No chance! It's going this week hopefully. The weird thing is is that the old boiler is working semi-okay again since I confirmed that it was going, I don't think it's scaled up or blocked or anything because scale and blocks don't come and go, but who cares, it's gonna be scrap soon!

Thanks for all your help. Had a chat with my other half tonight and whilst it might be a relatively cheap fix for the heat exchanger, we’re going to go with the new boiler as he’s sick of me going on about this one, I guess as it’s being ripped off the wall I can autopsy it and find out exactly...

We're in a soft water area, scale could be an issue but magnetite was present (small amount) in the pipe when it was drained for the diverter cartridge change. That's why we had the power flush done. I've done some more research this morning and there's a suggestion that this could be an air...

Thank you, the diverter cartridge was changed less than a month ago, could this be a dodgy part? This morning it's giving a bit of hot water again, on half-way it's hot-warm-lukewarm, but it's still firing the burner for a minute then off again and it doesn't seem to re-fire but not going to L9...

I'm at a bit of a loss here and need some advice. I know they're terrible boilers, it was in when we bought the house and it's been trouble free for 5 years, it's now showing it's age and being a right pain. As I say it's been absolutely fine up until a month ago when it stopped supplying hot...
