Well said that man! :lol: Freddie19.

As I said its only a stop gap measure just to get it working until my new coil arrives. I am being very careful and switching the gas off when not in use! I did not say I didn't want to replace it with a modern boiler but now is not a good time so its easier to spend £40 to repair the...
