I’ve just picked up a second hand Rocket Giotto for cheap. Seller had intermittent issues that finally he’d had enough of. On initial inspection looks like a fair few of the boiler fittings have had a leak at some point. Seems strange to me that so many of these fittings will have leaked. Assuming the scale buildup is a sign of a leak, any ideas as to why so many elbow joints have given way?
I’ve attached a couple of photos.
The culprit to me is a likely control box replacement, which I’m capalble to do myself but wondering whether I should be replacing all the leaked joints as well? I’m suspecting yes, although would prefer not to as I’ve had issues with the elbows breaking when trying to remove them on a previous rebuild (and having to them drill them out).
