Does anyone have a Thorn 20/35B boiler for sale suitable for spares or reconditioning? Can collect.
What is the part you want?

@hertsboilers - I need the cast iron heat exchanger. Any chance?
No, don't have it, sorry.
Hardly seem worthwhile collecting a heavy old boiler when the saving on a modern boiler will be about 30% plus.
Even with a second hand boiler serious savings can be obtained.
But of course rebuilding your old boiler should be done by a gas reg person and this forum rules mean we cannot encourage DIY gas work like that.

FFS All he's asking is if someone has a heat exchanger. 
That old boiler, rebuilt will go on forever. 30% my arris. I paid £1200 per year for my gas/electric. Loft insulation saves 10%. Cavity wall saves 10%. Double glazing saves 5%. My new condensing boiler saves 20%. Why isn't my bill around £750? ......Discuss

That's absolute twaddle.

Although this one didn't go on forever obviously and seeing as the rebuild would be from used parts for an equally ancient boiler I'd imagine they'd have similar wear.
