Glow Worm spacesaver 60 boiler

[Sonnagh]

Hi I'm wondering if someone can help me, I have a Glow worm spacesaver 60 boiler it provides hot water and services 8 radiators, I have been told that the case for the boiler is damaged therefore making the boiler unsafe! Would anyone know where I can buy a new case? I have contacted Glow Worm direct they don't make this boiler anymore and told me that I have absolutely no chance of finding one! I'm getting quotes to install a new boiler ( which is the only option if I can't find a case) they are coming in at around £3000! I would appreciate any help ,Thanks

First questions are:
Who declared it unsafe and in what way is the case damaged?

Hi a pump inside the boiler has been leaking and it dripped onto the casing causing it to rust. I have had 2 people tell me the same thing, first a heating guy from south east gas then a heating company that I have used before and trust. The case is a seal for this type of boiler and so must be intact.Thanks

I would say it sounds like its time or a new boiler I'm afraid. Although I would shop around a bit for a decent price. I'd be amazed if you can find a case for a space saver now.

I wonder if the perforated area could be patch welded.
I recommend that seek advice from the company you trust in this matter.

Or alternatively post in this forum for a GSR local to you to take a look.

Hi,
Yes I'm thinking the same thing! The boiler is old about 20 years I think so owes me nothing, its just that it is still working and I could have done without this big expense just now. Thanks for your advice
