The problem was that they used to make good boilers. Then a few years
ago, they stopped.

IME they have never in the last 40 years produced a reliable long lived
boiler!

My Kingfisher RS is approx '77, and has had one new thermocouple. And a
set of O rings.

Couldn't really ask for better.

Of course it hasn't been taken apart once a year 'for service' as the IMM
clown recommends...

This is a bit rich coming from incompetent. Here is this Plowman giving
advise on CH..read on...

He also attempts to give advise and criticise views on heating, yet he said
about his gas boier.......

"Mine managed over 10 years without being touched before it needed a clean.
'Sooting up' once it starts, happens very quickly."

He didn't have his gas boiler serviced for over 10 years, and knows all the
answers in this field - he thinks. Only on the Internet you see this.

These people are dangerous man, very dangerous.

This what he wears, yes he does...he said...
"Well, I got a rather flash pair of DeWalt boots from TLC, so there.;-)"

Sad isn't it. Big yellow boots. Yes. big yellow boots.
