He was clearly bullshi**in you about parts not being available. Parts are easily obtainable. You were lucky that the 1st engineer chickened out of servicing your boiler, there is a real issue with Engineers being very reluctant in servicing the IMI Range Powermax boilers. Might be...

If you want answers poking fun at a problem post on here ??? If you can't provide sensible answers, why not fill your time with something worthwhile ?? Unless that is not an option of course....

What great expert help.....

Hi All, We have a Powermax135 boiler, which is now operational, after many months of hassle. I have a bolt connection that fits onto the main body of the boiler, from the cold/hot water feed on the DHW hot water side, which is leaking profusely, but we cannot loosen off the bolt at all ...

Ok, thanks for the advice. If I went for the Ecotec 831 what would be a fair price to pay (supplie & installe) ??? As a guide figure only. Thanks,

The house is a 2 bedroom semi-detached property with one bathroom only Thanks,

Hi All, I am due to replace the boiler from hell, namely the IMI Range Powermax 135. What would be the best combi boiler to get, in todays market ? Thanks for your help.

Hi, We have quite severe condensation on our windows every morning. The pitched roof we have is well ventilated and the loft space insulated with quilt. We also have an extractor in the bathroom that we use. Is the only solution to use a de-humidifier ??? Thanks,

Hi, We are about to replace our boiler. Can you offer your opinions on a good sound boiler to go for, we have a 2 bedroom semi-detached, 2 bedroom property with x5 radiators. The Vaillant range seem a good bet ?? But which model is best suited for me ? Thanks,

In my opinion, the best option is to apply bitumen based membranes, by torch applied application. With lead abutment flashings 150mm above finished roof level. They are robust and last years if applied properly. Regards,

Hi, I would recommend a felt finish membrane also. It is far more robust than single-ply products, and is more cost effective than lead by far - and less desirable to thieves !! It depends on cost, but Bauder Ltd provide the best bitumen based membranes on the market, but obviously they...

Hi All, What are your opinions on Powermax boilers please ? I am referring to the 135/155 range of units, which are about 10 years old approx. I've had lots of probs with my 135, and am planning on replacing it now. Thanks,

Hi SimonD, I assume you mean 'wouldn't describe it as a classic. I happen to think its one of the finest boilers ever produced, so efficient and easy to deal with LOL

Thanks very much for your help everyone, I now have the part I need to mend this classic Powermax 135 boiler. Such a result :) Cheers,

Ollski, I was expecting someone to simply say 'Yeah I have one of those exact pipes spare in the garage' and send it to me by Monday morning. But obviously that's not gonna happen.....

TwGas = STILL no help

Hi, anyone else able to shed some light on this problem ? Thanks,

Ok BaxPoti thanks for your comments, anyway. New boiler for me then....

Hi BaxPoti, thanks for your reply. The part we need is actually a pipe assembly (10mm dia pipe) which runs vertically up the boiler in a kind of 'S' shape, not the gas valve. I doubt we'll find it anyway.

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me out ? We have an old Powermax 135 boiler (maybe 15 yrs old) and it has had various problems, but currently we need to replace the blend valve, some pipework and the gas assembly pipe - due to leaks. We have found the gas assembly pipe (part P582) to be...
