I have been having serious problems with my boiler over the last three winters. It goes into Ignition Lockout and after weeks of poor service and umteen new parts it settles down and will run fine for most of the year.
We decided that we could not face another winter like that so have been pricing replacement boilers.
One of the suppliers surveyed the house and said the length of pipe, 22mm, from meter to boiler was too long and would struggle to deliver the volume of gas needed.
I checked the charts published and he is correct, the size and length is right at the minimum needed for the boiler alone, nevermind the hob.
So, are modern boilers (9 years old) that sensitive to a small drop in gas pressure?
If they are, then changing the pipe would be quick solution and a lot cheaper han a new boiler.

Colin.
