Boiler packed up last Monday, had the Baxi engineer out last Wednesday, a seal had apparently gone, causing some damage. Now they tell me that they won't have one of the parts in stock until the 16th January. Meantime we are shivering, with no heating or hot water. They say they'll happily come and make the repair if I can find the part(they have all the others), but so far, after calling 5 or 6 places, I've had no luck. The part is a Potterton/Baxi 5114693 Combustion chamber front.
If anyone has any idea where I can find such a part I would be eternally grateful, in fact I'll happily pay a ransom, as we are supposed to have a full house at Christmas, including my 8 month old granddaughter.

The old image I can find for this part number:

Looks like it's just the inner cover(of course that web site could be wrong), but if that IS the part, then there appears to be nothing wrong with it apart from the fact that it needs a new sealing strip. I am concerned that we will be living like cave people for 6 weeks for the sake of a sealing strip.

This company says 24hrs delivery? Might be worth giving them a ring.

Yep, already tried them. Out of stock.

Baxi are now saying that they've found one in a Plumb Center nearby, and will pick it up and fit on Friday. Quite why they couldn't have done of that last Wednesday, I don't know.

At least it looks like you might get your boiler fixed before Christmas.

Good Luck

While it probably is just the sealing strip, it is essential to your saftey. And the Baxi lad quite righghtly may not be able to leave the boiler on with it in bad condition.

Its a shame, but some boilers you can buy just the strip, some require the case front. Just your luck.
