Blast from the past

They certainly don't make em like this anymore fitted 2005 and still going strong other than a clean all's good .kop

Morning mate. Fully agree. Still have 6/7 of these on my books. Lovely to work in as well and built like tanks. Have a good one.

That’s one boiler I’ve never come across much to go wrong / common things ?

 

[Harvest Fields]

Not really mate, the orings on the pump go after about 15 years and the microswitch attaches to the diverter on the combi bends out of shape due to needing a new diverter after about 12 years. But even then not had many go wrong.

I've had my boiler for 17 years now.
Still going strong and never misses a beat.

Changed pump once - used one I got off another boiler. ( that was about 10 years ago )
Expansion tank replaced once - I lashed out and bought a new one. ( that was about 7 years ago )
Probably changed the PRV at the same time.
Replaced room thermostat some time ago also.
Almost forgot - replaced HSI once

I should really have a look at it again- summers coming soon - so I will make a note to have a look at it in April next year......Maybe!!!
