Dunno the Marathon, but old boilers usually have cast iron heat exchangers made in sections with some form of gasket between the sections. And it's usually this that fails. Whether spares are available and you could find someone willing to fix it I dunno either. -- *Why do overlook and oversee mean opposite things? * Dave Plowman London SW 12 RIP Acorn |

Ta I've got a hardly-used floor-standing gas boiler, in good fettle and appearance, standing dry in the garage, with documentation. If you want it, you can have it. __________________________________________________ ______________ Sent via the PAXemail system at paxemail.com |
