Just back from a 3 week holiday travelling around Europe and went to a Boiler service for my first job, Potterton SE boiler customer been in house 2 years first time they've had it checked, gave them the good news once I checked it out. Boiler looks at least 8 years old.

ratio 0.0125
CO 1098

air intake
o2 17%
ratio 0.006

not enough free flowing clean air and when you went out to flue it completely stunk of gas, customer also reported odd smell of gas when boiler on(tightness test passed) I see no other option but to replace boiler with plume kit to divert to a more open area, that window was into the kitchen and was openable.
