That green boot as WB's solution to a design fault is still priceless. Don't bother fixing the design make an umbrella

Super impressive Dan! It’s such a pleasure to watch someone who really knows their stuff. I quite like those gloves! Thanks again for a great video - perfect to watch in a coffee break!

Thanks very much Steve! Glad you enjoyed it! Yeh these gloves are a decent quality, can’t remember who’s brand they are though 😂😂

Have you got any tips to change a red seal on a worcester erp, they're a nightmare as the electrodes are joined

What in da hell did I just watch? 19mins worth of a magic show ? Firstly there was GLOVES ? Secondly floating camera angles ? Look Ma no hands 😂 Highly impressed by your professionalism and production improvements mate !! It’s always a pleasure to watch grow and improve! Thanks Dan for another one

[@Heatking]

Thanks for the support mate as always. Tried a chest mount on this, although it wasn’t the best. Hopefully I’ll get back haha!

[@YoutubeHero666]

I like a Worcester repair am glad Worcester made so many parts to specifically fail they keep me in work! Am sure Worcester could source some plastic that does not turn to mush on the flow adaptors but nope they continue to make them! Great video enjoyed it all. also a brave man working on the cream carpet am sure I would have knocked that tea over and got a few splashes of black system water on it!

[@Heatking]

Haha cheers mate, I enjoy repairing them too! And you’re right I’m sure they could make something a bit more robust!

[@alanjones1301]

put hacksaw through manifold beyond the by-pass (don't cut through by-pass 😂) makes life easier mate 👍

[@harrysahota4072]

Is it worth repairing a 15 year odd old boiler with £160 in parts and probably £150 in labour. Next few months the left hand block will go or the fan pcb etc etc they just become a money pit after a while...

[@Heatking]

Probably not to be honest mate, but I always give the customer the two options. 🙏🏽

[@charliewillis8527]

You have got a point but with most boilers nowwell over £1000 it's worth repairing them and with the cost of living now not money people have got that money

[@Heatking]

@@charliewillis8527 yeh I’m noticing that much more these days. People just simply don’t have the funds

[@user-li8gr8ur8l]

Top job Dan. That was in depth as usual..❤ you know the rhb you just fitted is there different options like without diverter motor etc?

[@Heatking]

Thank you mate, yes you can get another option with no DV and a few other bits missing. It’s about £60 cheaper. But they’re a special order at my place so I just normally use this one. Thanks for the support buddy 🙏🏽

[@TheAndye1]

Boggles my mind when a customer pays that kind of money to keep a 14 year old boiler going. I also heard you say you stripped it down last year also. Literally could have bought and fit a new one. Totally not a dig at you btw. Great vid

[@Heatking]

Sorry didn’t mean strip it down, I meant replaced the flow turbine adapter last year haha. Never serviced this boiler. Its a customer what doesn’t get it serviced just repaired 🙄 cheers for the support mate 🙏🏽

I hate that hand shredding Cr#p ! Not a fan of repairing WB boilers, the oil stuff is even worse than the gas. I am genuinely mystified how they were Which magazine top pick for so long? As all the service guys I know think the same as me........

[@Heatking]

I don’t mind repairing them to be honest, it’s good money and normally straight forward. But you’re right they do cut your hands to piece’s haha, as for which magazine, I’m not sure who votes for that.

[@julianhawker7672]

@@Heatking I repair them but don't like them. Baxi cheaper, easier to work on, spares better priced and a Technical dept who are not RUDE on the odd ocasion I ever have the need to call. ( unlike WB muppets) To me Baxi beat WB hands down on all counts . Vailiant all the way though, IF the customer has the funds...... Have a good week mate. 👍
