Boiler not working after short use

[Thomas Rothwell]

Hi -

Just wanted to see if I could get some sort of diagnosis with regard to some boiler issues I've been having, just so I know how much it's likely to cost.

So, the problem is thus:
We can turn the boiler on (heating/hot water) with no problem. After, say, a full bath has been run or the heating has been on for an hour or so - the boiler will click off and refuse to work again for 2+ hours.

Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be?

I have attached some pictures of the interior of the boiler, it seems one of the pipes has corroded quite badly, so the problem might stem from this?

I'm assuming that the boiler is one of the crappier Wooshitter Botch models? You haven't deemed it necessary to tell us....

Haven't got a scooby doo. I'm guessing it is one of the cheapest models possible, inherited from the previous owner. Not had a service since 2001.

Has been installed by British Gas though.

Over heating issue maybe but pay the manufacture to sort unless you have a engineer that is happy to work and fix these boilers.
I'm not a fan as they leak all the time and cut your hands changing parts
Good luck
