Where is the condensate terminated and how is it run? Did you empty it by removing it?

outside into drain. undid the clip at the bottom of trap and let water out.

Will there ever be one that is installed correctly?

It has got to be a blockage somewhere, maybe access glue in a joint?
Flexible connector buckled?
Debris in/near the trap?

never saw any the water coming out ,but i put a sheet of paper in the drain and found that water had come out of pipe as it was wet.
Why does it boiler continous run even when central heating is turned off

Why does it boiler continous run even when central heating is turned off

timer/roomstat bodged.

Just out of curiosity, was the benchmark filled out correctly, and if so does it look like real measurements or are the figures copied from the book?

This model seems to be fitted (almost) exclusively by cowboys; you can expect things to be botched.

I often find very poor work when people call with problems on a newish boiler and "had a good plumber, but he is conveniently not there as he is on holiday/moved to Spain/retired/....." And coincidentally they just can't find his name or number.

was called to one last month which was fitted a couple of weeks before, it worked perfectly well then cut out, the condensate pipe was about 2m long and full, it was connected into a mcalpine washine machine trap and the guy had forgot to cut the end off the spigot, so it worked until the pipe filled up and shut the boiler down, so it couldnt have been condensing much as it took more than 2 weeks to fill up 2m of 19mm pipe
