Where about are you.

One of gas fitters, might be able to advise of a good fitter in your area.

 

A new boiler because of a popped PCB? Get real JP. If the OP swaps the PCB for £45, he's got a bargain. Double check your wiring the next time round though!

 

Nothing like a bit of DIY on a Sunday to empty the bank balance.

 

Good job we're not discussing mine then JP, an old Glow Worm from the mid 70's! We've been here since '87 and all I've done is replaced the cast iron heat exchanger once due to leakage and changed the thermocouple 2 or 3 times! No electronics or microprocessor carp to go wrong!
Probably not as economical as a later one but when offset against repair & servicing costs of the newer one I reckon i'm quids in!

 

Seconded. The cost of a new boiler takes years and years and years to recoup through its efficiencies if you've already got one that just needs a new PCB.

My 80s Potterton is only getting replaced when it disintegrates.

 

Agreed Stateit, too much stuff gets scrapped these days on the pretext of it being more economical, better for the environment and all that old carp!

 

C17 preferred.

What have you got connected to 3/4 at the moment? A room stat?
