Spare parts - Burner for a Malaga 4 Storage Water Heater

Benbecul97

I have a Malaga 4 Storage Water Heater - Gas Model.
The heater worked perfectly fine last year but is not working this year. Today, I took it to a Motorhome garage to get it checked over.

They told me that the heater is igniting fine but it is burning a big yellow flame that is extending up the exhaust pipe.
They told me that it should be a blue flame and that it should not extend up the exhaust pipe as it is in danger of burning the external plastic housing.
As it is now if the heater is used it is a hazard.

They mentioned that the heater needs a new burner, and possibly also a new injector assembly, and with these new part(s) installed should work fine again.

Anyone, an idea on where I'd get these spare parts? Any idea of prices?

Friend has an older one when we pulled out the burner it was a ball of rust. I'm sure Aidan_M_M will know more about your model.

@ Aidan_M_M:
Will this burner blade that moodrater linked above work on the Malaga 4 model?
Is the injector assembly a separate part or included in the burner blade?
Based on the problem description do you think this new burner blade will resolve the problem?
How much will it cost / long will it take for you to bring in that part from Propex?

Thanks in advance.
