Hi, my merchant managed to persuade me to fit one of these (rather reluctantly). Having read numerous reviews on ferroli (most bad) I was pleasantly suprised. It is very small and very light but also very simple to fit and so much room in it due to the lack of diverter valve and plate to plate.
I would fit another one which was not the response i was expecting to have before i fitted it!

I think they do a spacing frame if needed but not sure. Again I was surprised by the build quality, Italian manufactures are normally synonymous with poor build quality but it seemed a good solid piece of kit. They have very little plastic and a lot of stainless which to me is great. Very surprised by the product. If you do try one I would be interested in your thoughts! I may of just been lucky haha

Had a few breakdown jobs on these.
Mostly leaks- make sure you service it regularly to keep on top of the leaks.

3 jobs all in same development-leaking.
Its a Ferroli FFS... next you'll be telling us you want to fit Ideals or Kestons 
I tend to fit products on face value rather than the badge. Fitted plenty of Worcestershire and nothing but trouble..ever since I have fitted them on what on the Inside not how nice they look on the outside. As I said was impressed with the Modena
Just thought i'd add to this thread as i have now fitted five of the new Modena's. First i would say for its money and a full 5 year warranty its good so i thought i'd take the chance, £100 per year is cheaper than all service contracts anyway!! All have been great although the fifth did have a small air issue being the highest point of the system which casued the guage to bounce. I called Ferroli at about 10 and by 3pm i had an engineer with me, granted this may not be every time but fantastic none the less.. He advised that this would clear when i added inhibitor which i did whilst he was present as i did doubt him. Sure enough now all ok. Will definately fit more.
Fitted 3 in the one week, as got them cheap from merchant who stated he cannot shift them..Now I know why,, 2 of them began leaking, it took Ferroli 4 fays to attend, first boiler pin holed heat exchanger-I had to replace at my cost. the other required a new pump housing. I am sh..tt...g myself now waiting on calls from customers of these boilers. Incidently met another installer when I was returning the boiler which was pinholed,,who was laughing as he said he had fitted one the week before and got nowt but hassle and Ferroli are far from helpfull, he said he took it off wall and left back at merchant and is fighting Ferroli for refund. Will keep clear off now.
How long was it installed before it pinholed? They are stainless steel and I was told there is no seem or joins in the heat exchanger. Surely a heat exchanger can't pinhole within 6 months? I had there last model with the aluminium heat exchanger pinhole but that was after 2 years
There's stainless steel, and there's stainless steel...
The chances of Ferrolli using anything remotely decent are as slim as a slim thing in a small place.
