I may have a supply of gas burners for the above (not the complete module which costs over £100) - if anyone finds there's has rusted out as mine was please post a message. If there is enough response I will obtain some from my supplier.

I should have added to my bit above that it is well worth checking the gas burner as mine seemed to be working well even though it was ten years old - it was only when I looked behind the cover plate that I found it dangerously corroded where damp had got in. Can't be too careful with gas. Which is why when I found a source of burners I thought I'd try and be helpful. I'm new so I hope this doesn't offend anyone.

A note of Caution!
Firstly to replace a gas burner on an appliance requires the fitter to be competent under the gas regulations.
Secondly, without knowing the source of the burners, it is not possible to know if they are genuinely compatible with the originals. Different burners may require different gas injectors to archive the required mix of gas and air in the venturi. failure to achieve this can lead to incomplete combustion of the gas, and the appliance will fall outside of its CE approval and render it illegal to sell it.

The source as far as I know is original; however, there is another problem which should be bourn in mind.
That is, Carver sold a 'burner module' which included the burner of course but installed and tested, they never sold spare parts for the module including said burner. This fact could have alsorts of permutations should something go wrong!
So to install a burner might seem a big saving on buying a complete module,the problem lies in fitting it correctly so it's safe.
I've set 100's of them up on the bench where I can see what I'm doing and know exactly what I need to achieve. I can say that what would appear to be a simply job is actualy not? The relationship between burner and spark igniter is critical, 0.2mm can be the difference between perfect instant ignition and a BIG bang!!
To sum up then, be warned
