Parts for a Concord WRS 240 boiler?

Question

I have the above boiler it appears to have developed a fault with eithe

the gas valve or the thermostat control unit. I've done a search on th net and can't find any specific parts for this boiler which is no surprising since it is ancient. Does anybody here know whether part are still available, or whether any modern parts are compatible wit this boiler? What sort of cost am I looking at for these sorts of part just so I can guard against any creative accounting by anyone I get i to have a look. Also if worst comes to worst what sort of price are yo looking at for a new boiler of similar ilk, i.e. wall mounted, gravit fed. Thanks

The gas valve is probably the same as one used in other similar boilers or that era. However unless you are really confident that you can find the correct replacement you had better face up to the fact that it's well best it's best.

See the BoilerChoice FAQ.
