Recommend fault finding books

[nohope]

Can anyone recommend any good books for fault finding on domestic boilers/ combi boilers?
I have recently passed my ACS and CENWAT but lack experience of fault finding!

I’ve seen online Central Heating Combination Boilers? Fault Finding & Repair? is the latest publication from author John Reginald. Just wondering if these books are any good?
Any advice will be gratefully received.
Thanks

im looking into this at the moment rob as i am a trained installer but didnt really touch onto the fault finding side of things very much. Is there any particular courses you recommend? I have learnt alot since joining this site and have been qouted £150 per day for intensive one on one training by a local firm.

Do the baxi course, I did 3 days at about £65 per day, I can't praise it enough, there was a mixture of engineers on course, everyone rated it

1) basic electrical, teaches you about using a multimeter, then
2) Combi appreciation, learn about the different parts and how they work, sequence of operation, then
3) boiler diagnostics, learn about fault finding

Courses


there is a 4th course on wiring, which i will do when dartford training centre has been refurbed, it was £67.50 per day (decent grub included as well) if booked online.

i have done a 1 day fault finding course elsewhere, which was good, but prefered it spread out over 3 days with baxi

i am very new to the game, but even the experienced guys on course said it was well worth it.
