Tesco is a spark, PM him.
Re: Electrician help needed.
edit: Does it pop straight away or does it take a few seconds to minutes, or happen at a random time?
Also when you plug in the cord do you see any sparks? If you do then the cord is likely shorted, if not then nothing is shorted but the boiler is using a higher amperage than it's supposed to which probably means it's broken...
You could try running it on a larger circuit... For example if it's on a 15amp circuit try plugging it into a 20amp (if you have that anywhere in the house) or run a new circuit for it (make sure you use the correct wire size fr the breaker/fuse you use).
This is only a temporary solution.

Uhh, wait a second, is a boiler a kettle or the thing that you use to heat your whole house's water? :lol:

i tried all the different ones, they all have the same amount of power - 16amps / 2.5 mm

Re: Electrician help needed.
I will try by connecting a new cord.
Re: Electrician help needed.
It sounds like there is too many things plugged in on the circuit.
At my work, the same happens when there is one too many things plugged in.
Clearly tesco knows better than me tho'
I do my best :emo:
