More Boiler Problems

SLH_2

Hi All,

I had a problem with my boiler and was getting hot water but no heating. I called British gas and now had this problem fixed.

I took out the boiler cover so had a full inspection that has now thrown a spanner into the works. My boiler needs a new flue kit as there is nothing on the side of the house so they have classed my boiler as at risk.

The flue kit that I need is now obsolete. The engineer has given me the details so I can try and track the part down.

The part needed is a Brittony Combi 80 Flue Kit Concentric Horizontal Part Number 61016493 British Gas number E22517.

How urgent is this piece of kit? Seems a massive expense to get a new boiler just because they no longer make a part. The engineer seems to think my boiler is between 8-10 years old. I typed the details into the British gas website and a message popped up saying that a company has to supply replacement parts for at least 10 years, does anyone know anything about this?

Thanks in advance for your help

Do a google search, there are many suppliers. Have you tried the manufacturers, it is most unusual for parts to be unavailable so soon.

Hiya,

Thanks for your reply.

I have checked loads of websites and British Gas have checked with the manufacturer. When I google it, nothing comes up... really running out of ideas.

Do you if there are any companys that make non branded parts?

Google powered heating components. If they cant get the part then its not gettable. Ask for Darren at phc, he is a nice guy and good at his job.02920 372834. The price you will be given is normal price. ie if a trade company calls they will get a discount. Long and short is if phc can supply then your engineer can call them and get then fit the part. Best of luck. Chris
