Mods were did i say how to fix this boiler himself ? what i did point out was harry bloomfield was talking nonsense, at least you removed some if not all of his drivel
Hi all,
I had called in another elderly engineer who used to install the boilers in his days. The thermocouple that the previous guy fitted wasn’t installed correctly and would move about causing the pilot light to go out. all sorted now and boiler seems to be working fine.
Thank you for all your advice as you guys saved me changing the thermostat or gas valve for no reason.
At what point does this boiler become unecomonical to replace? A new boiler is 1K to buy - Do you really spend a few hundred to repair a 40 year old boiler?

Modern boiler if it needs repaired outside the warranty period, will cost a fair bit to maintain. Will be economical compared to mexico thou
MexIco will need very little in terms of parts, thermocouple replaced regularly, cheap to maintain. More expensive to run but better controls will make a big difference
