Hi all,new to the forum and hoping to get some guidance through the boiler minefield .
We moved into a 70s bungalow last Feb,its got a Greensted 241 junior mark 3.
The expansion tank has failed, also it has a Boss therm sender unit wired to it but the previous owner didn't leave the receiver unit which I'm assuming is a timer /stat control.
So we can only turn it on /off at the boiler and control temperature on the boiler and rad stats.
It starts off at 0 pressure and builds up slowly unless I top up manually.
I don't qualify for an economics grant, apparently the boiler isn't old enough, I've been quoted £2030 by clever energy for a Baxi assure 30.
Not sure what to do.
I actually have a new external expansion tank as I considered fitting it myself but it also needs a controller which I'm not up on.
Don't know whether to bite the bullet and get a new boiler or play around with this one.
Any thoughts on the baxi?
Cheers for any help you can give.
