we live in lyneham, wiltshire

had another engineer visit today and can you believe that the boiler started just before he got here, anyway he said he thought the gas valve was fine as the boiler had started but said that it was not running correctly when the hot water was on and kept trying to inginte so i would need a new...

yeah it was the inlet pressure he checked. think i will call around a few engineers tomorrow, the thought of going the whole weekend with no hot water or heating and two young children is not good.
