A boiler that meant so much to ma . Pcb faults down to engineers being to heavy a handed. A 5 hour full strip down service and I could have a suprima brand new again.
Back in the day (90's) when those old ones were new, I no end of grief with breakdowns on new boilers, boards mainly, in the end potty came up with a retrofit that involved changing the whole boiler wiring harness and a completely different board IIRC. Agreed: garrages were the best place for them, Easy to work on though compared to some current stuff.......
@@julianhawker7672 it was due to the PCB getting too hot believe it or not cause it was right next to a boiler (who would of thought of that) hence the cassette came out
It was never a good idea turning a standard Suprima into a HE appliance. Condemned so many of these, just not worth spending 💰 on ! Luckily its not a 70-80HE as would have a £269 DC fan on top of the bill & very common when the turret fails..
Unfortunately, Potterton lost their way when they "improved the Prima/ Profile range". DC gas valve to overcome the original AC valve issues, pcb issues and fan related problems which Potterton failed to resolve let alone fully accept! Such a shame, because, after the glowworm fuelsaver range the prima/profile range was bomb proof. Now we have the latest generation of "high tec, high efficiency boilers" that it seems we accept a 10-12year economic life span as acceptable!
Suprima a brilliant little boiler, had one in my house for 20 years, and its not had any parts except for 5 PCBs and 2 fans and a gas valve.
🤣🤣🤣
🤣😂
triggers boiler
Good to see you back, Dr P!
Whoops Dr Pipe new boiler really matey nice to see you again 😀
nice to see you back
The flue core on the horizontal adaptor was aluminium which rots causing this problem. The new ones are now plastic. Easy and cheap fix.
Good evening Dr!
Great catch with that flu. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome content as per ! Great that your back !

The main doc 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🇮🇪
Suprimas get a lot of hate but i really like the old ones, nice neat compact boiler. great appliances if you've got an outbuilding to house them.

Thats not been serviced for a very long time. Safely inspection at best but never dismantled and properly serviced.
safe isolation?

hello sir i am in london i want to be your apprentice i want to learn work from you teach me work
Always welcome
Turning these into “condensing” I say condensing cause they never actually condense was a waste of time
And fitted in a bathroom 🥴
Concentric flue. I guess it is room sealed boiler but I'm not a expert.
