I have a Vokera Excel 80 SP(10 years old) which is playing up, when drawing hot water the boiler seems to cut out intermittently, so when you are in the shower you keep getting cold water coming through. (shower is a mira excel mixer) this problem also occurs when drawing water through taps. Helpful local plumber says it's time for a new boiler but I'm sceptical! Any ideas?

It is getting towards the end of its useful life.
However, even my current trainee would be able to suggest what the fault is and would tell you that its quite easy to fix if you are CORGI registered.
Problem is fixing it is about £84 at our London prices and fitting a new boiler is £300-£700 ( plus boiler! ). So there is a vested interest involved in NOT fixing it.

Since the fan is part of the "gas train" the CORGI view is that it should only be worked on by a registered person.
For this reason, I would never suggest that an unregistered person did this. I could be held legally liable for encouraging someone to do something he is not competent to do.
