I cant fault that reply lol

 

[Pleasehelpme]

Haha thanks for the replies, I wouldn't mind knowing who made it and I think it's about 40 years old but works very well and gets very hot

Looks a bit like an old Thorn, or maybe a Glowworm, post a picture of the fire front

 

[townfanjon]

Sorry for the mickey taking , I personaly wont go near them , I just take them out. Somebody will know who made it but I doubt you would ever get any parts for it if you needed to.

 

[Rickster123]

Why is the fire front not fitted? Who removed it? And please say it's not currently in use??

 

[Pleasehelpme]

Thank you so either a thorn or a glowworm, unfortunately I don't have the fire front it went missing 18 years ago when we bought the house and yes it is still in use its just that I might be able to get a fire front for it off one of my mates who has loads of back boiler fires so I needed the make and model, it is used constantly non stop from November to March usually then about 3 hours a day for hot water or hearing of it's cold, have I been risking my family's life by using it, it's in my rear living room and has no cover on it just a wood surround around it but it's been 100% percent reliable over the years with no problems at all
What should I do?
Thanks again

Stupid is as stupid does

 

[Pleasehelpme]

Ok thanks well looks like I'm going to have to save up for a new boiler, any recommendations for a reliable non combi boiler that will last for years?

 

[townfanjon]

Shakes his head

 

[Pleasehelpme]

Looks like I've done something stupid, can you still get non combi boilers?

Wind up, got to be
If it genuinely isn't a wind up, get a GSR around pronto,they will advise you accordingly
Do not use your heating or hot water, it's potentially life threatening

 

[Pleasehelpme]

It genuinely isn't a wind up, I never thought in all these years it was dangerous, I'm going to be phoning one in the morning. Thanks again
