My 12 year old Potterton 120L now burns pretty yellow and I can see small flecks glowing red hot on the bottom as I look in the inspection window. I am looking for advise re best course of action. Let it run as it is? Replace the heat exchanger itself? Get the heat exchanger (sealed unit) serviced? Should I look at a one off repair type contract as these tend to be a fixed cost and avoid any nasty surprise costs or would they not cover such an item as technically the boiler isn't (yet) broken? Thanks for advice in advance.

As Simon says register with us but you're going to need a gas engineer to look at that nothing you can do yourself
