No gas safe badge mate , is it on its way ?

It’s being sorted mate. He has sent me his details. But I have been a bit busy. I’ll pull my socks up and crack on now though.

No problem pal , hes a bit slow sometimes lol

Here comes the abuse

No abuse mate.cannot argue with the truth

AMG I did, it was full of the aluminium/carbon from the system, the entire condensate trap is now cleaned.

Can't be this though anyway surely, as the boiler would not get to ignition if locked out.

Is the sump clean too?

Yes it can the condensate water will build up. Causing it to lock out.

Ok all, an update on this friggin Potterton.

I couldn't rest as it's getting on my nerves not being successfully in fault finding this boiler.

I went back to to tenants house (obviously I won't be charging for this) and could not replicate the issue.

The boiler was on when I arrived and the tenant said it came on without him having to flip the reset. I turned it off and on numerous times but it lit without fail each time.

I check the lines for water anyway and all is good.
Nothing stands out now
I am now decided that the gas valve is not the issue.

Maybe an intermittent ignition PCB fault which ran alongside the blocked condensate?

 

[king of pipes]

Rectification fault maybe ? I have had this on a slightly squashed ignition lead resulting in a weak spark and failing to ignite the gas pilot causing nuisance lockouts, worth checking . Kop

Set of new electrodes should sort it. Had a very similar problem on a floor standing Potterton of the same burner. The white wires going into the electrodes seem to have a bad connection after a number of years.

And before anyone says, yes GSR. Awaiting on Admin also
