Hi,
Does anyone know where I could get a spark generator for a 25 year
old Ideal RS100N conventional boiler? I've tried everywhere, with no
luck.

Cheers

Can't just visualise the model but I think it will be a push to click piezzo
unit. These are readily available from most boiler spares stockists such as
HRPC although you may find it necessary to make up a suitable bracket if a
direct replacement is not available.

Any cheap throwaway gas lighter which does not use a flint and wheel,
will have a piezo igniter unit inside it (the click, click type). You
could probably adapt one of these to fit. Just extend the short HT wire
(carefully insulating), to the ignition point and make sure the casing
of the ignitor is grounded.

I might have a more suitable one lying around at work

email me a photo of it

Lol, sometimes we overlook the obvious choice. I needed a complete new
doorcatch mechanism with central locking and deadlocks for my mondeo drivers
door. I was on my way to a scrapyard to spend 1hr removing; I called local
ford dealer en-route a new one was only about £30. Guess where I went!

You could have a look here - may be a bit big for your needs though )

But there might be some problems installing that in a CH boiler

Nice

Many thanks to all who replied, managed to locate identical generator
locally for about =A317.00 Not a bad outcome for nearly a year of trying!
