Problems with Icos HE24 Boiler

[blueberrys]

We have had an ICOS HE24 boiler since summer 2004 and it worked fine for around 2 years. Over last 2 years we have had to call out a plumber every few months.

Current problem is that boiler is noisy/clunking and hot water doesn't work. The central heating comes on full belt when you try to turn hot water to ON even though the control panel says CH is OFF!

This has been a costly boiler and looks like it will continue to be so! Any ideas to solve the current problem please?

Replace the boiler with anything not made by Ideal.

Apologies for posting in wrong place! Was rather late last night when I posted!

Have got hold of my plumber who replaced a valve in March and he thinks the valve may be faulty as he has had a few others he changed go wrong in the last few weeks meaning that the boiler doesn't switch between CH and HW as it should.

Coming out this evening to replace for free. Here's hoping it fixes the problem!
