Does anyone have not idea how to fix that leak? Any chance of getting a new part or something?
The leak is coming from where the blue towel is.

GOOD question,
I haven’t seen the job yet just received pictures today. I have asked her why she hasn’t replaced the boiler yet. She had an offer of British Gas for over 4K ...
Basically, she wanted it temporarily fixed. Shall I not touch it ?

It's a gas boiler ron are you gas safe ?

Flow switch will need replacing. It’s an “o” ring seal and will need the brass face cleaning back up, before reassembly.
No need to be gsr for that bit.

Whats the height of the 222?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Easy switch swap if you do it , SIKA switch I think .
Tighten up with a “ strong hand “ not grips . The big tip is the flow switch has a small arrow on it , make sure you dont get it upside down or the fun will start .

Thanks a lot chalked. Do you know where to get a new one or would you just replace the o ring and clean the rest up ?

Customer has stated that British Gas has put it there years ago due to the fluid pipe ... whatever that’s means ... I did not understand what she meant by this.

What brand of boiler is it actually ?

What brand of boiler is it actually ?

Personally Ron. I wouldn’t touch it. These boilers are prone for rusting flue gas parts and flue issues. Do you really want to be the last person that worked on it??? I wouldn’t. A well know company killed someone with one years ago and they were trained engineers.

 

[Harvest Fields]

If BG have AR it mate, it will be for the Part that always corrodes.

 

[heliotrope]

What brand of boiler is it actually ?

It's a Range Powermax.

Very tricky boilers.

Why are we talking about gas boiler repairs on an open forum?
Is this not against forum rules?

 

[king of pipes]

Ronny leave it alone do you need the hassle what happens if you replace it and the boiler wont work ? Let a GSRi sort it mate . cheers kop
