Expensive parts

[stani]

Been out to a Main multi point balanced flue today, it requires a new water valve, priced it 3 different suppliers it's a little plastic/ nylon thing under the gas valve. £220+vat
how can anyone justify a price like that
It's item number 6

All boiler spares seem to be ridiculous now. Over £200 for a Suprima board!

 

[stani]

This isn't a PC board though it's just a plastic valve, complete multi point only £300

Rumour has it that BDR Thermea only bought Baxi group because of the highly profitable spare parts division.

If it helps there is a cheap {£155 } on ebay

Just fit a wb green spring 17lpm!!

 

[galaxy_plumbing]

cant you just change diaphragm ? or something else in the valve is gone?

A great shame the Chaff Britony BF is no longer available.
An iconic gas product along with boilers like the Ideal Mexico & Glow worm Hideaway.

Answer is then replace the whole unit ! not worth the cost of repairing it,

Correct, new unit, new warranty, just can't believe they get away with a price like that.

I was replacing a lead pipe yesterday put the cold feed back on and the main multi point sprang a leak from the governor managed to replace the o ring thank feck if that's the cost of a new part.

It's funny how as soon as we get there and do anything, the boiler always, always, starts to leak. Not even working near it but, it's your fault.

rayburn nouvelle gas model circa 1980s, replacement oven thermostat, sit down now !!!!!£408 plus vat and delivery, seems there isnt a call for these now, HWOS offered £350 plus vat but 4 week wait. Had to revive lady custard , and then inform her my labour on top of that, unless they have it no turkey for them this year !,

thats definitely the manufacturers taking the p++s, there's absolutely no justification for a price like that,
the good news is she could always buy a multipoint and still have £100 left. No good for cooking but plenty of hot water.lol
