Ideal icos 6 years without a service

Went to this boiler today as the property is being sold and the owners have had a offer , the boiler was nearly jumping off the wall when firing up😱💥, stripped it down to find the heat exchanger blocked solid with aluminium scale not allowing a smooth flow of products through bit of tlc and new sensing electrode (spot the fault chaps) I have left a clue , and it's now working good as new . Cheers Kop

Seriously they are good boilers , I look after a few , traps can be a nightmare to get off if they are in a cupboard.
Sorry cant open pics for some reason .
