I think the age of the boiler is against you. They'll riggle out of their commitment using small print and demanding you spend £500 on a powerflush. Not right away, just when you put in a claim which they won't honour.
Even Worcester don't like fixing the 240 anymore, even though it's a great boiler well worth keeping going as long as it doesn't sound like an aeroplane taking off.
Look take heart it has to be the diverter valve, a brand new correct part from Worcest is cheap compared to a £500 powerflush to keep British Gas responsible for it. They may not take responsibility for it at all.
I'm not the best to advise on old boilers, I'd like Tony or someone to offer an opinion but in my view if it isn't skaled up beyond repair it's worth all the likely new parts that will come up in the coming years.
If I had one I'd keep throwing parts at it to keep it alive. They don't make em like that any more.
