The boiler needs to be working properly to be serviced, it needs to be repaired 1st then serviced, there's no getting around having to spend the money :wink:

Where would be the best (online) place to get the black thing and olive from?

http://www.worcester-bosch.co.uk/homeowner/literature/discontinued-boiler-literature/discontinued-oil-fired-boiler-literature Try the link above and download a Danesmoor manual you should find settings for B9 burners in there :wink:

I agree with above post, I would always check for the spark 1st in this situation and work away from there (that's why I asked in earlier post if you could hear it sparking). We all work in slightly different ways and I'm sure the fellas giving advice would quickly cure it if they were on-site :)

There's good and bad in every industry, I've seen enough boilers/heating systems bodged by experienced techs, it's not hard to service or repair an oil boiler if you're reasonably sensible/intelligent - years doing the same job doesn't necessarily mean someone is good at it if they've got bad...

Can you hear the burner sparking when the control box pauses? What type of burner is it?

As much as I agree with the comments regarding Oftec "training" at least looking for someone with Oftec will point a customer in the direction of an operative who has some oil experience if they can't get a recommendation for a known technician. I was working for a company for 2 weeks when I...

Call back the fella that serviced it?

Try www.abgo.co.uk/ or www.heating-parts.co.uk/ for online ordering, could try Parts Center but they rarely have oil parts in stock up my way...

I'd advise you to get an engineer in to set this up properly as you've altered the oil pump settings blindly, you really need to get the combustion settings right (a nice orange flame isn't the way to do it) - it'll take an Oftec guy a lot less time than you've spent so far and most likely...

Did you change the photocell?

MSLA pump?

I'd be inclined to agree with DP but would change nozzle just to prove that out.

I usually assume the guy before me set the burner up in a certain way for a reason if it's not what I expected (I'm fortunate,in ways, to work for for a company so have some knowledge of who was there before, for regular customers, whereas you may be frequently going into new customers with no...

why do you think the nozzles are wrong?

You'll have a cold feed from the F&E tank and pumped H/W. Then Feed & Return for the heating, nothing out of the ordinary...

Hi Kim I note you posted a year ago that the oil tank cap was missing letting in rainwater, did you ever clear the crud out - if not this could be the route cause of your current problem (have you had it serviced in the past year?) Sounds like the photocell is doing it's job IMO, it's more...

Hi Kim That's the make I was thinking of, there are a few about and most OFTEC fellas should be able to sort out any problems with it. 5th of a tank isn't really very low - could be a number of problems causing it to lock out, as Tony suggests clogged supply line (filter would be easily...

I have a customer up in Bolton with an oil back boiler with an integral electric fire in front of it that has access to the reset button (can't recall the maker/brand). Have you checked that you've got oil? Is the oil filter clear? Does the burner attempt to run and lock out or make very...
