He is probably better getting a new cylinder anyway. After 25 years or

re-heats. If he attempts to take out the immersion when full he could
be in for a big expensive and messy shock. A new "quick recovery"
cylinder, like an Albion superduty or Telford Typhoon, will solve many
current and near future problems all in one go.

Perhaps you'd quote an approximate cost for this

No. That is for the OP to take up and run with. I gave the best advice here
and gave some products too, one being very cheap.
