Boiler:
It's a Keston 50, one of the first condensing types, installed in 1998.
Had someone out Tuesday and all he did was reset an 'over hot water' cut-off switch, for £86.40, and all seemed well, but as soon as I fired it up again in the evening the gas lit but soon died and the control unit inside the cabinet was flashing 3-3-3 . . .
Phoned the service guy and was told that it would not be worth fixing if parts still available.
Hopefully my neighbour will ask his service guy to pop round later today, to give a second opinion.
I have absolutely no idea where or how to start checking.
Ruby:
Need to plan how much clean metal to remove around rusted areas, but still make replacement patches easy to make.
With the body tilted can see all the rust traps, small and eye popping, so these will be dealt with and documented.
