boiler not firing on hot water.....dodgy time clock help

[bob the plumber]

hello, took a look at a friends boiler last week that wasnt firing on CH, went in thinking diverter valve possibly, however with a 5 minute investigation realised it was just the clock playing up. Got a price from plumbase today for a mechanical clock (glowworm betacom 30he combi) and to my absolute disbelief they told me it would be £72 + vat. You guys will know these things are just cheap plastic things that cant cost more than a fiver to make, i felt sick!


Anyway, if there are any other engineers out there who know where to get a cheaper one from please let me know, and before you mention the digital option, they are available and 10 quid cheaper lol

thanks

bob

good idea but they want a working boiler,try a honeywell and bypass the clock on the boiler
