assuming the heating is working then i'd say no.
From the description of the problem it would have to be fluctuating. Very unlikely however simply feeling where the heat goes would prove it.
The most common fault on these boilers is the NTC's. Proved simply by swapping the leads over,

if the ntc was gubbed would it not be a permanet fault rather than an intermitent fault?
yeah ok you told the guy to swap the leads over but you never told him which leads he,d have to swap so swapping leads is pie in the sky to himwhy did you not mention swapping to the other ntc.and does he know what an ntc is
The original questioner does not seem sufficiently impressed to make any further comments on what he is being told.
To me boiler repairs are so easy in front of the unit where I can check everything and particularly do a temperature survey all in a few minutes.

S'funny - GasAid seems to think that the HX is blocked and/or scaled.
[/quote]Yes it probably is...but for some reason you asked about the diverter as be though had encountered a problem on these yourself. You try and be helpful....
the central heating works all the time its just the hot water.
thanks for the help. just wondered what sort of job is it to replace the heat exchanger.
