I had bg cover when it originally broke and they wouldnt help as parts now obsolete

Which Halstead 45 F is it the Balmoral ?

 

[ianmcd]

what colour is the PCB is it Blue ?

 

[ruthxxx]

Yes it is the Balmoral, The old PCB was green and the new one is blue

 

[ianmcd]

Ok I have some good news for you, the reason the new PCB sparked and banged is that its not compatible with the older green one they are different, and as you were covered with BG and they said no longer available they are telling porkies, when you call them and say they are still available they will give you a speech about they only use certain suppliers

Their main supplier is Wolsley parts centre which they use on a daily basis and here are the Wolsley part numbers

Green PCB 444844

Blue PCB 444847

The only anomoly is that according to my info the 45F should be a blue PCB and the 55F is the green one but if it worked for all those years with the green one then that is what you require

Thank you all for all your help, I have just bought a Glow worm 18hxi and will keep my fingers crossed.

Now just need to find a fitter who actually knows what they are doing

 

[rjm2k]

2nd hand? I thought you had a new fitter?!

 

[ruthxxx]

Yes 2nd hand, no choice really

No confidence in him after quoting £280 for combi and £500 for system doesnt make sense to me and I am absolutely ignorant on these matters

I have just had my 1st quote and he said £200 - £400 depending on how much cable I need

You are definately at it

 

[rjm2k]

How far from its current position will it be that it could need an extra 200 quid worth of cable? Where are you finding these people ? Are you working your way through the yellow pages?
