They were genuine parts btw. Yes I fitted them myslef after having been told how to do it and that it was 'easy to do' by my heating engineer friend.... and yes it was dead simple to replace the fan and the PCB was just a matter of unplugging some connectors and reconnecting. OK, I'll admit...

Of course, it being Chirstmas the boiler's causing problems... The boiler is a Baxi Solo 3 pfl-50. 1) Initial problem was no heat. This was down to the venting fan not working and hence the air pressure switch not operating. I replaced the fan with an ebay one for £30 and fitted it...

lol. That's what the wife tells me as well. :wink:

Now THAT was funny. ROFL. :lol: :lol: :lol: @Balenza I think you have asked a perfectly valid point. I'm still laughing now! :lol: :lol: :lol: I bet you don’t think that when your qualified and experienced doctor is sorting your Haemorrhoids problem out. Do you? Personally, I’d...

Pathetic response. As per normal. I have a life other than trolling this forum. But whatever, take your time - you'll need it after all. First you've got to get qualified. And then you have to get some experience. And then in about 10 years time you'll be better suited to respond to my simple...

@Nixt. Of course your points are valid. I have no issues with that. I merely pointed out that such Control Boards would only cost about a tenner to actually make. I believe I have gone a long way to underlining my 'grandiose statement', which I hope is now 'more glaringly RIGHT than a naked...

From my originating post: I said make, as in manufacture. Manufacturing costs do NOT include VAT. I was being realistic. If I can buy a 70Amp 12VDC Potter & Brumfield relay for less than £1.00 why would I be thinking that any of those relays cost more than that? I am not talking RS, Farnell...

You are making it my business by challenging my basic point that the 'PCB' inside my Baxi Boiler, in my view, shouldn't cost the manufacturer more than about a tenner to produce. I am qualified and have the experience to argue my point. Why should I even be listening to your arguments if you are...

No one is suggesting that a CORGI, or otherwise, actually repair the actual PCBs. I'm guessing that CORGI registration in itself does not qualify someone to do that (and before everyone misreads what I am saying & accuses me of being arrogant again, I don't mean that for any given individual...

Thank you! :wink:

Am I bovvered? Do I look bovvered? Am I bovvered? Bovvered? Me? Nah, I think perhaps you may be right. No one is going to prove this argument anyway, so what's the point? It's just turning into a slanging match that the mods such have nipped in the bud many posts ago. Let's just agree to...

@Softarse, you are obviously having difficulty in winding your neck back in and you are utterly unable to stop yourself from being down right rude to people, a common theme with you, not just in this thread but many others. That is why I simply cannot be bothered with you - I have NOTHING to...

Thanks for the career advice, but I already do. I design wheelchair controllers (for which my companty supplies to 75% of the worlds market) & also interface units for the severely disabled. I also design high power industrial controllers. So, yes my designs are bullet proof. They are UL...

@softus. Dude, calm down and wind your neck back in! Obviously no point in me becoming embroiled in and wasting my time with a meaningless argument with a person who has clearly got the worlds biggest chip on his shoulder! Andy

True Chris, very true... I would not advise anyone to do this... BTW peeps, I am NOT saying, or otherwise implying that plumbers, per-se are fat thick blokes (or blokessess) or that they are uneducated. That would be rather narrow minded....

Nice attitude. Says it all really. A response from a person I can really have respect for. BTW it's spelt with a 'w' not as 'yank', as you obviouly are...

Being an engineer, I simply think that the term 'Engineer' has become diluted. To become such for what I do I have had to gain an Honours Degree (I also went on to masters). Just from purely my point of view, seeing every Tom, Dick and Harry calling themselves 'Engineers'... Whatever, but if I...

Great post Chris: You are a person who thinks like me it would appear! My job is a Product Engineer. I design safety critical products (for the medical industry), so I am fully aware of the safety implications. One could argue that 'boilers' is not my area of expertese and they'd be correct...

Thank you, but I have (I hope, it appears I have) fixed the problem by toutching up the PCB solder joints & IMO more importantly changing out the electroytic capacitors. OK, put it another way, for the last 2 years, the system has been running fine, and then this fault develops on the PCB...

So why say it? But, whatever. Obviously some kind of 'history' there... :wink: I'm glad this fourm has helped me out and thanks for those who have taken an interest in my thread. Regards, Andy
