Has anyone had any problems with combi boiler spare parts supplied by Interpart? I have had two flow switches for my Myson Midas combi boiler, both leaked at the water outlet of the unit an hour after fitting. The body of the unit is plastic/carbon fibre so good alignment of the inlet and outlet copper pipes is essential but no force or strain was put on the unit during fitting. The old original flow switch has been re-fitted several times now and it never leaks. Whats going on??

You have bought a awful boiler! You could of had a worcester or vaillant installed for that kind of money! Wait to you need a part for that boiler you will see what I mean!

Thanks for the replies guys, both points taken. I do believe a faulty batch of switches is possible and after a re-think we have gone for a new boiler, could have ended up a money pit I guess. But OMG the cost of a boiler replacement! Picked out a Remeha Advanta 28c, its so much smaller and oh-so efficient, £2200 fitted with 3 new TRV's and a Seimens wireless thermostat. Straight forward installation on a kitchen wall so at about £1400 labour, thats two men for one days work, I was astounded. But hey! that seems to be the going rate, probably a bit more cos we picked a franchised outfit so theres middle men to pay, I realise that but, hopefully gives peace of mind if any probs later on. Thanks again.
