Failed Spillage test - Glowworm Capricorn 240/6 Back boiler

[Rincewindwiz]

Hi

A case of layman confused I think.
I have a Glowworm Capricorn back boile. The mand came to service it yesterday. The boiler was fine - passed all its sets quite happily.
However the gas fire (which vents through the same flue as the boiler failed the spillage test.

Looking at it it seems the gas fire has a vent across the top of the boiler and into the main flue. This appears clear so I am confused as to how the boiler cna pass the test and the gas fire fail it.

And, of course, what I might do about it

Thanks for any thoughts

Much as I appreciate your fine taste in literature I'm afraid there's nothing you can do other than get a gsr in to advise and put right. Something like that will kill you.
