    Please note; In the UK, under the Gas Safe regulations, it is illegal for anyone other than a Gas Safe Registered Engineer to remove the covers from any gas boiler or gas appliance. If an unauthorised person was to service the boiler / appliance and it resulted in a death caused by faulty work then the unauthorised person would be spending several years in prison.

    I am presently sitting in a cold house because my Worcester Bosch Greenstar 37cdi combi boiler has been wrongly labelled as needing lots of new parts by a HomeServe fitter. A new PCB is on the way even though there is zero evidence of a fault by looking at it. What is more easy to diagnose is the pump which runs perfectly and quietly ie. Good bearings. The original error code was for overheating but I believe this might be due to a faulty sensor. If you could do a video on testing them it would help me a lot. Please keep up the good work.
