Bugger. I was hoping you'd come back and say "Agile is the most revered person here and yes, what he says is right - it's a simple job that'll cost you £2.50" Anyone know of a good engineer in the mid glamorgan area, one who has a massive stock of calorifiers and a dirt cheap rate? :cry:

I'll just keep my fingers crossed that it's simple and maybe the hot water sensor. I can only hope. Do you think that's what Agile was thinking when he first posted? :

Thanks for that information namsag. Would you have any idea how much a new calorifier costs, and roughly what sort of sum an engineer may charge to fit it? Christ, I've just had a quick google and the first site I found selling calorifiers, shows costs between £300 and £600, is that right...

I thought I'd explained the symptoms in my post. I apologise if I used the wrong abbreviations in my original post: Essentially: Whenever I turn on the domestic hot water, after a couple of minutes, the boiler gets very hot and the pilot light and burners shut down, which turns off the...

Thank you for the reply, Tony. What solutions would you generally recommend for the overheating?

HeatSlave 9.24 BF 47 311 02 Problem with my heatslave combi boiler. Whenever I draw the DHW, within a couple of minutes the pilot light and burners shut down, which turns off the DHW and CH. The gas supply to the cooker remains unaffected. A plumber mate is going to have a look but asked...
