I've not really got an idea, but from guessing apart, its not completely left of stage.

The fan could cost you £80 or more, so £115 is a bargain

Job's being done tomorrow so I'll report back on whether it's a good deal or not! Thanks for the replies, guys.
Of course, it's my diagnosis of a knackered fan so we'll see if I'm right. Very noisy, runs for a while then judders to a halt, a blast of WD40 gets it going again for another couple of hours... sounds like a dodgy fan...right?

Hmmm. Seems like a very good price, then.
Thanks guys.
Thanks guys.
I replaced one recently to a Baxi solo, it costs me £115 inc vat.

Diagnosis is good.
British gas get them going again with a spray like you, to save them buying a new one under the terms of their contract. Only when the spray eventually fails do they put the part in.
I only spray them until the new part arrives from Preston.

Used to but hasn't been available for a few months due to the propellant.....waste of time really as it only tends to work for a couple of weeks which causes it to come back as a recall. It's easier just to replace the fan rather than risk the job coming back in.
If this is the genuine manufacturer's part then I dont see how he can do it at that price.
Make sure it comes in the original box and has the right labels!
Perhaps he is really a BG engineer working on the side using BG parts off his van? ( In which case he is not CORGI registered for work on the side ).

PS For those who dont believe this happens, a friend with a nicely sign written van is constantly getting stopped by other vans offering "cheap spare parts".

Agile how hard is it to go through life being absolutely perfect always declaring every penny you earn to the tax man never buying anything that may not be 100% legite and doing every job so perfect an exactly by the book. As the guy said 2000 years ago let them within sin cast the first stone .
'tis being done through a friend of a friend, but he's a Corgi registered spannerman, so if it goes again I'll send Big Jock and his mates round to have a word...
Ok, repairs completed. Part was in a sealed Baxi box, fitted in 15 minutes, all systems go. A job well done.
