boiler parts

Hi,
I have been told that the part we need for our boiler is no longer available so we will need a new boiler.
Does anyone know anywhere that might have old stock or any good websites to look on.
Boiler is Vaillant VCGB 110 H the part we need is a 'pilot burner assembly' part number 042959.
Thanks
Carrie

    Tried Vaillant themselves?

    I tried Vaillant first of all. It is an obsolete part so I guess my only hope is finding one on a shelf somewhere - any ideas?

    Thanks

    What is the problem with your pilot injector?

    If it is just blocked, then it can usually be easily cleaned using a compressor.

    It is not illegal to buy gas parts.

    Thanks. Ionkontrol - tried them they don't actually have any.

    I have been told by my heating engineer that I need this part.

    New boiler it is then. I guess.

    Thanks

    That is true, but some suppliers have their own rules as to who they will supply with gas parts.
