Recently arrived in part exchange for a B1, it runs well, notching up in either direction.
The engine requires some work, including a replacement pressure gauge and attention to leaks at the wet header joint and blower union.
Fitted with a commercially built, CE-marked copper boiler - on hydraulic test it was dry and showed no signs of distortion, we would warranty as sound.
