Default Another CORGI fitter bodge...

I do seem to attract them...

Our landlord's boiler started dying again (Apollo Fanfare Si). Last time it
was the pressure switch and the time before it was the fan and the time
before that it was the primary water thermostat.

Poor landlord is just about to replace it anyway. And there's no immersion
heater because Crest Homes are cheap *******s - lack of HW is the biggest
problem.

So landlord (nice bloke) gets his mate in who's recently passed his Gas Safe
assessements and been signed off...

What does he find:

Old pressure switch still there, because one screw was jammed and the new
pressure switch perched next to it. New switch must have fallen over and
landed on something hot as the casing was partly melted and perforated
which is why it died.

He drilled the screw out and fixed the problem properly.

*sigh*
