I have a Potterton Netaheat Electronic 10/16 gas boiler and the Gas Valve has broken. The part is obsolete (for 2 years) and i'm having problems getting hold of one.
Trouble is i'm in the process of selling the house so don't really want to spend the money on a new boiler so would rather patch up the existing one, if possible.
If done extensive searching on the Internet with no luck.
Any ideas where I could get hold of a secondhand Gas Valve or if its possible to refurbish/fix them?
Cheers
It took me all of 30 seconds to find this one

You will have to have an account but any gas fitter should be able to get them for you.

Peter, This Gas Valve is for the Potterton Netaheat (NOT the Electronic), there is a difference i'm told. Thanks for the response, though.

I have used the following people for gas valves in the past. They tend to work from manufacturers part numbers (e.g. Honeywell) rather than the boiler manufacturers part numbers. They seem to have quite a stock of original manufacturer parts.
