Bit far for me I'd have to charge you £600 before I start lol.

Speak to your neighbours, friends etc and get an engineer that has been recommended to you.

Worcesters are very common so most decent oilies with breakdown Experience should be able to help you.

PS. Its 22 yrs old, do you think its past it ????? Never given a days trouble in its life....

It's not past it, oil boilers are very simple. Although getting s condensing boiler may save you some money on your oil bill.

Definitely not past it. Only a youngster. I would have an old oil boiler over a new one anyday. New ones full of plastic tat. Keep going with it till it bursts.

thanks for replies. I cant understand, the engineers are OFTEC Worcester/Grant accredited and have a good reputation.....It was working perfectly before they touched it ....There isnt much chose up here.

You need to log in to the forum each time. You could be anybody posting.
I wouldn't solely trust engineers that are registered with boiler manufacturers, - it means little.
Hope that boiler with fumes isn't still working after all this time?

thanks no its off at present.

This is a late reply but, if you haven't managed to get the problem sorted out, it's worth using the OFTEC find a technician search to locate other technicians in your area. Sounds like you need a second opinion.

Hope you get everything sorted out quickly.

Solinoid valve could have dirt in it, so when the boiler shuts down the valve is slow to close or does not close completely letting oil into the blast chamber. My need a new solinoid valve.
