was working perfectly well up until last Sunday. Engineer mentioned gas leakage, asbestos and other nasties...said he had no choice but to stick a notice on it and cut the supply off at the mains. Hope Neg's piggy bank is full :-)

Happened to us just before xmasApparently it was kicking out 16x the safe level of carbon monoxide.
I was keen to see how toxic it was exactly. A quick deep breath leaning over it confirmed that it was indeed very, very toxic. :jorge'sbadtrip:
We had to have the whole heating system replaced, £8k :-(
I'm not sure I believe in Carbon Monoxide.
'You can't smell it, you can't taste it and you can't see it, but it's there and it will kill you'. Sounds like a racket to me.
...but send me the Camberley chap's details too. It's good to get personal recommendations for work done.

Fellow Gooner mate George (sits in Block 14 at Emirates) is a Gas Safe inspector and plumber. These are the only boilers he recommends. I can pass on his number to you if you need more information.
We had one installed in 2005 and it is just brilliant.
I very nearly had to fend off the bats.
BATS EVERYWHERE!!
A condenser boiler. And you can get a grant.
