Hi all,

Got a problem with my boiler, its been like this for a while but thought id get it fixed before the winter!

Basically ive got Vokera Mynute 20se, and when I switch the heating or hot water on, the boiler ignites, its fine for a few minutes and then the boiler cuts off and re-ignites.

It keeps looping like this, cutting off, waiting a few seconds then re-igniting, then fine for a few seconds then cutting off again.

Any ideas? Its about 11 years old, so should I be looking at getting it replaced? Is it a big job to get it replaced?

Thanks, really appreciate the help.
 
Has it got a thermostat?

It's fairly costly to get your boiler replaced, but really depends on what you want doing...;

  • Does it need moving?
  • Do you need any new pipework laying?
  • Do you want combi?
  • How many bedrooms?
  • How many rads do you want?
 
I would just pick up the yellow pages and ring around telling the people on the other line you want a quote to fix it. You could also try the manufactuer of the boiler. I would suggest trying a number of engineers also since you might find one guy can fix it and another guy who will try to sell you something you might not even need ( a new boiler for instance if they old one is fixable)
 
maybe just get someone out ? it shouldnt cost too much to have it fixed, much cheaper than buying a new boiler..

in order to fix it, someone needs to come out as its illigal for you to work on it anyway, so you may as well ask who ever you get out to tell you what the fault is..
