Been having an intermittent problem with my boiler. Although self installed, Viessmann have been very helpful and looked at it under warranty. The engineer reckoned it was a software funny - as he'd seen it before on other boilers but not all of this type. It shows a sensor as being at fault, but a reset gets it going again. Usually happens first thing when it changes over from heating the water to the house. This was last Monday - and he apologised for not having the correct parts with him but would call again when he had. Which was this morning - he phoned at about 11.00. Explained to him I usually had to go out between 11.30 and 12.30 due to resident's only parking then - I have two cars but only one pass. But thought I had a vistor's pass so it would be ok. If I hadn't I would sit in my car with the bonnet up 'till he was finished. But did find that single visitors pass I had left. Never even thought about him...
And of course he got a ticket. It never even occurred to me. Would he have to pay for that himself? I'm feeling so guilty about it as he was such a nice bloke.
