Absolutely correct. It is now compulsory to look inside on each service now, if you weren't already.

Your customer should think themselves lucky that p.o.s is working at all! Let alone noisey.

Long story short. Replacing the gas valve sorted it. Thanks everyone for help

 

[jonny5isalive]

Flue was made of three parts.

Turns out middle was a different flue entirely and there was no seal between two sections of the exhaust.

Gas valve AND the flue ?

 

[jonny5isalive]

Gas valve sorted the noise.

Flue needed replacing as there was a joint in the wall. Was worse than I thought on pulling it out.

Blimey, that one turned out to be an epic job eh
