bloody hell its the clash of the titans AGAIN
ok so softus thinks what he thinks and you think what you think
the DIY'er is not silly and can ascertain for themselves what they should or shouldn't do
so lets agree to disagree and move on.
rang CORGI today and they say that only a registered person should work on any part of the boiler that either controls the safety devices of the boiler or the operation of the boiler
so its my "interpretation" that only RGI's should work on any part of the boiler etc.
This is open to interpretation and we live in a free(ish) country and their is bound to be legislation to either dispute this totally or at the very least muddy it up a bit.

It was a childish joke. You know - you said that we disagree, I implied that we agree, but expressed it by disagreeing, meaning that we disgree, which means that I agree with you that we disagree, which means...corgiman said:

Hi all, thanks for an interesting debate.
Ive worked for a few different electrical companies and they dont normally see a problem with sending electricians fault finding on boiler pcb's and components. To be quite honest it has never crossed my mind about being corgi registered to fault find on boilers, so its probably a good thing that the point has been raised.

Oh well I might aswell not bother with corgi reg next time, I'm qualified electrician too, so if that's all I need That's save me a fortune then and save a whole load of hasstle from inspectors. Cheers.

I was not addressing Softus as that would only have encouraged him!
If he came out of the closet to one of our meals then he would be able to introduce himself.

Yes I would! Can't you see my glass is empty?

I did not want the house red, I wanted cabernet Sauvinon !

You're quite right Agile; I should give credit to that - the RGIs on this forum are concerned about safety first and foremost.Agile said:
I've never encouraged anyone to do gas work; I've only ever pointed out, and only on some topics, what the law says, to make people aware when the law has been misinterpreted. I always point out that it's necessary to be competent. In fact, there are times when I've agree with others that it's sensible to engage an RGI - I'm not black and white and crazy all over, like, to name, but one example, Water Systems is.
No - this is cobblers.
competent electricians can carry out repairs on motoriasation OUTSIDE the boiler eg, roomstat,timer,cyl stat , 2 and 3 portvalves
as soon as you have to open the casing of the boiler you have to be corgi registered because you can compromise the integrety of the appliance, eg: damage the seals . to answer your question about wiring diagrams, have a look at different manufacturers installation books in the back you will find faultfinding procedures wich, if followed competently will result in pinpointing to the faulty part, im into boiler instalations and breakdowns and over the years you get to know certain boilers and just by description you more or less can pick 1 or 2 spare parts to fix the problem but again if you find you have to open the case for testing a corgi engineer should be at hand to make sure teh appliance is left in safe working order!
