    Thanks for the clarification eliteheat, I thought that I had finally forgotten everything that I knew about the subject.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    My boiler has decided that as it is snowing, it would be a great time to break down. It was only fitted in October 2006.

    According to my BIL it is looking like the PCB unit has packed in meaning no power to the boiler.

    Has anyone else had a similar problem with the IDEAL ISAR HE24 boiler?

    It was installed under the Warmfront scheme but I believe the warranty ended in October 2008.

    My Isar HE 30 boiler warranty also ran out in October 2009. It has just sprung a leak. I can't find anyone interested in fixing it under £240.00 initial call out charge. Out rageous, they ought to be bombed out of business. They are producing sub-standard equipment and allowing them to be installed, knowing that they will break down.:mad::mad:

    The Isar boards often blow due to a leak from the auto air vent, or the combustion chamber seal.

    Its a very badly designed layout, but it means that the probelm may more than just the board

    Why is the goverment yet again, giving grants to firms, that supply a bad product at a high price, will this goverment make them pay back or replace the boilers with one that works more than 6 months without paying out £240.00 each time, we have two babys one at 12 weeks and one a 23 months and have no hot water, and do not think we can afford there price for months, what happens then, willthe trading standards be bothered? or goverment? because warmfront are not!

    I have the isar the symptom that i have is that the display is not showing any details (no power to it) does this mean the PCB has gone down ???

    I have now managed to source a PCB as that is what seems to be the problem. The guy who sold it to works for Ideal he told me they come from Koria & cost £8.00 each yet Ideal want to charge £240.00 I would say that is extortion !!!!

    We had to fit a new PCB on one of these last week! Reading this it may be the first of many... The PCB for this boiler is expensive, I think it was about £230 including VAT and delivery, and then there's the labour to fit it.

    Worth trying CET for a recon PCB: I used them last year for a Sime board.

    Snap, my Isar PCB also went at 2 years and 2 months, so just out of warranty. I wouldn't buy another boiler from Ideal.
