    However, in my previous property, we had a Potterton boiler that was notorious for burning through circuit boards.   Every house on the estate had the same boiler and the Potterton vans were up there constantly repairing them.  Once out of initial warranty, I used BG servicing as they covered the cost of repairs and back then were actually very good.  I only did it as the cost was cheaper than the circuit boards and gave servicing.    In the end BG lost money on me and I gained.
    Yep, I've got a Potterton which did just that! Only happened to me once so far...

    It definitely would have been worth waiting for a day to take it over to the Tuesday - you'd likely have paid a quarter of this to a local heating engineer. 
    I went without hot water for 4 days (and had a 3 year old at the time) - it's nothing to panic over :)
