how can it be a manafacturing fault if there are thousands upon thousands of suprimas out there still with the old pcbs that are working fine its just simply a weak point of the suprima
the fact that it was the best selling boiler in the country for nearly 10 years says alot and thats the main reason you get alot of posts on this site about them simply because there are millions out there
Maybe there are a lot out there that are ok, but it is infuriating when it is is only four years old and you are looking for a few hundred pounds to repair something that young. It may be something else as well not just the pcb. Having read the postings here it would appear that many have had to replace the fan as well!! More expense!!
all im saying is that things go wrong im sure if you brought a tv and it went wrong after 4 years you wouldnt be expecting the manafacturer to come out and repair it free of charge
About fifty quid a year, pippylion. About the same as you're probably paying to get the thing serviced. You are getting serviced every year, aren't you?

Yes I do get it serviced every year but it doesn't cost £50. I have a good plumber who does not charge an unrealistic fee and knows what he is talking about. All I am upset about is that Potterton knew about the fault but still deny there was a problem. I have incidentally always had Potterton boilers one for 20 year and had no major problems. Perhaps things are only made to last 5 years now so that everyone must change to a condensing boilers!! I am not getting at anyone in particular but I do expect things to last a little longer than 4 years before breaking down including myself!!

Not expecting anyone to come out for free but I could get a potterton engineer out for a £200 fee (as that was all they did as a package)and end up forking out that amount for a small inexpensive part!! Incidentally I have never had a tv break down after 4 years nor a washing machine etc etc.
