Had a cp12 booked in for Monday morning, I collected the keys from the landlord the week before, he text on Sunday saying there was no gas on and could I go Tuesday instead, yes no problem. I went round Tuesday and guess what, no gas on. It was really local so I wasn't to bothered. Went back Tuesday, failed emissions and I didn't have the top seal (worcester round heat ex). So I went back Wednesday, no elecy on.

Wednesday, went to fit a divertor valve service kit to a logic, left the kit at home.

Later that day, went to re hang a rad that had fell of the wall the week before, customer left the key in the pot in the back garden, key didn't work.

Thursday, went to fit a 400 by 600 rad, I turned up with a 600 by 400 rad.

Later, went to a main eco, 240 on the neutral, disconnected neutral in, still got 240, so I disconnected everything one by one, pump, gas valve, fan, divertor motor, spark gen, still getting 240 on neutral. Ordered a pcb, went back this morning with new pcb, still got 240, realised I didn't test the on off switch, went and got one, still getting 240, rang baxi but they couldn't help, finally figure it out I think, was getting between 19v and 32v on neutral in when it was disconnected from the boiler, but 240 when it was connected. Very weird

Went back to the logic late Friday afternoon, fitted the kit in just over an hour, still passing.

I think Ill sign on the doll on Monday .
 
What a nightmare mate!!!! You should really for the sake of £8 carry a couple of Worcester seals tho. I had a similar problem yesterday with glowworm not holding pressure,prv passing. Changed prv twice and it was still passing alot. New hydrobloc ordered. Hate faffing about having to call back to jobs etc but can't stock everything.
 
I keep one set of probs and seals for Worcester

Sounds like you've had a mare of a week
 
I never used to do repairs. Just install and servicing really. But course if their boiler breakdown and you say, nah mate I only service, don't repair they will think what kind of idiot are you...so got into breakdowns :(. Which can sometimes be a pain and hassle.
