Oil Heatslave parts?

[Burnerman]

This may be a bit of a long shot, but I need a spare 6 terminal plug and socket that connects the Heatslave burner to the boiler itself....presumably it comes with the wires already connected. Often the burner side cable is in a blue plastic sheath.
Typical boilers are the 12/14 and 15/18.
Does anyone have any links, please?
Cheers and good evening
John

i'm sure your usual stockist can order specially for you, but no doubt it will be very expensive, like many specific Worcester parts.(£24 plus vat for a 1/4" isolating bulkhead valve.) A dodge that you can use, as it is only the outer part of the plug that breaks, is to secure to the bottom of the control box with insulating tape, although the friction on the pins is more than sufficient.

I'm sure one will turn up somewhere...the problem was, this particular boiler had the socket one way lugs snapped off, so muggins here plugged in and switched on.....
After the smoke and smell had cleared, I found the tracks on the back of the PCB had vapourised
Simple enough to repair though - I just want to avoid a repetition

That's unlucky; the last one I had like that just threw the RCD. Would have thought it would have taken the quick blow fuse first in the absence of an RCD.

Been there done that

Had a Simlar problem last week, custard complaining the boiler was blowing main 5amp fuse, checks fuse at spur and it's good, checks fuse on board also ok, had 240v cross L/N but sod all leaving the pcb.
Found a dry joint on the board, so collects a replacement and fit it, power it all up and gets a big flash from somewhere around the underside of the control panel fascia quick blow fuse now in pieces

That burner wiring loom connecting plug was shorting down to earth on e/v bracket, had to insulate the plug with tape to stop it.

I have ordered the the parts in case it happens again I will find out the part no for you

Not so lucky, I'm afraid.....nothing tripped, the 3.15A fuse was in pieces and there was nothing left of the tracks on the back of the board - it went off with a hell of a bang. Mind you, I did have the plug completely 180 deg out, so it was forgivable
