Right hopefully this pic I just took is understandable? The original connectors are stuffed back in and I took the resistance between them and its a billion ohms.
Edit: Tom: I will delete this photos in a few days to keep your site tidy.

Sorry, I'm not much help beyond the basics on this generation of all in one boilers. However, they do seem to have inherited the same knack of breaking down just when you need them the most  ! I hope that you can get it going in time. |

The fan coil should be around 30-40 ohms if memory serves me right?
Looks like your fan is fucked(technical trade term)!!

I always blow gently OVER / ABOVE the end of the tube, an inch or so away from mouth, you'll be amazed how easy it is to tear the paper membrane! Should still hear a click.

<Apologies for writing to much rubbish - in a good mood !>
Well, I got up early this morning and met the DHL man half way down the drive.
After putting it in situ in the boiler I couldn't resist seeing if it would fire. I think was a stupid thing to do (not least it mentions in the manual NOT to do it but I only saw that afterwards) but it did fire although a lot of blowing type noise as I suppose it was too open to the elements and it didn't light first time. Once I had screwed it all down tight against the fire rope and then sealed the case against the rubber-like case seal it started beautifully ! Its in a drafty garage so I'm not too paranoid about CO but put a regular detector nearby anyway. (Yes I know an FGA would be much better...)
I have to send back the faulty fan to get a £40 rebate so I'll ask him if he's kind enough to tell me what was wrong with it. I did notice the electrical contacts on the new fan look different in that they are metal. Its is as if on my old fan the contacts when removed ripped themselves out of the fan. So maybe they snapped deep inside the unit thus losing electrical continuity.
I dunno but thanks to everyone who helped me - it was all very helpful.
Now Dick will cringe, but this is the first bit of work I've done on my boiler where I've started to understand how it works. Tom told me in the past that my boiler is simple and is easy to fix (I think thats roughly what he said). So I'm happy knowing that if something goes wrong I can hopefully fix it - I'm sure there are many other things that can go wrong though. The gas valve looks complicated for example (and Dick would turn in his grave if a diy dafty was messing with that).
One of the main problems custards like me would face in getting a GasSafe person out is how do you know A/ If he knows that boiler and B/ If he is intelligent enough and willing to figure out what part is faulty. Or is he just going to make a load of crap up and then say you need a new boiler.
By the way, how do you hear of issues of boilers leaking water? As far as I know the boiler itself has no need to access water so it just a copper pipe straight in and out through the combusion chamber.....

I’m also pleased you got it going Dafty these SE boilers are simple in operation & will last a lifetime.
Unless, an unscrupulous scoundrel like my good self gets a hold of it, it’ll be on the grass in no time, a new all singing & all dancing high efficiency condensing boiler on the wall. Of course, you’ll be £3-4K lighter - but hey, don’t expect integrity & you’ll not be disappointed....👍👍👍😂😂😂😂😂💷💷💷💷💷.....Kerching!!....Kerching!!
