Worcester Oil Heatslave 20/25 noise?

The boiler has been getting increasingly noisey over time, like something rubbing. My guess is the fan or motor as it seem to be coming from that area.
Anyone have any ideas as I will replace the part if I know what to buy.

Thanks.
It was both the fan (out of alignment) and the motor.
The bearings need replaced in the motor, I am trying to source a new motor at the moment but I have managed to get the system up and running by lubing the old bearings and fixing the fan.
Cheers!

Have you checked the system water pressure? could be low water pressure in heating system, Pressure Gauge should read 1-00Bar - 1.5Bar, if not fill using the filling loop, under the top panel on the boiler

If this isnt the problem it is probably the oil Burner motor

it may be the fan or the pump as they are the only 2 moving parts, but it's a job for a qualified engineer.
