[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1153707, member: 176704"] To be quite "blunt", that's why, whilst I used to service and repair the previous very old (1970s ISTR) Potterton "conventional" boiler, having taken a look at the 2008 replacement Worcester Bosch combi and its manual, I decided to bite the bullet and pay to leave all that work to trained service engineers! Generally worked out from about £100/year early on to £200 nowadays, and probably worth it IMHO! PS: having reviewed the WHICH annual boiler servicing reports for many years, ISTR that Halstead boilers generally got poor reports from service engineers for both ease of servicing and availability of spare parts. OTOH, Worcester Bosch and Vaillant boilers generally got pretty good reports, and so I chose the former when it was clear that the Potterton had had its day! [/QUOTE]
