I get the impression that there is an inherant problem with Suprima boilers, and the answer is the PCB.
My point for discussing here is how my problem came about.
I have been in my home for around 3 years, and decided my boiler could do with a service. Called the local CORGI registered plumber and he trotted on round. Within 5 minutes he was telling me the boiler has PCB problems and the whole unit on the side would need replacing £400.
I had reset the boiler before this perhaps 3-4 times in the three years so thought it's something i'll deal with as and when.
within 48 hours of the engineer leaving, oh am i surprised the boiler needs constant resetting with the lovely flashing red light.
Has the engineer done anything trying to get more money, or am i just unlucky to have to fork out on top of the £165 it's already cost me.
He replaced the washers on the pump which is above the boiler while he serviced it.
