I feel like I should get a new board anyway been in house 16 years and that seems old to me
if it ain't broke, why fix it? if fitted correctly in the first place, @ 16 years, should be good for a lot more years yet.£450 and she wouldn't pay it when spending 15k on a kitchen -

BG's aggressive,sales driven policy of condemning,fault-free installations,is something i have described,many times,over the last 10 years.
I fully expect it to be the PPI job,of the future.
All that would take,would be a list of people,who believe they were wrongly sold,over-priced and un-required services,and one or more ex-employees,at higher level,to confirm this,as a policy
Sums it up rather well, I'd say.I used to sub to DNO's installing PME terminals. Many jobs came about from BG engineers telling the customer a PME terminal was required when in fact their earth was perfectly adequate. At £180.00 a pop. Don't entertain BG for anything.
If needed to call in someone to fix my boiler, my first choice would not be BG. Ask your neighbours if they can recommend a local independant gas fitter.Firstly I don't know if I'm allowed here as I am not an electrician
I have a question though....
Just had british gas out here to service my boiler
He refused to carry out service because voltage stick glowed when he touched the casing on speaking with another gas engineer he tells me that as 240 volts go through the boiler then the voltage stick may just light anyway.
You can touch the casing without any ill effects
On speaking with British Gas engineer, he then put a meter into one of my upstairs sockets and said it read 100 oms and that this would be classed as dangerous, quickly followed by he isn't an electrical engineer.
Obviously this has made me worry as reading was in my sons bedroom.
my questions are...
1. The volt stick is it a true indicator of fault?
2. Is 100 oms too much for a plug socket and if so how dangerous?
3. As plug sockets and boiler on 2 separate rings then how can there be a fault on both?
