          well i think it's because of the weather it's not working.....it's a condenser boiler and apparently the condenser pipe can freeze up and it's really common.......I've tried pouring hot water over the pipe but it hasn't made a difference. Will just leave it till the engineer comes now.......

            After you have it fixed try insulating the pipe to protect it from freezing? This usually works.
            I google because I'm not young enough to know everything.

                      Think the replacement fan would cost a couple of hundred pounds hope he can recycle the one you have.........mine has been acting up lately as well think I will have to get the boiler replaced it's ancient ......or I'll have to buy an new duvet

                            Glad you are getting organised Katie. I had to replace the boiler a few years ago, it is not cheap

                            • well I wouldn't know about that! (re warm woman)

                              Still, I've learnt from this experience........going to make sure I have lots of heaters in future, plus extra duvets and some fuel for the fire (didn't have any in as thought we were moving and i'd cleaned and blacked the grate and everything) and hot water bottles. We're so dependent on central heating that we forget we used to get by very well without it......

                                well the boiler is ten years old, and I think they last 15 on average, so I hope it lasts a bit longer
