Most people know what I do - repair pcbs and fans for central heating
boilers. The item in question is a fan that costs around 180 which I
send out for 50


"Good Morning,
I am interested in purchasing the above ref
part for my Boiler as depicted on your web page - Stelrad Ideal 2 60 F
(Wall Hung Compact model). As this is for a direct replacement, could
you absolutely confirm the part number is as quoted-GC319037 -complete
Fan Assembly!(makers part number-from parts list in Boiler manual=
589945011) ?
I have read your Terms and conditions and appreciate that as a
refurbished part it attracts only a twelve month warranty but could you
advise that the part should be in good-if not perfect- working order and
can expect some longevity from it.
As I say I have an order to place if you can comment back about the
issues raised.
Your earliest reply would be appreciated,"


I can't see what's wrong with this email. *He's asking the seller to
confirm whether the part is the right one. * *What's so strange about
that?

It's the pomposity of it which comes out at me. I might almost
suspect that the guy was some legal wally, but then I'm more thinking
he's a plonker that thinks he's going to get a better service if he
uses long words and fancy phrases. The danger I see with either type
is that if there is some sort of hassle, you are going to get really
hassled.
