    Oil boiler gone. Rads all cold. Plenty of oil. Went and bled it and not firing up at all. Anyone recommend anyone that looks at these. In the Sallins area.

    Same happened here, turned out to be the photocell....
    €20 to buy or get someone in and it's done (although at a hefty premium).....but then it could be something else and it's €20 wasted....

    Must be something in the air - same haapend mine yesterday. I'm guessing photocell from checking online.

    I'll be getting service done at same time to make it worth calling out someone.

    True, hence the hefty premium.....without a receipt mind you!
    But you just pull out the photocell and replace it in a minute. It's almost plug and play on mine - but I didn't have one....hence the call out....
    I cleaned off the injectors, hovered out the furnace but would stop short of messing with electrics.
    Last time (in a previous house) I just bought a new burner (Then €100 but now anywhere from €200 - €350 depending on the model and supplier) and plumbed/wired it up.
