I added the same printout twice by mistake but the second lot posted are 2 different printouts from circa 2 years apart. The days makes little sense to me except the efficiency but which seems good for a 15 year old boiler. Is this baffle seal rope a universal kind like that used on wood stoves...

I know nothing of the meaning of the readings but I do know I want to get rid of the exhaust smell ;)

Is the seal just a glass fibre rope type or a special fully formed type ? Cheers

The hank you all for your learned advice. I will order the parts from heating world spares that boffin outlined (flange, heat proof gasket, and o ring) using the part numbers provided. The rope seal that for the big door with 4 bolts on it and the baffle seal- are they the same thing?? Or 2...

The boiler is a firebird popular 82. 19-35kw with a riello 40 burner. Cheers.

Is the baffle seal one of the parts boffin mentioned or another possibility And /or something else worth doing at the same time? Cheers.

Those were the readings from the service just after I moved in and the faded looking one is from a service the previous owner had done a couple of years ago.

Cheers, in Northern Ireland putting the illegal plastic loops inside seems to be the norm. I bought the all metal one designed to be used indoors and it vents outside. He wanted to leave it venting indoors- so a muppet he is, but so was the first guy who also said it was 'grand' as it was. So...

Cheers for the concise and very help shopping list! I just wish I were local so I could get one of you guys to fix it for me. Sadly I am in Northern Ireland nowadays The local service blokes only seem to know how to clean the combustion chamber out and replace pistons and nozzles. Anything...

Cheers burner man, The spot I can see the flame though is obscured in the picture but I have highlighted it again to try and make it clearer.

I'll take a pic and post it now. But you are right, I was advised to leave the red box cover outside to air for a few days as it got a some oil on it from the leaky o ring on the piston. Having the red box on makes no difference to the fumey smell though.

Hi fella, I managed to add a picture of where I can see the flame on my boiler. Any chance you could have a look and tell me if it is normal? It is where you suspected though!

Managed to add Picture highlight the points where. Flame is visible when the burner is firing. My thoughts are that if I can see a flame through it the fumes (albeit it carbonmonoxide free) can escape and could be what is causing my smelly boiler problem... Any help greatly appreciated! Steven

A poorly shot video of the flame visible when my (firebird popular 83) oil boiler is firing. Should I be able to see this?

I can see flames through these holes here on my (firebird popular 82) oil boiler. Is this normal? Or could it explain a rather fumey smell??
