Thanks Chris.
At least now I have a rough idea of what of the problem might be and how much it might cost me. Might not be as bad as I thought.

At the habit of repeating myself ...THANKS !!!!!
This is the first time I have used this forum and I am amazed by the response.

Thanks again.

I suppose I am just gonna have to bite the bullet call an engineer and have it...
My back boiler has recently started to make a banging noise when it fires up. It seems to run okay for a while, clicking on and off as normal to heat the water, but every now and then it will make a loud bang before it lights (the only way I can describe it is kind of like a mini explosion :? )...
