Boiler filled with water due to backfilling from condensate pipe

[Harvest Fields]

Your not alone I thought it was the non condensing one

That is why I asked for a picture mate. Especially when he said 2004.

Thanks for the replies.

It's good to know my theory wasn't completely out there.

Well the boiler is still as dry as it can be this morning, it's located in the garage and there obviously isn't any heating.
So I guess the next step would be to see if I can get some one that is gas safe registered to come and take a look and hopefully replace the control unit and save the boiler otherwise it looks like the only Christmas present I'm getting this year is a new boiler

I will get the condensate pipe redone anyway as it's far from ideal and needs doing regards of what boiler we end up using.

I've attached a picture of the boiler when the engineer removed the cover.

Oh dear, perhaps some humility is something you should care to learn. I looked through this thread again wondering exactly what your contribution was considering the number of posts and other than some spurious claims about inventing stuff there was not a great deal. Correct me if I'm wrong though as I'm humble like that.

Spurilous claims hey

I’ve had boilers full of water because of backed up or blocked Condensate pipes. But of these boilers they’ve never leaked out over the floor.
I have had boilers leak out of their casing because of rain water entering via the air intake.
