I'll read that wiki, thanks. I'll always treat tripping MCBs as a warning that something isn't right, unless I have good knowledge to the contrary, but thanks for the warning :)

That seems fair advice - I'll leave it as it is then, I'm not actually having any trouble, I'll just upgrade to MCBs as and when the fuses go, just for confidence that they are new and shiny etc.

The gas/water pipes are located in the same room (garage) - should be as simple as connecting an earth from them to the board shown? I presume this is normally done on newer builds?

I am in work right now so can't say which boiler I have, I will check tonight and let you know, thanks. In the meantime, I think it does have a permanent pilot. I can say that it was ok before the service! Are any of these things you suggest likely to have been adjusted during a regular...

Hello, I recently had my boiler serviced (by a proper gas installer) and since that day whenever the boiler lights, rather than just lighting, it seems to light with a bit of a bang, as if too much gas is getting in prior to ignition? It really is quite a thump, it sounds as if the thing is...
