I recently changed my house central heating system and now have a
number of items that are too useful to just bin. These would be
useful as a cheap way for a DIYer to upgrade or renovate their
existing heating system. Or just to keep as spares.

I hope that doesn't mean that you've thrown away a perfectly good hot water
storage system and replaced it with a combi boiler! If you have, you may
live to regret it - in which case I would hang on to the cylinder etc.,
ready for subsequent re-installation!

Unfortunately that cylinder doesn't even meet Part L afaics. It has a
BS date of 1984. The surface area of the coil is .44m2 and I would take
that spec cylinder for scrap only - a few quid.

Cylinders like that one go for up to £50 on eBay without even an
immersion heater. I just want shot of it, not to make a big profit,
so thought £20 would be better. You can make me an offer or
say you'll take it only if it's free. That's fine as long as you
arrange collection :-).

I'll happily collect for free if you don't get a better offer.
