Hi, hope you don't mind me replying as I am not an expert, but I had a similar problem with my Potterton Lynx 2 boiler. Ours turned out to be low gas pressure (caused by a very slow gas leak!). The problem gradually worsened until we had no hot water at all. Got the gas leak fixed and...

Thank you both for your advice. Can I ask what a RGI (Registered Gas Installer?) is - sorry to be a bit dim. :) What would you consider to be a good boiler then? - if I am able to have any input regarding which boiler they fit? Regards, Fiona

Hi, I posted on here a few weeks ago about problems with my Potterton Lynx 2 boiler - what I didn't know then was that I had a gas leak (albeit a very small one). I ended up having a new part put on the gas meter and a huge hole dug at the front pavement and a new pipe inserted to increase the...

Just thought I would update you all. Turns out it was the gas pressure from mains that was the problem. I reported that I thought I could smell gas and sure enough we had a gas leak. I told the gasman a couple of things about the problems I was having and he suggested they increase the gas...

Thanks for such a quick reply Kevplumb. Your request has made me blush :oops: :wink: :) . So you think I might just get away with a new part, rather than a completely new boiler then - sounds good. I don't suppose you are located anywhere near London then? I need to get someone in quick...

Well only intermittently and we are having cold showers! I have a Potterton Lynx 2 boiler and it is about 13 years old (so done quite well!). It is a combination boiler and has 9 radiators running off it. Over the last couple of years it has seemed to be struggling a bit and then we had a...
