So I did my first full Worcester Greenstar service today.. cleaned out the burner and didn't bother testing the fan pressure to see if it needed it or not.
Mainly being that the mis say to do it with a digital gauge and I don't have one.
Can it not be done with a normal u-gauge?
Had some random employment agency ring me up today saying would i lim,e to work for them on contract blah blah blah.
Anyway they said i must pass phone exam and name 5 electrical tests i must do before working on any boiler . I failed because could only think of 2 maybe 3 .

I'm installing a built in gas fire (tv fire) manufactured by DRU it is a global 55cf.
Reading through the instructions about the spillage test. It states in the mi that to do the test you messuage the pressure rather than use a smoke match. Has any body done this before and what it the best...
Even putting a rad back on after decorating? May have just got bitten by a leak occurring once hot in that situation. Would mean charging more than min labour in some situations/losing job.
