Boiler issues
Former Community Member
We have a Potterton Combi boiler, it was losing pressure. Engineer replaced the diverter valve and said it was corroded. It worked fine for a few days before making a loud banging noise for s few minutes which stopped when the sink taps were on. It was ok for a couple of days and then went off completely. The engineer says the circuit board needs replacing but I'm wondering what caused the issue with the circuit board & whether it will just blow again. I think the boiler is about 8 years old. Any advice welcome.
Mind you the wiring in those halls would not have withstood an electric kettle..

I worked in a teachers' training college building many years ago called Shoreditch Teachers' Training Collage in Egham Surrey I believe. All of the student accommodation only had 2 Amp 3 pin sockets in the rooms. The local electrical shop made up and sold converter leads from the 2 Amp 3 pin sockets to a trailing 13 Amp socket. Needless to say corridor supply fuses were forever blowing.
Also, 98 per cent of the trainee teachers had a copy of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album. Perhaps they needed to plug their record players in.
