Welcome to OOF
You don't mean the headlight back rubber covers, do you? They are grey, and in the right situation. The things you remove to change bulbs.No mate,i know where they are and what they do.
The parts i mean are attached to the rad .I will try to get a pic up but bear with me as i have never done it.Dean.
Ok mate,i will take a pic and see if i can get it on here.As i have taken the middle plastic off as this whatever it is,was flapping against it and making the rattling.Dean....Andy B,you are absolutely right mate.But my old phone won't take pics,that i would know how to up-lode here..Dean.
You don't need to use a phone .... any digi camera will do
You mean the front fan casingsDG,but they seam to be attached to the first part of the rad,then there is a gap and the second part of the rad.What would i use to re secure them mate.Dean.Where would i find a pic of them online,as they don't come with a new rad DG.Dean.
These are actually fitted from the engine side, even though they are ahead of everything else.
Should simply push the tops towards the bumper to re secure
Andy B,you are absolutely right mate.But my old phone won't take pics,that i would know how to up-lode here.

Sounds like the Vacuum reservoirs.No pipes coming from them as far as i can see,they are gray plastic on the outside.And maybe foam or sponge or something,on the inside.They are defiantly siliconed to the outside of the rad,all round.Wish i had a phone to take a picture,i sound like a idiot.
Got thin plastic pipes coming from them ?
Dean.
How can they be under the engine cover, but in front of the radiatorHi TB,i can only explain like this.If you open the bonnet right at the front of the car, there are 3 pieces of plastic.One left covering the headlight one in the middle covering part of the rad(where you can put cam belt change info on a sticker)and one right covering the other headlight.The ones left and right can be undone by turning a screw,with a large flat blade screwdriver.The long black piece in the middle has 2 screws either end,and when you remove this the two parts seam to be glued or bonded to the front of the rad.I hope this makes sense

I can't say what parts are needed, fault codes are just an indication, the actual failed part could be many things, possibly flue fan.See my post above mate,i am an honest guy and would never rip anyone off.Dean.
some plumbers are lazy and are not prepared to diagnose a fault, some don't have a clue how to diagnose.a fault and just replace parts willy-nilly, or the whole boiler
combi boilers have many electrical safety systems, making them very safe. but complex. more of a job for an electrical engineer or fully trained technician.
A good plumber/technician would probably have diagnosed the fault ordered the part, a second visit to fit and test, probably £300
a new boiler is like buying a new car, some can be had with flue kit for around 500 .others would be treble that.
fitting (including commissioning, testing, certification, flushing, etc etc )maybe 500 quid
but in areas like London, with parking, congestion charge etc, prices vastly increase
[/quote]Dave found one on plumb base £505 +£45 flue kit,is fitting etc etc really £500.How much do plumbers charge per hour.Dean.

Why are you pricing this up ?
You are right DG,but i do actually know the LL personally. And would hate to think the plumber and the PMC are ripping him off,telling him the boiler is £1100 on its own.Dean.(Got cuppa going to watch a film)The cost of parts/new boiler are irrelevant...Dave,just out of curiosity.What parts would you need to fix it and how much,compared to buying a new one.When the plumber called to have a look at it,the wife recalls he said about £1100 for a new one Dean.From what I've been told in the past, BIASI boilers are cheap to buy, but the parts are very expensive which may be why your landlord has decided to replace rather than fix.sold in many places, crap compared to Bosch, Worcester bosch, Vaillant of the era
B&Q own brand I think maybe?
I'm not impressed with any of the new offerings
parts wise , I have used a company for many years called the heat exchange which are great ,should you ever need boiler parts
they list all the parts for that boiler at reasonable prices
https://www.theheatxchange.co.uk/appliance/biasi/riva-compact-he-m96-24sm-c2/1665
but it sounds like the PMC and plumber needed their holiday funds topped up
BECAUSE YOU AREN'T PAYING FOR IT.
Do yourselves a favour, pop the kettle on, have a nice cuppa and do something positive.
