Temp sensor gone
got to the bottom of this one, had a company come out who looked at it and said was either pcb or the gas valve, they said they would find out and get back to me , i have not seen them or heard a word,so called out british gas, they found the the prob in 10 mins , it was a faulty air pressure switch , they did a temp repair and are coming back tomorrow to fit a new switch, heat and hot water at last
BG over riding a safety device
That makes your boiler ID and should be turned off and capped off until fixed properly

bg told us to use as normal , so reading what you have said i will take the side of better safe than sorry, one more night wont harm thanks for the advice
had a different guy come out today from bg to fit the new switch, after he fitted it the problem came back . he did not think it was the air pressure switch in the first place, so he cleaned the flame sensor and played about with the gas valve but still not fixed. he is coming back tomorrow to fit a new pcb ,now i am confused. the way it is going i think they are replacing parts till they find the problem.
My first thought would be to test the temp sensor as previously sugested.
not sure if they have tried that yet ,i will see what tomorrow brings, but i can not see it being the pcb as the current one in new
yes had a new one last week from bg , i paid for a fixed fee repair but get a different bloke everytime, just annoyed now want it fixed and next time it goes will get a worcester as am fed up ,its just problem after problem.

its not the boiler its the numpties working on it.
lol i think you are right there ,the first guy looked at it for 5 mins then asked what was wrong , i explained the prob ,he looked on his laptop then called someone else on the phone . so got more time off tomorrow while they come and play about with it
i used them before and got charged £156 fee it turned out to be a rubber seal not costing a lot, so at least i am getting my money's worth this time
well they have sorted it, tried a new pcb but still no joy so i said what a couple of you guys had said about the sensor and hey presto boiler working fine at last. can let the wife have her heating back on now thanks for all the advice.
