Have a run over to Magnums in Grimsby, they have loads of combies and cash prices are good. Yea know Grimsby is a bit of a dump but they have a fishing museum place and for a couple of quid its well worth it.

The cable fastens to a nipple on a flap on each exchanger, have a look underneath and the cables may have been disconnected and the flaps wired closed. either way fix them in the position opposite to what you find.

Fitting new ones is easy enough and theyre not dear.

GAS ? Is it new to you, did it work? If your sure you have gas on then when you set the stat and call for heat have a look at the box with the two light on, one lights when the voltage is too low, fan will keep running but it closes the gas solenoid. so stick a battery charger on and try again. Mike
