throw the ****er out! they're horrid boilers! and whatever it is, it'll
be expensive to replace, and probably obselete after 18 years
Hey thanks Alex. Just the sort of helpful advice I was loolking for.
Anyway, what's horrid about them? They heat water. What the hell else are
they supposed to do?


Whilst sharing the opinion of the model I'd suggest you may have a problem
with a diverter valve. Is the heating pipework warming up when you ask it
for hot water? This assumes that your gas variation is actually adequate
but
this would need a manometer to check
Thanks. I'll check that but, in the meantime, I'm interested to know why you
dislike them. I was actually on the point of trying to get another LeBlanc
till I discovered they're now owned by Bosch. If it has faults that I've
been unaware of for 18 years, I'd obviously like to avoid them in any
replacement boiler.
