In a word - No!You may not be touching the gas (or the piping thereof) but you will be meddling with a gas appliance. If it all ends up going BANG! You'd be in such deep shit you'd need an aqualung to escape.Not worth it - get a man in!

I shall only pay myself in beer and a nice hot shower now that it is working again.I took the fan out (4 screws, one jubilee clip and 2 electrical connectors) and spun it by hand - it was definitely "notchy". I cleaned it all up and smeared a bit of graphite grease to the motor spindle where I could access it and voila! It now spins nice and freely. I checked the tubes to the air pressure sensor and they blew them all clean.Put it all back together again - the screws are now tight as they were a little on the loose side - fired it up and it's working fine
