These are a well designed boiler, & very simple and easy to work on.
As Sham above says, easy repair.
Get someone out who knows what they are doing.

Indeed he is - another one asking for advice with cloth ears
No, I think it was Popcorn??!!!
It's amazing how many people slag off the Logics. It's got to be one of the easiest boilers to install, service & repair.
I come across 100s every year & rarely see any problems. I've been in the bowels of a 6 year old one & it was as clean as Nun's Knickers. A very simple & easy one to service.

who ever thinks they can fix it, let me know the price then if it is that easy. The gas engineer i had has not been able to. Ideal want silly money, that is why I had not called them and a month before they came. I began with an engineer so expected it would have been resolved, but a service,valve change, and igniter change later it is still doing it. I would definitely not have another one of these especially given how much they charge for spares. I am in Bucks so for those who claim to fix under 30 min let me know as long as you are gas safe registered. The one i have used has already said if the igniter does not resolve he is stumped as to what else to change.
the engineer did ring Ideal while he was working on it.
not sure what you talking about so if nothing useful then its not really worth a contribution.
Dan are you saying the figures show a problem as he did this and said everything looked good, but as the problem continued he said he would change the valve, he did this but as far as I know he did not do the readings again. I cant be sure, but he definitely never gave me another slip.
You have paid for a gas valve and an igniter as you call it, and a service, and you think that the Ideal fixed price repair is expensive, that cost includes the engineers time the cost of parts and a warranty on the repair, and it would be working now
Well that may be your first problem.
You need a competent engineer with diagnostic skills to come and DIAGNOSE the problem.
When a new gas valve is fitted the FGA readings need to be repeated to check if it is working properly. You seem to have engaged a nupty, told him to do a service because that is cheap and not had it repaired!
You complain that Ideal are too expensive but they are a large company and their prices are typical of the marketplace, that means reasonable. It is you who think everything is too expensive and so employ nupties who change parts which were not required. False economy !
You seem to be asking for someone to come and fix your boiler in 30 minutes. Presumably because you think that you will pay less for a quick repair? But I have to tell you that the top 100 boiler engineers charge the same diagnostic fee however long or short the repair takes! If they can do it quickly then that is to their benefit because of their greater skills!

Oh come on, Ideal spares are very cheap compared to some - gas valve for your boiler £65+vat, ignition unit £23+vat. If you think that's expensive then you're in cuckoo land. Worcester spares are considerably more than that!
Shambolic, who is the one who said he could fix in 30 minutes, is an Ideal engineer, so he can't work for you directly but if you got Ideal in on a FP repair you might just get him. Should cost about £250 from memory
