    Hi folks, where would the best place be to pickup 2 Sime boiler parts?

    They are the limit stat. & a microswitch for the water flowswitch. My plumber got a silly price off Hevac today, so just want to shop around to see if there is a cheaper alternative before proceeding with Hevac.

    Not in a hurry, so don't mind if it's in-store or online.

    Thanks.

    What's wrong with it that you need a high limit stat and a micro switch . Pretty random combination

    According to the plumber these are the 2 parts I need. It's intermittently stopping when fired up and up to temperature, LEDs flip from permanent green and orange to just a flashing orange. It is also intermittently not starting up, the pump engages but just doesnt fire up resulting in the permanent green LED becoming a flashing orange one.

    Make sure the filter is clear and that the manual bypass is open before commiting to ordering parts .
    Dirty filter can cause the issues with start up.
    And if the bypass is closed/blocked this can cause over heating in the event of zone valves shutting down ( if you have them fitted)
    As for the parts , ring chadwicks / heat merchants etc. or if you can get the sime part numbers , do a google search and see if you can get them from the uk
