Well this is a Potterton Prima F 50
For 2 years after we moved in, it had trouble igniting, would sometimes take up to half an hour before the boiler lit constantly cycling.
There is also a bit of flu missing (the bit that goes in the middle) - there is just a hole there when all the others I've seen have had some kind of restrictor.
I solved the problem with the ignition - turned out to be three dried out capacitors so for the sake of a quids worth of parts and 20 minutes of my time sorted that but I'm just a bit cheesed off that the previous owner might have tried to cover up a potentially dangerous problem.
But like I said - old boiler out next month and new boiler being fitted (and that flaming thermal store removed as well !!!)
