Went to see an old MKII Netaheat 10-16 in Bayswater yesterday afternoon. The owner was complaining about the high cost of maintaining it and was interested in a combi conversion.
Anyway, when I asked him what he had previously paid for repairs he produced an invoice from last November for a 3-port valve head change for …. Wait for it … £846 (inc VAT)
The invoice stated the labour charge was £120 per hour or part hour, and they claimed to have spent 4 hours on diagnosing and sorting the problem out. This does not seem to add up – whatever way you look at it.
I suggested that he contact trading standards – anyone got any other ideas because frankly this is criminal.
By the way, does anyone have a spare gas valve for a 10-16 MKII?
