Is it a standard efficiency boiler or high efficiency?

What’s the make model of the boiler?

The plastic rail that is secured to the bottom side of the case has broken away from the case. So putting the screw in doesn’t help pull the case to the seal.

Depends on boiler. if it is a sealed cover that needs to be tested for seal leaks then ID but if it is just a case on a boiler that has an internal sealed cover then its OK. (annoying but OK)

I would AR if combustion is good, otherwise ID.It's still part of the combustion process.

It's ID for that boiler as the case is the seal and those two screws can be annoying if not lined up

If it passes all it’s checks and the burner seal is fine then it’s AR

If the burner seal fails or it fails it’s checks it ID.

What’s the issue your having with the screw?

Bit of silicone would solve it

Bit of a tricky one part of me says ID but then if it's not causing an Immediate danger then its AR.

Personally I would AR it.

Yeah if burner seal is fine etc. and combustion is fine I'd AR it too. There's no immediate danger.

I always go on the analogy in situations like these that my trainer taught, if it doesn't kill you today but could kill you tomorrow AR. If it could kill you today then ID.

Is the boiler then getting air from outside the boiler and not the flue?

The Greenstar Ri needs the front to be seated correctly to create a good seal. Did you test the seal when you were there? It is a NP so if the seal has not been made then it will pull on your smoke pen, if it does pull then AR. If it does not pull then you have proved the seal and all is ok.
