Hello, I have been informed that my Glow Worm 24Ci requires a new diverter valve and actuating motor. I've been told the cost to source, buy and install these will be £540 (inc. VAT) but this is as much as it would cost me to buy a replacement boiler. Unfortunately I'm in Australia right now, and have let my South London flat out to tennants, so I have no way of even knowing if the boiler is broken, or my agent is misleading me. Does the cost sound right to you? All help gratefully received. JJ

I would suspect that it requires a valve OR a motor, but in spite of not knowing the price of these parts it seems far too much, if that is indeed the fault. Were any fault codes displayed? Your best bet would be to contact Hepworths/ Glow Worm

and ask them to make a service call, I'm sure they will be honest and will only do what is required, without conning you.
There are too many dodgy 'repairers' about, and it's giving the good guys a bad name!

In this country yes every thing is expensive.Advice why not take out insurence with B.G. to cover boiler & radiators.I am glad I did
as I had a leak & it cost hundreds to repair which british gas repaired.
