I had my annual service on my boiler about three months ago! During the service the engineer noticed some limescale/corrosion and said that he would order a new part which would solve the limescale/corrosion problem, and notify me when it arrived.
Needless to say I heard nothing and called the...
Just in case you were still wondering....
