Hi, I have a Gledhill Boilermate and would like to know if there are any parts suppliers about. I think I need to replace a sensor (well, I want to try that first) as it's intermittently giving some strange temperature readings.

Yes, that's right. Occasionally it's fine, but then sometimes lukewarm. I've googled around and asked others on our estate (apparently all homes had these initially) and found some suggestions to swap out a sensor and cable, see if that does the trick and then start worrying about it. Just needed to know where to start looking for the sensor!
The older sensors were suspect the newer ones tend to be a lot more reliable I would go with the sensors first but the PCBs on these are very temperamental also
the whole thing is an abortion. sensors are rubbish and pcbs are really flakey. If you have a multimeter turn the system off, remove all the sensors let them settle to room temperature then check the resistance, should all be the same.
Yes, that's pretty much what I'd heard as well. It seems like a nice idea, but I can just see it turning out very expensive. Almost everyone else on our road has had these things ripped out, replaced with a conventional boiler, then they use the space left as a sizeable cupboard!
However, I can't afford to replace unless I have to, so I'll borrow a multimeter off my brother and do as suggested!
