We have a Glow Worm Majorca 2 back boiler that we plan to replace in the summer (yes 30+ years old - but been ok so far) but as luck has it, the thing has stopped functioning because of blown fuses. The control circuitry to the boiler is ok. The boiler ignites, runs for a few minutes and then turns off due to the 500mA fuse blowing. I replaced the transformer - to no avail. tried the boiler thermostat at different temps but still the same. The only thing I'm left with is the solenoid gas valve but can this cause problems like this? Can you even get spares for this model anymore? We're cold (very cold) but do not want to spend anything much on this boiler as it will eventually go and we'd rather spend the dosh on a condensing boiler.
