My old myson is fine apart from a break in the seal. british gas have it on their 3 star cover and just condemned it claiming they cannot get the seals from Myson as they are no longer manufactured. The usual ploy by BG to get us to to buy a boiler from them.

Is there a roll of this seal anywhere on a pallet anywhere in the world I can get hold of? I'm out of work at the moment and this could not happen at a worse time for mwe financially for the sake of a stick seal costing a few quid only or less so if I can get the seal my corgi registered plumber friend said he would fix and get my boiler back on. Anybody help?

Hi Perry,

Sorry to not be able to give you an answer here, but I wonder if you managed to resolve your situation? I think I've had the exact same thing happen to me, moved into a new house and the boiler is missing a strip of white rubber-type material off the back of the front panel.

Gas engineer said it was an obsolete part and I'd need a whole new boiler.

Did you manage to resolve this?

Best
