I changed the temperature control switch from one the standard one which cuts out at 120c to a 130c one

Hi,

Over time have had more problems with my boiler and i think it was due to the above thermal switch only being 10amps
. Which should be able to cope with 2200 watts but the boiler is 2600 watts. I have replaced it with a 15 amp version from cpc farnell.

Any chance of a part number and url, no problems with mine so far but it would be nice to have something ready incase it fails.
