I've been searching the web to find some sort of cost or calculation to find out how much extra my faulty boiler is costing me.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Think people need more info, if the fault is that it is not working then it is costing nothing!
Do you mean it is inefficient?
Some info here, the fuel prices will be out of date but you can use your consumption and price and extrapolate, old boiler at 70% and condensing boiler at 90% efficiency.

Its a 'fabulous' Ideal boiler and after numerous issues and parts being replaced Ive now been told that it is - if I remember this correctly - the pressure valve? The part that should have 1/2 water 1/2 air to create the pressure?? and its cheaper to replace to boiler than to replace the part as either way the whole thing has to come off the wall.
Due to a dispute with my landlord, Im trying to calculate how much extra this has been costing me to run?0 -
Hardly anything. Not enough to be worth calculating.Its a 'fabulous' Ideal boiler and after numerous issues and parts being replaced Ive now been told that it is - if I remember this correctly - the pressure valve?

Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. 0 -
Expansion vessel is what you mean.
You could have one fitted external to the boiler, but as near as possible to it in the return pipe.
This will be a lot cheaper.
There is no way even taking the boiler off the wall to replace the original will cost the same as a new boiler.
Around £250 ish I would have thought.0 -
