Thats the same part and still the likely cause. Has your engineer checked it? Ray

Looks like hes not the only one thats ashamed :lol: On a lighter note :wink: i find it pretty disgusting and agree sentencing can be too light, hes obviously desperate or a junkie. ive no time for either. Ray

I understand what you mean its quite upsetting that they seem to be built so poorly(though i suppose it keeps us in a job) Yesterday i had one that needed an ignition PCB. boiler was moved a few months ago leaving 2 leaking valves. The fans squeeling like mad and i suspect the expansion...

My moneys on Jim knowing what position his filling loop should be on and the filter before the plate heat exchangers choked up. Providing the filling loops in the right position. See if you can top up the pressure on the boiler a little bit. this would prove that water is going up to the...

quite right its not a repair you can carry out yourself. although it points to a fan/flue point id guess its the PCB though in theory could be a sticking APS or fan i think probably the pcb. Ray[/i]

No worries i just hope you get sucess. I do some contracting for the gas board. Havent in the last few months but im up to speed with how they operate and if its someone i thinks honest/decent ill recommend going down that road. Last person who has a worcester junior needed a heat exchanger...

your quite right with your own diagnosis. If you have the manual for the boiler look at the section for replacing the plate heat exchanger. id start there first as its a cheap repair and most likely. Ray

guys are we looking at longterm solutions? I think the maxima was the last half decent boiler ferroli made...possible even the modena. In Glasgow i still see the Ferroli vans out and about so imagine they have direct labour. Most will recommend Valliant/Bosch. I would think you should...

it sounds bad Sako. I live in Glasgow. Even if your not a customer the gas board (scottish gas here) offer a fixed price repair. Its got 3 diffrent levels the maximum is £250 and includes all parts and labour (i sometimes suggest it to get out the door) but when you phone up customer services...

...............just waiting to get shot down in flames from another user but! if youve had the thermistor changed. run the hot water from your tap(not the shower) see if it does the same. if it does do the same then allow the boiler to heat up and then at the second it cuts out turn the black...

Sako what did the guy say today about the boiler? did you think about a £250 fixed price repair from the gas board to repair it with a year warrenty? Ray

Everyone will advise you diffrently down to personal choice. Due to the technical support i get i use Aristons. An ariston system boiler can come with a 5 year manufacters warrenty so long as its serviced yearly. Id say get a few diffrent prices from local installers if you look down that...

could even be a cloggedup burner stopping good contact on the electrodes. i suppose its up to your own personal choice as well to try and findout what the fault is before putting it on the scrapheap. Ray

sako i agree with 45yearsgasman. I absolutly hate the minimser and a similar ideal responce. You dont want to be throwing good money away so think sensibly. Perhaps even concider asking a company offering a fixed price repair on this boiler. I had one doing the same before christmas, too...

yeah id definitly agree with your line of thoughts. For all it will cost as apposed to the amount of problems it could lead to id leave it on 24hrs at 10degrees, fingers crossed it wont need to kick in much! Ray

as above so long as your roomstats not faulty and isnt just appearing to be in the calling for heat position without any contacts made. what type of actuator is it? Ray

i wouldnt advise replacing it yourself due to the safety side of it, especially when you total the cost of the part itself labour wont be too much more expensive. Its a compact ive got, came new when i moved into my house, i always thought when that goes ill swap it for another boiler as its...

if thats still leaking id just turn it off tonight to save your overflow running and pick up a fibre washer tomorrow and swap it over, shouldnt need to tighten it too much either but that will be the cause Ray

thinking about a career change? :D

if the pressures not dropping on your boiler then the leaks are both on the hw waterside of the cylinder. Does the cylinder still have the red stickers indicating which pipe is which? if so you could turn off the stop cock on the cold water inlet side. This should be the same pipe that has the...
