Any thoughts on his advice ? (this will be the third bolier he's installed for me this year in different houses which makes me wary ?) What should a fan repair cost and would it be false economy ? Thanks for any advice, John

Most expensive fan I've replaced was £155 + vat and that was because it had it's own pcb that you couldn't split,they are normally not that dear.Don't know your model from your post and have obviously not seen the job,so can't tell you if the rgi's diagnosis is correct but I think you should get a second opinion.If your boiler is as old as you say he may be thinking along the energy efficeincy route,saving you more in the long term by changing rather than repairing
