Being boiled

hirezAs appears traditional for the winter season, the combi boiler has been playing up. It would randomly fail to restart and sit there blinking its error LED gormlessly.
I was mostly of a mind to just prod the reset button and hope it came back, which it did mostly. However, there was always the cheery thought whenever it required a second or third reboot that perhaps this was when it had finally had enough.
I rang the nice people who put it in. The obviously harried woman on the end of the phone told me that they didn't do repairs any more and that I should ring some chap called Andy. Obviously, his mobile number rang out and I left a message, expecting to have to work my way through the Yellow Pages starting with Mr AAA Hot Water. [/Severed Heads]
The chap rang back. Would first thing tomorrow be ok? (today)
Well, yes. Obv.
He turned up when he said he would, poked at the boiler for a bit in an effort to make it break (intermittent fault y'see) and in servicing the thing discovered it most likely that the control board was expiring.
Which was nice.
