Wo, any boiler....that's impressive Agile!

What I mean is if it cannot be repaired due to the parts no longer being available or it being so bad, ie ots of parts need replacing

That's true.... I suppose there are some people out there who are like that. I don't know how he'd benefit..... maybe by me doing the donkey work? :)

Well I'm from W London and would be willing to shadow a boiler engineer in the West london area. I'd even be their slave! :)

Thanks terrence for your help mate - I'll take a look on ebay then :) Would love to get a few and take them apart. Have you been on any boiler manufacturer's courses or got any good boiler fault finding dvd's/books?

Thanks for your help I have searched online for some manufacturer's training - BAXI have a few courses and Vaillant too, Vaillant said I could attend with CCN1, and CEN1. I am not gas safe reg at the moment. I have also found a Mr Combi 1 day training course which seems very good. Have...

Sorry, I am gas qualified: CCN1, CEN1, CKR1, HTR1, WAT1 and CPA1 and have had a portfoli. I did some work with some gas safe plumbers, mainly CP12's, Servive's and installs about 18 months back.

Hello all Over the past year or so I have been learning a bit about boilers, how they work/components/fault finding logic. I have a few DVDs and a few books that I have been learning from. I have been doing some plumbing work, just in my house, for my family and a few friends, over the...
