Anyone recommended a boiler breakdown/servicing cd

[mylocalplumber]

Hi all,

Been on tools 7 years but mainly installs and gen plumbing. Now with maintenance company and been given quite a few breakdowns.

I'm ok..and get there in the end but not really fair on customer.

Can anyone recommend any learning products..books, CDs, websites etc?

I'm using a fluke continuity/voltage tester at moment but prob need to get a decent multimeter to take exact readings right?

I ve got CDs from Bosch and looking at the CDs available on corgi direct but if anyone could give me advice it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Mo

Contact the boiler manu's as they have loads of stuff specific to their models which they don't generally publish.
Get a copy of some BG stuff from a mate.
You'll learn in time.

There was a thread discussing such a book the other day http://www.ukplumbersforums.co.uk/central-heating-forum/38540-anyone-read-book-amazon.html you may be able to persuade the op to send you a copy of the pdf file.

it's always a good idea, when doing a boiler swop, to take the old boiler back home with you,
you can then strip it down, it should give you a better understanding of the internal parts etc

i've got 2 boilers that i've saved for stripping down, had them for a year now though, i might get round to it sometime :laugh3:

strip them down and weigh them in

Always pleased with the amount of copper and brass that comes from some old boilers, the primary HEX is a good few kg on some
