f***ing Ideal!!!

[diverdee]

eager warmfront want shooting for stipulating that installers have to fit them.god help people in a few years time.atleast you guys know you got plenty of work coming

I have they been dry fired??.

any good boiler design would incorporate an interlock to prevent dry firing don't you think? Shows a real lack of engineering expertise and cost cutting.

The dry fire stat should do that but in some cases (repeated pressing of reset) the boilers can overheat. New orange board has a temp delay not allowing reset until back below 55
Esprit has a low water switch They are learning slowly but getting there
I will stand by the new isar the only drawback is that it has to be fitted very well with little or no flux or debris left in system. They dont like being fitted onto old systems (yer council stuff just boiler replacements on 10 year old systems).
Bg had a kneejerk reaction and took them off service listing (they are back on now) A lot of BG engineers didnt understand the working of the boiler (I was one of them back then) but this was the M series not the new one.
I could go on all day but you fit what you like all installers are different so I wont convince some on here.
But if you look at the posts on here there are just as many in about baxi, worcester, glowworm, valiant etc in fact even more so at times!

all boilers have their faults, it just seems ideal want to put more on each boiler. its not a difficult boiler to understand, its basically a rework of the turbo series. the design and build quality are just **** poor with so many areas that needed improving. i had to laugh when they released those "ionisation probes", what a quality and lasting repair thats going to be not putting a wps in a boiler like that is ridiculous oversight.

jaguars too were made with very bad steal and had very poor build quality. Only shear snobbery allowed them any sales at all. You had to drill a hole in the boot of the xj6 to let the water out.

i had an xjr40 until a few weeks ago, fabulous interior and a great drive but the bodywork was unbelievably bad. i knocked the large grommet out the boot for draining purposes.

All four customers have now decided that they want to have new boilers fitted rather than Ideal come out and fix them for £220.

Insisted that I must not quote for another Ideal, as if I would anyway

Says it all really, customers prepared to spend approx £2000 instead of £220, just to get rid of a useless boiler

dave did not know ideal bashing was so profitable
