Flame failure Baxi 105e combi

[ahides]

get the 105e repaired they are superior compared to a logic,i am not going to comment on the rights and wrongs of you trying to repair your own boiler but as i am sure your aware you cant touch the gas or flueing side of things,my advice to you would be either find a competent engineer to sort out your issues,or get a one off repair done with heat team baxis own personnel,you will regret having a ideal IMHO the 105 is the best combi ever produced

Gasman thanks for your opinion, wow you're the first person I have heard extolling the virtues of the Baxi, happy to hear it, are you on commission 🙂. BTW no intention of touching gas side. Thanks again

I'm going to comment on the rights and wrongs of him trying to repair his own boiler. It's arrogant to come on here asking advise on a gas appliance, and then jump all over someone who points out it that it would be sensible if you were to use a qualified, COMPETANT, and 'Gas Safe' Registered engineer.

You may have done lots of wonderful work as a kiln engineer, but if that doesn't directly relate to a modern, domestic boiler - then frankly it isn't worth a fart.

The fact that you have spent the last 15 years as a health and safety advisor (and not working on gas appliances) proves to me one thing.....that the regard the general consensus hold of 'health and safety advisors' is well placed.

Now I will bid you a 'good day'.

Did you forget you agreed to be nice too???

I'm actually a fan of the Baxi 105e aswell (when they work). Nice simple set-up, easy to work on (expansion vessel excluded) and most importantly a decent bloody drain off valve!!

Call me a bluff old traditionalist but those comments don't seem to be that "nice" nor do they add any value to what is being discussed here.

Koogatubac may be your mate for all I know but the fact his comments got deleted should tell you something

Please if you have anything of value to add I am happy to hear it

Regards

I will re-iterate my point. By your own admission you have been a health and safety advisor for 15 years, and have come on this forum asking for help. So you deem yourself competant. A registered engineer must be deemed competant by a third party.


Now the legalities may say you are allowed to open the boiler as long as you don't break a gas seal, or touch the flue (in laymen’s terms).

However, I think you are wrong to open a boiler, and the fact that you have experience in kilns doesn't mean you have rellavent experience with your Baxi.

As for being a bluff old traditionalist, that's your opinion.

My opinion is that you should leave boiler repairs to people who have spent their time learning how they operate. I personally think that opinion is of value.

It isn't helpful for Joe public to read your comments and consider themselves fit to fiddle with their appliance (as long as they leave the gas alone).

Why shouldn’t they? That's what you have done.

As for Koogatubac's deleted comments, I didn't read them. Whether he is a mate or not is irrelevant. (I have only talked to him on this forum tonight) …..I agree with the general sentiment of his comments.

If he has had comments deleted, then he has probably been rude. I don't think I have.

If you are offended then I apologise.
