Repairing old boiler or fitting new one?
Ok i know alot of people are gonna get a bit p***** here but we have a quite old glow worm fuelsaver mk2 boiler and it doesnt seem to be lighting up, it sparks every one in hundered tries.
Would it be too stupid to get a part for around £20 to repair it? i mean there is a website which sells old boiler parts and it could be a cheap solution.
If not then how much would it roughly cost to replace the old conventional tank system with a combi? im assuming the combi would be around £800 but how much to fit it?

Depends on area, cost us £2.5k to get a Vaillant Condenser supplied and fitted in 2009, but we live within M25,0

Is this a pilot light version that has the push button spark generator?
If so get it fixed. It may even just be the spark gap has become too big or the spark lead cracked. Had one of these last Thursday.0 -
I presume its the fully automatic version i.e it doesnt have a push button to light the pilot?
A GW Fuelsaver in good condition is still a good boiler. I'd suggest repair it. My boiler is 25 years old and im not about to replace it.Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..0
