Ah. I see you were going to make the same mistake as the plumber by not calling it the 'air pressure switch' as it's called in the manual as well!I was just going to post 'air filter switch' but the plumber has beaten me too it...

I forgot to mention before. The plumber said he'd have to condemn the boiler mainly due to it having its cover taken off. He said it wouldn't fit back properly,which breaks the seal. He asked who did it. I told him it was my friend,egged on by some Cycle Chatters!

Maybe, maybe not... Let's say the kettles are 2 kw. That is about 8 amps each. 3 x 8 amps = 24 amps. That sounds quite a lot but perhaps a modern ring main can handle that?
When my boiler died in Hebden Bridge I just used to make do with one kettle of water for a good wash or to wash the dishes.

I didn't try the 3 kettles shower. The last time i did it,2 years ago i was safer on my feet. Boiling water in abundance isn't really worth it. If the local gym was open i'd go there for a shower,but it isn't so..

Hold on a moment. Christopher Plumber visits Accy's flat and the next thing we know he's brown bread?

Bit concerned here for you, if he goes back to the HA and says it is unserviceable because of interference by the tennant they may shift the blame and cost to you.

I'm kicking myself because when i asked where he (plumber) lived he told me he lived in Preston (about 15 miles away). I asked if he supported Preston North End. He said he did. I should've asked him if he was a relative of the famous Preston plumber.

My friend didn't remove any parts as such. He only turned those pressure releasing taps and stuff. The boiler has been playing up for years.It's been cutting out,banging,crackling etc before we looked at it yesterday. Even the plumber said it was 'ancient' (15 years old). The HA might not like me calling them useless,but it is a pretty useless service when no one answers an 'emergency' number after an hour of calling.

yeah posting a picture with a comment stating you've removed the panel might not be good,
My boiler is 15 years old. I'll be disappointed if I don't get another few years from it....
