But seriously mate, I am totally confused. BG said the boiler was useless, and dangerous and I shouldnt use it. The potterton engineer said it is fine and safe to use, and it has been working fine since yesterday. The potterton engineer has promised to put new fan in once I get the flue fixed...

Well how long will it take you to travel to Barkingside from Afghanistan?
