Is there any way of finding out how old my boiler is?

[Fordy81]

I've just moved into a new house and the previous owner didn't know how old the boiler was, or have any documentation for it. I don't have a clue with boilers so I couldn't even tell you if it looked old.

I've found the serial no. and what I believe is an issue no (iss 01), can this be used to find it's age.

It's a Potterton Suprima HE 60 if that is any help. Even if anyone knows when they stopped making them would be a great starting point.

Thanks for reading

call Potterton and give them the serial number there are parts of it that mean production year and production week so very easily identified
