Default Boiler spares on a Sunday

Seems that the air pressure switch on my Potterton boiler has broken. I want a bladdy shower... anyone know where I could get my hands on a new switch today? Reading area but will travel for hot water!

Theres a place out by the new LIDLs on the Basingstoke Road. Not sure they are open Sundays?

However - try wrapping a newspaper around the outlet on the outside wall (when the Boiler is sparking - you should hear a faint click, click) - the pressure will build and put the switch into action ...... you may find it works for years once released!

Thanks Pete. Tried blowing down the tube but to no avail.... turned out just to be a loose connection to the switch itself.
