You should be able to see an arc across the electrodes when it is trying to ignite?


Removed it (and the ignition transformer) and there is a nasty crack across on part of the electrode. Connections were also black and brittle. Unlikely to get a good spark, I think.

Black transformer box is bloated and puffy. I'm guessing it is the original from 1999.

Picture of the last girl you can see the shape of the implant. :o

Best one is the leggy black girl 'taken from behind' ::) ::) 8)
That's her hair. I told you looking at threads like this would make you go blind.

I think it's what he's doing while he's looking at the thread, that will make him go blind!  :-X                                                                                  ;D

Dare I say it but a few here are still sexually active with real flesh and blood women.

Others seem to inhabit  a 'female free' zone. :)
That's woman, I'm sure, not women.  :)
And, as Groucho Marx once said, making love to your wife is like shooting at sitting ducks.

It could be considered polite to have sex with the sister(s) of your wife.

We are always being told we need to be more inclusive. :)
It could also be considered fatal  ;D

He was always banging on about moving to Canada.

Who on here as any experience of these?

Looks like our old oil boiler from 1999 is pretty shot, so not worth throwing good money after bad in order to get it to limp on for another couple of years.

We have a plentiful supply of wood, so commercial wood pellets for the biomass boiler would not be required. This would help with running costs.

Also, I believe there is a £5000 government grant available.

Unless the heat exchanger and baffles are completely shot, it's always possible to keep them going for affordable money. All the bits to fix the burner are generally pretty cheap.


I think I have eliminated most of the possible culprits....

There is plenty of oil getting to the pump and nozzle, but no spark.

Photocell seems to function as it should.

This leaves the control box and ignition transformer.

My money's on the transformer or possibly shorted electrodes. Should be able to check the transformer windings with an ohm meter, although that might not catch all failure modes.

Thanks, Kevin.

I cleaned the igniter tips and they seem nice and sharp.....also checked the gap which was correct at about 3mm.

I may rip the transformer off and see if there is anything obvious.
