At teh end of last week we realised that our pump (in the airing cupboard) had a leak...
...so as we are part of Homecare we booked for an engineer to come and also to do our annual service.
The appointment was booked for between 10 am and 2 pm - he arrived at 10 am (so that was good.
He loked at the pump and told me it was going to be a big job (he wasnt kidding it took him an hour and a half).
He then did the boiler service and kept on saying about how old it was and that we were living on borrowed time etc... and there are only 2 parts that are still available for it.
he had to turn the power off and when he had finished he said he didnt want to do any extra fiddling as it was so old,
It passed all its tests :) but then when he turned it all back on one of the lights wasnt on...
...it now needs a new PCB and typically he didnt have the right one on his van.
So he is coming back tomorrow to fit the new part (I have meet the teacher first thing in the morning so will rush back once that has finished,

We decided to have a new boiler rather than risk our old boiler breaking down. We did have an annual service by British Gas but not the Homecare plan and told parts were no longer available. I feel sure they just want to sell you a new boiler but as you found out it's not so easy for them to fix the old models. I hope you have no more trouble once the new part is fitted.
I hope it gets sorted for you. I endured rotten boiler trouble last year, I'm keeping my fingers crossed it will now last a few more years. X
they do tend to try adn scare you into buying a new one...
...they have been saying it for the past 4 years LOL :)
