Ideal Concord Boiler WRS240A - Casing Seal Desp Needed

[leannebailey99]

HELP!

Am selling my house and my very old yet reliable boiler failed its safety inspection on its casing seal. Apart from thats its great. Everywhere I ask this item is obsolete. and if I can't find the part I will have to give the buyers £3k for a new boiler which i so don't want to do...

Any solutions for me old wise ones!

What do Ideal boilers say?


if they say its obsolete then its obsolete.

If no one stocks it then you are guffed.


What percentage of the house sale is £3k?

you can get a generic case seal from parts centre for these but remember qualified guy to fit it

 

[Dan Robinson]

If he's happy to fit naughty parts .

Thanks guys

Parts centre say its obsolete. If i can use a generic one then why would the gas engineer not know this or offer as a solution, nor did parts centre.

£3k would be a massive dent in my profit and I need every penny as expecting my first child in a few weeks arrgghhh

Generic means it is not approved by the manufacturer.


I hope you have the boiler switched off!?

Still have a few WRS, Mexico's and Kingfishers.... all of which have outlasted the Suprima generation.


Injectors and burners are getting thin on the ground and TC quality is dropping.

I might be tempted if no one local can help lol
