I never would! Trust me. Wouldn't risk mine or anyone else's lives.

No way was I gonna attempt it myself. I was asking in general terms if gas engineers would do such a thing as opposed to a full replacement.

Yeah, I had asked that question here but apparently it's not the done thing.

I can't understand why BG won't just replace the gas valve in its entirety since a new one would come with the Modureg. Sime have confirmed that the valve itself is still available, the Modureg as a separate part is not. I am going to take this further anyway as this makes no sense to me. Why...

After a second engineer visit, I learned that it is the Modurec specifically that needs replacing and not the full valve after all. See my post of a few hours ago above. Thanks anyway. The first engineer just kept stating gas valve. Today's fella was more specific and identified that component.

Anyone who thinks they know where this part can be sourced, I'd be sincerely grateful if you could respond here. Thank you.

Had another assessment done on this one as Sime themselves confirmed the part was available, not obsolete at all. Glad I did too as, thanks to a second engineer being more specific and a lot clearer in his diagnosis, established that it the SIME 6187611 AMISCO COIL 220V. Modurec which needs...

I understand that, yes.

I understand that, yes.

Thanks, fellas. I have already contacted a few local places and they are happy to look at trying to help me and advise. Hopefully one cheaper than that one on eBay.

Thanks, guys. It is a Sime Friendly.

Understood. Didn't know that.. thanks for info. All good now, happy to report. Until the next time, anyway. :LOL:

Thanks, everyone.

Ok, will do. I was thinking that might be all it could be needing, but, as I am no DIY expert, I was apprehensive. Does slight slackening sometimes happen through use?

Yeah, I was just looking for a way to compress the video I took as this gives best indication. Here is a pic for now.

Completely understandable. I have removed now. The files seem to big to enable upload to my thread.

Apologies, guys. Hadn't noticed attachments failed to fulfil. These are proving too big to enable upload.

Noticed a little pool of water underneath my boiler after I had switched the boiler off for a few hours and have now identified the leak's source (see attachments provided). It really is only the tiniest of drips but I don't things to ge any worse. I feel a little embarrassed about getting an...
