I have called out Bgas 3 times and they have not been able to fix it.
They have changed a thermostat and then a sensor but without luck.

Should read without necessary skill or genuine intent. It's insane that
they consider a 12 year old boiler finished -

Agreed it insane they consider a 12 y.o. Worcester boiler finished.
A Pott. Puma or Biasi/Alpha/Vokera well may be.

Boilers shouldn't even be allowed into the market place, without a 25 year life
expectancy and spares backup. They should be put in the same category as
long-life bulbs.

It's intolerable, how the industry has been allowed to undermine people's
expectations, frequently relying on their natural ignorance, because the word
"gas" naturally instills fear and they take full advantage.

Someone here a few months ago, said that their boiler WAS 8 years old and so
should he be looking to replace it ! Such wastefulness negates any saving in
energy, that technology is purported to deliver.
