Asbestos in the heating system?

Hi all,

I've recently moved into a rental property with a very dated warm air unit. The exact model is: Johnson & Starley J2532Mk3 Modairflow. It's an old-looking unit, none digital, like something from '70s.

After ringing the supplier I've been told "there will be asbestos in the rope but it should be okay as long as you don't move it".

I'm not sure what "the rope" is though.

The thing is, looking at the actual boiler I'm worried I can see what could be exposed asbestos (there are random spongy bits poorly held together with tape and it's got me concerned). I've attached a photo and a video below, would be great to get someone's thoughts on this. Am I worrying needlessly or am I looking at exposed and dangerous asbestos?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Link to video or the boiler:




Best,
