    The boiler went out of production circa 2002 i think.
    So you'll be looking for a spare part that is probably right on the end of production / support (assuming they make spares for the "standard'ish" 10 years after boiler production finishes).

    You could try phoning ideal directly and see if they have one gathering dust in stores.

    Edit: not that this helps you but i found one for a response 80 and they want £830 for it...

    Thanks, found out that the part was Discontinued on the 4th December (2 weeks ago), so some one must have one?
  • if ac's price is anything to go by i think it's new boiler time
    I'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.

    You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.

    Dont bother.

    Call Ideal, I believe they do a discounted boiler replacement for these awful boilers, or they used to.

    Trouble is you will have another Ideal!!!

    Time for a new boiler and get a decent make.
