I have an old boiler, at least 40 years old, I have resisted all efforts to have this replaced with a new one which I see as being designed to fail after a few years. When I have been in the UK if there have been any problems I have been able to sort them out myself. I am currently in Japan and the tenants in the house are having trouble with the heating system. They are not able to do battle with it, and I can't get the information I need to try to diagnose the problem. Any central heating engineer that comes to see it will want to replace the boiler. However they are not able to definitively diagnose the problem, and just give a list of potential problem areas. They expect me to buy the parts, pay to have them fitted and if it doesn't fix the problem, to keep buying parts until presumable we discover the fault by trial and error. There are no refunds for parts bought unnecessarily. I find I am caught between a rock and a hard place, is there any way out of this ?
Thanks in advance for any help. Pete
