I've looked at this online and some do have tiny grub screws but they're real sods to get to and even then prizing the b******s off gets you thinking "Is this right - or what?!"
We got such a Control knob here on our gas fire, which is mounted on the Back Boiler.
With this one you have to dismantle the whole front of the flippin' things to get to the teeny grub screw to take the knob off - no thanks!
I get my plumber / Gas man Nick the Italian in to service the thing every year and it still works a treat despite being 37 years old - it's basic and sod-all on it to go wrong - Nick told me! stevmk2

Bloody boiler won't light now
. Had to call a gas guy out. Took a look myself and I think it just needs a service as there are all cobwebs over everything. I brushed em off with a feather duster but that didn't do much good. Maybe time to consider a new boiler and fire - maybe that is.

I mean it - I shouldn't laugh at the misfortunes of others and I offer my profound apologies because this thread have me in fits of laughter.
I really feel so terribly guilty mate but you have the knack of putting things in such a way that brings tears to my eyes.
I'm so sorry and I really hope you get it all sorted. stevmk2

Re: Baxi Bermuda Fire Won't Light!
I moved into this bungalow where there was a Baxi Bermuda. My first job was to rip it all out along with the flue liner. Primarily because it rarely started. I then installed a cast iron open fireplace. Best thing I could have done! Lovely open fires in the winter.24-05-2014, 12:29 PM

Re: Baxi Bermuda Fire Won't Light!
Dunno whether to renew the heating system and sell the house or just sell it as is. Well those are options I'm considering at the mo.You meet someone with their own house and it causes problems in a way. 2 houses is just one house too many for a couple. Then again if things go pear shaped I still have a house to come home to. My bleeding ed hurts thinking about it all.
