Yes I read that but my boilerman doesn't seem to have picked that up and the part he has ordered, I'm not sure is the right one

As we neither know the fault that has been diagnosed nor the part that has been ordered, it's not entirely clear to me as to how anyone here can provide a meaningful reply to your post!

Sorry!

Yes fine. I just wondered if anyone had encountered this fault and were able to resolve it or purchased a new boiler

Maggie ... it is a serious, possibly dangerous, fault warning. Probably overheated boiler or heat exchanger for some reason. I would trust your gas safe registered engineer on this one. It looks like it may be expensive mind.

That's what concerns me. The part he has ordered isn't that expensive and looking on YouTube it is not the part they say is at fault. I don't want to sound like I am undermining him as I'm no expert

Maggie ... the usual complaint is that gas engineers are over egging the pudding with their "diagnosises and parts required" projections. The fitter will not leave you with a dangerous or damaged boiler when he has finished. Forget "online doom merchants" and learn to trust a qualified tradesman. If he has diagnosed the fault then he is taking responsibility for the repair. I think that you are lucky to have an honest gas engineer doing the job. I you want a big bill I can send you one. :)) Quack.
