VerifiedHi I am Rick, UK Plumber, and I specialize on Boiler problems, your boiler does not have a PCB as is generally recognized today, it is just a couple of relays etc that can be worked round, can you tell me is it a conventional flue or a balanced flue, and what exactly is the problem, Rick

OK the balanced flue model had a post purge unit fitted this is designed to run the fan after shut down, it should have yellow to 7, brown to the limit stat and white to 6, it should only run for a minute or so then turn off, if it continues then the relay has gone faulty, the cutting out after 130 secs sounds more like lack of oil or photo cell dirty, does it actually fire, before cutting out, I am checking for availability of the post purge unit, but suppliers have not responded as yet, soon as I hear will let you know,
