I love the little challenges my Vokera Excel 80E boiler throws up!
The current problem is that the boiler only lights intermittantly (both DHW and CH). As far as I can work out, the fan is working properly (it is sucking hard enough to make the air differential switch click anyway). The flue blocked LED comes on and...nothing. Sometimes the same LED comes on and the ignition sparks and lights.
Two observations, the temperature guage has stopped working and there is a small leak on the DHW heat exchanger (courtesy of a British Gas engineer's cack-handed attempts at repairing the boiler (which mainly involved tutting and changing random parts)).
The problem with the CH isn't too bad as the boiler works often enough to keep the temperature OK, but it's no good for DHW when I need to do the washing up.
Any suggestions (apart from buying paper plates!)?
Cheers
Mike
