Thanks lifesagasman! I had actually considered doing some training and going down that path as i cant be jobless forever. It'd be worth doing just to get the self righteous commentors on here wound up!!

and I WILL get an engineer to calibrate the valve, to be on the safe side, if i can find a knowledgable one, but am still positive this won't cure the intermittent fault which I reckon is PCB related. Maybe someone could just have recommended I did this rather than bitching about what a...

Tony - I'm not going to give you my life story, but even when i was working, money was tight, and the other boiler was over 20 yrs old and was dead, it was a risk replacing with a 2nd hand boiler, but in my mind one worth taking - £100 for the boiler, and the same for my mate fitting with me as...

Qutoe: we all know the legality of gas work if you're not a 'competent person' but it's not right to call this guy a dangerous person. he might be very capable, we don't know. his corgi mate may have checked the work, we don't know. when i was 12 (many moons ago!) i worked in my dad's...

Well thats your opinion, advice or not I will be doing the work myself as I have no money due to redundancy. I agree perhaps i should have not replaced the gas valve, but i did so with guidance from an ex corgi reg'd friend - and this was done over 3yrs ago due to the original failing. As...

and when it cuts out, you have to turn power on and off, it wont restart itself - i would use the timer for this, so it turns off for a coupoe of times a day but it doesn't work - and they aint cheap either!

Hi - yes thats the bad boy! It will reset straight away after turning off for a while, but sometimes it will cut out agin very quickly, its like a temp related issue, but it doesn't ever thermal cut out. I notice when it cuts out, the green LED on the pcb goes very dim also, I have changed...

Thanks for your reply, i have not been on here for a while, but I do still have the problem - it only happens when the boiler has to wrok hard, then it will cut out - not nice when in the shower! As for the diagnostic you mentioned, well the boiler is a '98 model and only has 1 green led light...

just to say, when the boiler cuts out, you have to kill power for at least 10 seconds for the boiler to reset and work again

the air pressure switch seems to function correctly. When the boiler cuts out, there is no fan running thus the pressure switch wouldn't work

there is only a green on led, no other lights apart from the red trip neon. I have noticed however that when the boiler cuts out, the green led seems only slightly lit, and once the boiler is turned of for 10+ seconds then back on, the led is fully lit.

Hello all, I have a biasi 24s boiler that cuts out intermittently. There is no thermal cut out, and no error light. Sometimes the boiler will run for days before this happens,other times it may just run for an hour or so. It seems to happen more often when the boiler is working hard ie. when...
