Add furthermore, the guys/gals who come here and say something like, I havent a clue about gas boilers, but mines broken, can you gove me enough information so I can go and pull mine apart in the off chance I can find the problem and fix it without killing myself........and to think all the time I wasted doing courses, going to manufacturers lectures, spending time training with qualified engineers, when I should have just had a go!
