In Ian's words

A regular customer's Worcester Bosch Greenstar oil boiler in Himley wasn't lighting, so there was no heating or hot water. It was due a service anyway.

I stripped the burner down and gave it a thorough clean, replaced the nozzle and reset the pump pressure. Then I reset the combustion and did a flue gas analysis.

It's back on with hot radiators and hot water and a nice warm house, ready for this heating season.
