Bernard, Many thanks for your reply. That was all I was actually looking for. I can get the parts at cost plus 5% so it kind of makes a difference knowing which part is needed. If I was located in Bedford you would be receiving a call. Once again thank you.

Oh my. I should "have a change in career" really? Are you unable to read & comprehend my original post ? I clearly stated that the 3 port valve (18 years old) was faulty & passing water through to the CH hence why it was replaced The Cylinder stat was an old HTS3, which I replaced as it too...

I'm an electrical engineer so heating controls are bread & butter whereas boiler internals aren't, hence why I have a gas safe cert for when the boiler was moved as I don't touch gas.

Aqua, Forget pricing structures how long ball park in labour ? Parts ?

No I don't feel lucky at all, and judging by the responses on here it pretty much confirms my concerns. I very much doubt potential customers will be queing up to call. That's my last post on the matter.

That is now 3 responses & not one of you can give a straight answer to a question of exactly how much labour & parts I should expect to pay?

Really, so what else would equate to "1200 notes" ?

So one guy says "he knows what it is but can't say" Now your telling me the boiler is knackered Doesn't really portray your trade in a good light!!

Not having the benefit of being on the dark side! exactly how many hours labour & parts should we expect ?

Jeez I ask a straight forward question. I will be away whilst someone comes to look at the boiler problem leaving my wife to deal with it. Hardly an ideal situation as she doesn't have a clue about heating apart from wanting to be kept warm & washed daily in hot water hence my question I.e...

Most helpful thanks

Can Daniel or anyone point me in the right direction as to what my fault is ? So at least I can point the engineer in the right direction from the start & not managing to get my leg pulled :eek: along the way Cheers guys

Daniel, I'm trying to establish if I should just simply buy a new boiler as a new gas valve is £160 plus fitting & the boiler is 18 years old now, if it's a couple of quid for a new pilot / burner jet then I may as well run it until it finally packs up.

No checked the immersion heater & even pulled the fuse to totally eliminate that.

Hi Steelmasons, It doesn't have one fitted it was an optional extra
