lol, I'm rapidly coming to this conclusion! Ah well, there's always the wedding to cheer us up!

cheers, pm'd.

Crap, think the switch has gone again ALREADY! Didn't last long.. :cry: If I disconnect the DHW flow switch again, boiler works fine on CH and no other clicking sounds. Based upon this, is it really the DHW flow switch causing the issue again or could this be some other...

Well a slightly embarrassing admission here - the clicking sound was actually my fault. When I took the burner cover off to check the APS, the mains leads (blue and brown wires) on the top motor/fan/whatever the hell it is(?) transformer were cable tied to the APS pipes and when I pushed the...

Woohoo! I've fixed the boiler! :o I decided to take apart that DHW flow switch and would you Adam and Eve it it was fouled-up with limescale bigtime. Believe it or not, the diaphragm and seal were totally intact with little sign of wear, but the pin felt a bit sticky. All around the...

a) I didn't tell the bloke about the landlord until well after the 'diagnosis' b) I'd gladly pay for a PROPER diagnosis up front c) I'd be paying for the work myself in any event since the agreement I made with my landlord was for me to pay for the work and then deduct that from the...

The irony is that I DID call someone out initially, as my landlord agreed to pay for the repairs. However the bloke that turned up was absolutely ****e. He stood there pressing the 2 buttons, scratching his head and then asked to borrow MY screwdriver. After 10 minutes of pressing buttons he...

Still trying to find all the parts for this... So far have located S801199, but that is just the switch. According to these threads...: //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=51746&start=0 //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1415181 ...I need a brass cover, gland...

I'm starting to wonder if there are in fact several faults with this thing. I'm gonna do the switch next since it is a known problem and has never been replaced (and is severely corroded) and it's a cheap part and will just go from there. No idea why it does that, but it is what it is...

You Sir are a genius! I disconnected the DHW flow micro switch and the CH works perfectly. Radiators heating up nicely, no overheating and no cutting out (although one of the relays seems to be objecting to the switch 'missing' and is clicking away frantically - but in much more of a rhythm...

Hi Gasguru, thanks for the reply. Truth is, I don't know for absolutely definite that pcb is any good, but it was sealed in an anti-static bag and hadn't been opened. It came in the original box as a kit with the thermistor and looks new to the naked eye.. but I had to take a chance on it as...

Poxy thing! It's doing weird things now... Right, if I leave it off for a while (say 2 hours) and then fire it up, the burner comes on immediately, whether a HW tap is on or not and whether I switch it to either mode (CH or DHW) or not. I hear the water get hotter and hotter (at this point...

It's hard to describe, but essentially the ignitor clicks on as soon as I turn the boiler on and it starts to heat the water. Basically, the default light which comes on is the bottom green light which is CH and DHW combined. So I initially thought i'd cured it with the new pcb, but then the...

Hi folks! Just to let you know, I am not a heating/plumbing engineer, merely your average Joe with a boiler problem. However, I have been an IT engineer for nearly 20 years and I'm very handy on the electronics side of things (have a decent multimeter and good at diagnosing electronic faults...
