well at retail that would get you over 200m of cable which may just fit inside the boiler if you remove everything else
I assure you this is most definitely not a wind up, yes it is a farce but unfortunately that is how things have developed. I only know what I know as I have been reading non stop online to try and find a solution as I am freezing and skint!
You do seem to have a habit of throwing good money after bad, despite free advice to the contrary on here you've opted for a 2nd hand boiler to be fitted by someone who thinks you need 200m+ of cable for it. You do realise that if engineer 3 was correct and it was the pump, then changing to this boiler will not fix the issue (though it may fix the issues caused by engineers 1 and 2, assuming engineer 4 doesn't add his own issue to the mix - I can't remember if Engineer 3 broke anything).
My Fingers are crossed for you.

I have got a pump included in the price of the boiler as I realise that needs changing too. Engineer 3 didnt break anything but was the one who did me the back to front quote for installation
I will NOT be using the crazy guy with the cable quote I am still searching for a NORMAL engineer to do the job

Will do thanks, old boiler is now out, new (hopefully good!) engineer said the pump was leaking and was probably the problem all along. Due to a delivery mess up boiler will be here monday so fingers crossed
Thanks all will keep you posted

Right are you ready for a laugh!
So the new boiler came and the guy who removed the old one was then in hospital with shingles so had to look again for another registered engineer. Found one who came with his lad and fitted it 3 weeks ago but couldnt do the electrics so had to get another guy to come and do this. He did and the boiler showed an F1 fault so the fitters came back as they hadnt completed the job anyway. They said it was the gas valve and wacked it a few times then left.
Last week I got a BG engineer out who said they have installed the boiler wrong as the water pipes leading to the boiler are running uphill at a dramatic angle and he said it is not circulating properly and air is getting in.
I have rang the fitters and told them and they said they would be back Saturday to reinstall but never turned up and ignore the phones!!
What a mess and I now have developed arthiritis in my fingers due to the cold!
Can anyone help or recommend what I can do next please as I am about ready to jump in the nearest lake!!!

I know nothing about you or how you have ended up in this mess.
All I can say it that we see so many people who try to save money by employing dodgy people and using second hand boilers and always end up spending more!
This guy here bought a used boiler and had it fitted thinking the makers would repair it under warranty. They refused! He ended up buying a new boiler and having two boilers installed. Even the new boiler was at first fitted wrongly!
If you are a woman, then one wonders why you don't have a man assisting and dealing with these things.

Really?
I agree it was a risk buying a used boiler but I trusted all the engineers as they were all gas safe. How can I tell they are dodgy till they start work?
