There is low gas pressure on the grill side, (not enough heat to toast cheese), ive had it all apart to see if there is a blockage, even lit gas at the burner. Oven side is great , no problems, any ideas please on why the pressure is low .

What i dont understand is that the bioler is only 7 years old , and the heating system was furnox protected, how can it happen? i thought boilers lasted yrs

its an ariston micro genius 23 mfi , ive only recently had the diverter valve replaced , that was leaking. now this. :(

Can these be repaired ? Or can i buy a recond. part, mine has gone and im looking at £130 plus vat. its the main exchanger , had water dripping down from the holes where the the igniters are, so im presuming its the exchanger.
