yep sorry bout that, read it wrong somehow though it was a flowmax for some reason :oops: i'll stand in the corner and face the wall.

yeah go for it, keep the fire brigade informed though :D

hi neil these are not a normal boiler as you know them, you need to get a powermax aware/trained engineer to check them over i look after plenty of these and there are certain things needed to be checked,tread carefully mate

ABSOLUTELY AND SPOT ON TG.

was it only your lights or sockets as well? if it tripped sockets etc then its a good chance the element or wiring to it is breaking down and it will happen again which will have to be sorted, if it was only lighting then you have a problem as 3kw elements and 1.5mm cable dont mix well :shock:

thats exactly what it is ! scale inside a rough cast floor standing heat exchanger.
