Ok... I live about 500 miles away from my mother, she has 3 star cover from British Gas, which I life having as my mother is a bit vulnerable so prepared to pay extra if it means whoever comes out to fix it for her will get it fixed or die trying.
Hot water comes out of all taps at a good temperature, but from the bath tap it runs hot for a minute and then comes out very lukewarm.
We called out British Gas, but he reckons it's a plumbing problem as all the other taps are fine, even slowing down the flow rate didn't seem to fix it either.
I'm a bit skeptical, so I'm thinking of getting a plumber to check it out, but if it is the boiler, get them out again for a second bite of the cherry, but if they still insist it's the tap, get another gas fitter out to fix it or confirm if it's the boiler or not, if it is the boiler I want BG to pay for it as I think giving them nearly £400 a year they should have been able to spot it.
Has anyone ever been able to get reimbursed by them in a similar situation?
I'm thinking it's something like the diaphram as I've read of people gaving similar issues.
The boiler is nearly 10 years old and looks similar to the Worcester Greenstar 24i in that it has the same manual timer and not a digital one.
P.S. I don't really want someone to die trying to fix a boiler..... just give it a serious go.
