Spares for Potterton boilers?

I have a Potterton Netaheat 10-16 Mk 2 boiler. It works perfectly and we have a very efficient gravity=fed system. The gas board are urging me to buy a new boiler, saying spares for mine are getting more amd more difficult to obtain and some can't be found already. Is this true? Are all parts still available?

Hi John
nothing wrong with it. That's the problem - keep being hassled by gas board but feel why change when it appears very efficient and cost effective for my house? Thanks for your advice

I'm in the same position as you and discovering that some spares are hard to find (and very expensive if you do). Try ebay and keeptheheaton.com. or try Google searches for a specific item (have you got the list of part numbers?). These old boilers are pretty inefficient by modern standards now (50-60% efficiency v 80-90%?), so we may have to bite the replacement bullet soon. What's wrong with yours? John
