With the evening getting colder and colder, a close relative who lives
nearby rang to ask me if I knew anything about boilers.

He is renting a house and the boiler is simply not firing up. There are
various sounds - and there is gas at the cooker! - but no dice.

I have despatched him with a fan heater, which is about all I could do as I
know little or nothing about this boiler (or boilers in general, really!).

Obviously he is getting on to the landlord but is there anything that could
be worth looking at in the interim?

I did look at the BW site - but couldn't quickly find a 240 model - any
hints there would be appreciated. Not sure of its age or anything though it
seems to be a combi.
