off the boiler because he said that the combustion gases are mixing with the air intake. He's not told me what might be the issue though and I'm struggling to find anyone else referencing this as a possible fail...

Thanks for checking, that's good to know, i will try and adjust it right down and see what happens.

That's great to be able to rule the switch and sensor out. I'll take your advice on the PCB then and just bear with it if it needs to be switched on and off and isn't just the anti cycling and me being impatient that's the problem. Thanks so much for your help and quick responses!

That's good to know I will try and adjust it so that i don't have to wait so long for it to fire up again or not. Do you think that there is any chance of it being the safety switch 251822? or the NTC sensor? Also if it is the pcb's do you think that the problem is most likely dry joints? or...

Thats great thanks i'll check that to see if thats the problem. Although i have had my gf say that it was off for a few hours one time, but good to know i have to wait for it if i am testing it. I have read something about the screw on the front being used to adjust the anti cycling, is that...

Hi thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly. How long does it usually take for the anti cycling device to let it fire up again?

Hi I have a Vaillant vcw 242 eh, the hot water is working well on it and is getting up to a good temperature to flow rate. The problem i am having is with the central heating. When the thermostat is clicked on it fires up, but if you click it down and then click it back on again the boiler...
