Vaillant ecoMAX 824/2 E

Went to above boiler today. Apparently only three and a half years old, it's got more leaks in it than a Welsh miners allotment. What a heap.
Anyway was wondering if anyone knew if the plastic "bush" connecting the condensate trap to the HE was available as a spare part on it's own. Manual is a waste of time and partscenter guy wasn't very helpful over phone. Cheers.

Word of advice, at that age make sure that it isnt leaking down the back of the Heat ex from the condensate collector!
The plastic collector was altered to sit into the heat exhanger around that time.
Everyone always thinks its coming from the nut underneath.
You will need the collector and the new rubber gasket by the way. Dont just order a new gasket.
Heat ex takes 10 mins to take out by the way.
