old honeywell boiler keep blowing fuse

[leccydirect]

Hi,

I've got an old honeywell boiler at home. It kept blowing the 3amp fuse until i turned down dial inside to off (presumably the water temp) when it is turned on it instantly blows. I've wired up plenty of new boilers etc, but i've never touched an old boiler like my own before. The power supply to it is pluged in like an appliance into a simple dial with off, 1-6, that is the extent of the electrics.

Are these still common to get hold of and for me to replace? or is it something else?

cheers
