Wow £490.00. Thanks for showing it to me though Ian. At that price, not knowing whether or not it might be the valve, it would have been too much of a gamble so I would have probably gone for the new boiler option. Before spending that much I did, however, enquire about replacement solenoids as...

Thanks Ian. (My last reply to Dan was about looking in his magic box!) I really appreciate your advice. I quite understand the safety aspect of the forum rules and didn't want to impinge on them.

Thanks Dan. If you dig deep enough and come across a working V4400D 1011 let me know. Scout's honour I'll get some qualified grumpy bastid to fit it.

Well Grumpy, thanks for that. No I'm not a qualified engineer and wouldn't pretend to be. If you'd like me to pm you with the engineer's name and contact number I can do that so you can check out his credentials for yourself.

I didn't mean to give the impression that I was disagreeing with the engineer ~ far from it ~ but he...

Sorry about the detailed intro but I'd welcome some suggestions if that's okay. My Ideal Concorde CX 240P (Propane) gives off a loud 'pop' every time it shuts down. It's been doing it for a long time but now seems to be getting worse. Frequently the popping blows out the pilot light which is...

Amazing coincidence. My wife & I run a B & B and so we attract all sorts of relevant 'gifts' from friends and relatives and now we have 2 hostess trolleys, one from my late mum and another from a neighbour. Last weekend, as we were having a private party of our own we pulled one (The Echo...
