The last place you look could also be the first

The "usual suspects" were blocking access to the reduced shelves in Tesco. It looked like they have been practising their tactics.

Bloody Squirrels in the soffit boards above my head at parents house again doing loads of noisy damage! Sounds like they're sawing through something.

My next moan!

Just got back home from visiting family for a week and it looks like my boiler stopped working yesterday evening. Smells like something is fried on the control panel PCB although I don't have a visual on it. Hoping that when I can get the plumber I want in that the PCB is easily replaceable because the boiler is 27 years old. Looked online and it maybe available to purchase but need a visual to check the model number.

House is 13c now with 1 oil radiator running and I'm glad I have a working emersion heater on my tank for the hot water.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
 

27 years old ? Probably time you got a new one.
I replaced mine 2.5 years ago, when it was 21 years old.
They fitted it on that hottest day ever in the UK, 19 July 2022.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
 

It's a 2 bedroom house and I'm trying to drag it out as long as possible considering the cost involved, but if I'm still in this house before Gas boilers get banned I will replace with another Gas boiler.

Wow what was it near 35 Paul??

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
 

I've managed to work out what PCB control board is in it and ordered a new one, I'm amazed it is still available, so hopefully when I can get my plumber in that will fix the issue, so not a complete financial shock to my system.

However I've got an oil radiator as well as a fan in the living room so that's going to cost alot more on my electric bill as well as heating my hot water with my immersion heater but that's better than being home with a house that's 12c and no hot water.

Tool maker and the factory owner :shocked:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
 

He wasn’t a factory owner…

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
 

Managed to get my vintage(27th year old) boiler fixed yesterday, the Fan was the issue.

This is still in the moans thread because some parts are obsolete, I have to plan to get a New System Boiler installed around May time as I don't want a heat pump.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
 

Did you return the board you brought? Did you purchase the fan yourself or did the installer do it all?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
 

I have until 30th January to return it, my plumber got the fan from his supplier.

I hope she stays happy for alot longer Snoopz :)


Good for you for fixing her up!! (Most ppl would give up and get a new one)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
 

Most people would get their plumber to diagnose the fault.

It needs to be swapped over as I believe I won't be able to install a gas boiler in 6 years with them being banned and doing it now my plumber thinks it'll be a bit cheaper.
