Can you see the entire run of the gas pipe inside your house to the boiler? could be worth checking in that, like I said earlier I did one and the gas run was blocked solid with carbon, could have a kink in one of the bends ect

I don't think it's in the house Matt, gas guys could see the drop at the supply side. Whatever they could find it's been enough for them to spend at least 2 full days on it so far. If they manage to get the new pipe across tonight I should find out.

sound, must be in the street then, they must know what theyre doing, Baxi / Potterton / Main boilers seem to be very intolerant with low gas pressure, which is good really
if you had put some cheap shit in you would never had known and it wouldnt have been right
installer should be checking this while its being commisioned tut tut

To be fair we had the hot water running for ages to bring up all the black stuff and it ran fine. Not sure what's happened tbh, as long as it fixes it.
They seem to be having problems with their wee underground machine so digging the road up now for new pipe. Hopefully have found out by later on.

Gas back on and now the boiler doesn't work at all aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Guy that turned the gas on had a piss about for 5 mins, said faulty boiler and left.
If I had to pay somebody to come out and look at that it would cost a fortune.
Mate's coming to hopefully sort it out for good tomorrow.

the burner pressure needs testing on the boiler. if its getting 17mb or over at the burner then the pipework is fine and its the boiler at fault. Ive never had a DOA promax though, and Ive litteraly done hundreds of them
pressures on the boiler need doing before you do anything else

It'll be something simple that needs adjusted I'm guessing.
It's not firing up at all now, completely different than my original problem. the boiler was only getting 14mb so that makes sense.
I'm hoping that all going well it'll be working properly by tonight.

Working 
This particular one was the spark gap, we had the burner out for a reason I can't remember, it's been knocked at some point.
Roasting hot water at full pelt now.
