Arghhh! sorry but I am at my wits end with the blasted thing now, turned up the water as suggested above (dont you just love WD40) then last month the water went luke warm again, couldnt turn the water temp up any more so got an engineer out, the gas pressure was low so he charged me £50 to adjust the gas pressure. Then he went, seemed ok but about 12 hours later the ignition started clicking but the gas wouldnt light. It was going off then relighting quiclkly. the water was going hot and cold. Central heating was fine. he came back and adjusted it again, then the water was fine but the central heating kept going off and triping the safety switch on the front of the boiler. came back and changed the thermistor and adjusted it again, worked for two days now its started the old problem of trying to ignite over and over and then tripping the switch on the front. It is ok on low heat central heating and the waters is ok for a while if the heating hasnt been on but otherwise just switches itself off. I had paid another £90 for the final 2 visits but its not fixed. i have found a few posts on other forums citing the same problem with this boiler but everyone says they will only post an answer if emailed a corgi number. I dont want to fix it myself, just a vague idea of what might be worng as i am fed up of paying out call out charges for the problem not to be fixed. Please can anyone point me in the right direction of a possible cause of this type of fault?
The most annoying thing is I am planning to get a new boiler soon anyway and had savednearly enough money, now its all going to go on getting the darn thing fixed.
Clueless about boilers.
