Yes this is the metal flange the sump pushes onto. The boiler is about 6 years old. I bought the property a year ago. I took out a homecare plan with british gas as the boiler had a bad history. It packed up the day before the engineer came over for an intial visit to service the boiler before the plan started. He belived from the state of it that no maintenance had been carried out, hence all the corrosion.

This seems a bit suspect to me.
Be diligent and try and find an independant Corgi Engineer who is competent with this type of boiler (I know it's easier said than done) but that way you will be able to tell if BG are trying the old trick of wanting to install a new boiler, when its not necessary. It can't be that corroded, its 6 years old !

I have viewed the metal flange. You can see where it has crumbled away. Perhaps maybe you can still make a good seal.
Sounds like it's had it.

the cylinder is no longer available and hasn't been for a year or two so there's a good chance it's had it. the biggest trouble with this boiler is potterton haven't bothered giving it a decent spares back up. i suspect this is mainly because they know it's a bad design with many flaws and don't want anything to do with it. these boilers do like to corrode in places.
