From everything that has been said then I basically need someone to drill out the broken thermister and put a new one in and I'm good to go. The thermister should be here tommorow and I will ring an independent gas safe man to do the job. Thanks for everyones help with this, hopefully I have...

The green plug that's hanging down is connected to a thermistor, the gas man plugged it in and said I would get hot water only but it would overheat and i would have to keep pressing the reset button, he said the central heating would not work, I have tried it but it locks out straightaway. So...

Here is the snapped thermistor

I think the part is obsolete , its two wires that go into the CH thermister, boiler dokter has been very kindly helping me out with it, the homserve man damaged these wires ans the thermister and it looks as though my only option is to find some old ones, so if you know how i can get them or an...

thanks for this , you have been a great help, last question then I'll leave you alone , is it possible that these leads are part number 87161206330 Flow pipe assembly , as this is the part that homeserve say are these 2 leads. If it is it looks like I am done for unless I can find an old...

Sorry for all the questions. but I want to make sure that I'm not ordering these parts if it still wont work, as I hope to get it working then charge it all back to homeserve. In the manual for the boiler it refers to 2 leads when replacing the central heating sensor. It reads Drain the...

Could I just check before I order , this part number appears to be the cover for the heating exchanger 8-716-142-264-0 this is the part number for the heating exchanger 8-716-142-804-0 which is a lot more expensive??

Hi All Thanks for your help with this I have ordered the thermistors, so that's fine, as I understand it the homserve guy fitted an auto air vent so thats ok. The other piece I will order today. Does anybody know what this copper wire is that he's referring to?

Anyone know where I can buy an old one , I need a part off it. Anyone Thanks

Got British Gas out this morning , his verdict was that who ever looked at the boiler last has snapped the thermistor just underneath the auto air vent, and it is now lodged in the boiler, he said it would need boring out, apparently this thermistor has a copper wire coming out of it and this...

Thanks just phoned them don't think i'm any the wiser, they are both flow pipes he didn't know the difference, he thinks I need the 87161206300 so hopefully that will work , thanks for your help

Thanks mate I've got this part, none of the sites seem to have this one 87161206330, the thing is this part number does not appear on the spare parts list in my manual the only one is the 87161206300. Are only the parts you need listed in the boiler manual?

Hi Bit of a long shot this , firstly I am not a DIY expert and know very little, my boiler broke down 2 weeks ago I had cover with homeserve who basically were useless, they took 2 weeks to tell me they couldn't locate the part for my boiler and I would have to get a new one, this may be the...
