I've just decommissioned mine and junked most of it but I still have odd
parts like the Honeywell V4300 gas valve. Does anyone who is still nursing one of these want the gas valve as a spare? No known faults and was running up until a week ago. I also have a nearly new pilot igniter electrode. Photos on request. Cover my postage costs and they are yours. Bob |

Thanks John, I've trawled the interweb for this valve including ebay and only found very old references to it unlike your V4600 which seems much more popular. Several references I did find were pointers to this thread! I suspect that an ebay entry will just be a waste of a listing fee so I'll keep it on the shelf and hope that anyone doing a similar search will find this post and approach me directly. Bob |

Morning Bob
This is a little old but thought I'd get in touch in case you didn't get rid of these parts. Keen to get them if you still have them.

Bob Hello I'm still running one of these in a flat I'm renting out and actually quite like it. However, the tenant now wants the spy glass replaced (by the little ignition light) as they are able to smell the fumes. If you had the little piece of glass that goes in front of the little ignition window I would be incredibly grateful and throw in a bottle of whatever on top of your postage? Can you help sir? JH |

How does that sit with the gas check? -- http://www.voucherfreebies.co.uk |

Metal will seal it just as well as glass. What gas check? |

Er ... tenants, gas .. ? You *do* have a landlord's gas safety certificate for your installation, don't you? And what did the Registered Gas Installer who inspected it say about the missing glass and smell of fumes? -- John Stumbles -- http://yaph.co.uk What is a simile like? |

The big issue on that site is its total lack of any way to include the date
when it sorts messages. The year is most important, after all, so everything in a given month gets regurgitated. also considering this forum is supposed to be ported here to usenet, its interface should be defaulted to quoting the message as convention suggests. if I wre a Usenet admin I'd just block the site till it complied.
