why are they crap ? or sulking because of the price ?

ok which boiler would you for worcester or the glow worm.

Which one would you go for personally i hear good about worcester and yes i've spoke to the guy he seems to know his stuff and sounds like he has only just started out so maybe that's why his prices are low at the moment. for £1300 Fit boiler and materials need to complete the work at a high...

Hello, I've sacked the idea of repairing my current 15 year old boiler and have been quoted £1300 for a worcester bosch supply and fit which includes, wireless timer, magnetic filter and a hot flush of the system. £1000 For a Glow-worm betercom 30 Not sure which to go for ? anyone advise...

Right sacking the old boiler off, cant be bothered, it needs a pump, fan and its leaking and god knows what else. I have got a quote off an engineer for a worcester bosch 30i supplied and fitted with wireless control and magnetic filter for £1300 Another engineer quotes £1000 for a baxi...

yes possibly but when i had it on, the fan was running although rough and not at the right speed but the pump did nothing no noise or vibration at all totally dead even when i ran water or heating nothing, so maybe the ignition is screwed hence why it will only light with a flame ie manually the...

I see the fan is running but very creaky and sounds like its sticking so thats maybe why it lights with a torch but once running it runs really rough and not to the right speed, the pump is not running at all as there is no vibration to the touch so looks like they were right on that its toast...

I see i thought only the pump would run for central heating to pump the water around and not for hotwater ok so 2 faults then one the fan which is goosed and getting stuck and 2 the pump. will look into how much i can get a pump for or sack it off and get a new one. But equally i don't...

I appreciate every one's help and Yes i've been recommended one by a friend but for knowledge sake could a faulty fan prevent hot water as i'm sure the pump only works when central heating is initiated no ? so if a fan is faulty and spinning to the right voltage the boiler would say no fan...

final question, if the fan is spinning intermittently and not at full speed would this prevent hot water and/or heating ? it spins but not going at full speed sounds like its missing like a car would.

oh i see so would the flume fan stop boiler burner light from coming back on ?

exactly i don't think it is the water pump, they never checked the flume fan and its rattling, creaking and getting stuck like hell, if they were that good at diagnosing why did they not tell me the flume fan also needs replacing ? while i turn the boiler on the green led on the pcb is clicking...

My instinct was right, i switched it on and the flume fan spins making a croaking creaking noise spins faster and faster and then stops dead like it gets stuck. so looks like this is the fault.

ok i understand is £480 a reasonable quote ?

They took £65 from me for diagnostic and then they quoted £480 which includes pump, draining the system and the labour. I'm just going off what they told me, said the pump was seized and when he turned it using pliers it made a grinding noise, what more can i say they have good reviews online...

Its the pump thats the problem and been quoted £480 to replace it including draining etc ? seems excessive to me but that includes the pump and labour.

no not gas, but i know gas is coming out of that valve as i can hear it hissing.

i see but surely i should see a flash of somekind to indicate the ignition is working ? no, gas supply seems good. but anyway engineer in the morning should sort it.

no i think its a friendly format 80, i definately see no flash or spark through the window, so i'm thinking its the electrode.

got someone coming round tomorrow, but just to say when i look through the little window i am supposed to see a flash or something aren't i when it's trying to light up ? is that right as i hear it clicking but see nothing not a flash or spark or nothing.
