  1. My old boilers playing up and I don't mean the wife.

    Ideal Classic FF350 fires up ok then runs for erm not long and goes out. Then wont fire up again for about 10 mins after switching it on and off. I ha d downloaded the owners/install PDF and had root around and Im thinking gas valve? or could it be the overheat thermostat? or something else but before I go spunking money on parts could do with help
