Gas valve for Potterton boiler

[richardhowell]

I have a Potterton Neataheat 1622 electronic gas boiler, and yes, it is nearly 25 years old but still giving good service! The same engineer has been servicing/repairing it for several years, and he's always maintained that I should hold onto it for as long as possible, as it's a good solid reliable boiler. However on his last visit he regretfully informed me that, should the gas valve ever need replacing, I would be "stuffed" as you can't get them any longer. (This is what he has been reliably informed by his suppliers). We discussed this at some length and agreed it would be well worthwhile using the wonderful internet to find out if this is the case. I have already looked at several suppliers on the net without luck so far.
However - remembering how this forum has assisted me a lot in the past, I thought it a good idea to make this posting to see if anyone could help. The valve itself is made by White Rogers if that's any help.

As far as i know they are long since obsolete. Theres the potential for a few 2nd hand ones to be around or new ones lying around in sheds somewhere

I just do not understand why some peple get all "dreamy" about "an old boiler".
A vintage car,motorcycle or a comfey pair of shoes i can understand.Come on keep the industry afloat take the plunge you might like it and maybe 25 years down the line it may still be working

potterton were selling a kit to upgrade the white rodgers valve with a Honeywell, I've fitted a couple and had no problem at all, very straight forward
