Hi, I currently have an Alpha HE CB33 combi boiler. I can only get hot water when the heating is on and turned up high. My gas engineer friend confirmed that the diverter valve needs replacing. There is also an issue with the pressure. I have found a couple of small leaks on two valves. I assume this can make a difference. The needle on the pressure gauge wobbles from time to time. Im told this is because the expansion vessel is on the way out? So my question is, with the diverter valve and expansion vessel looking like they need replacing, i might as well invest in a new boiler for £600 instead of paying out £300 odd for parts? the boiler is 8 years old. Its not that i don't trust my mate but i could do with a couple of other opinions. Thanks in advance.
New combi boiler Needed? Advice needed please.

That's a steal, if you can get a decent boiler professionally fitted for that, snap their hand off I would expect it to cost three or four times that.Both prices are just for parts. Labour to replace parts is about half the price to replace the boiler. Ive got a quote for replace and commission the boiler for £250. So all in all about £900 odd to replace and fit or £500 to suppy and fit new parts.

So you don't think an Ideal Logic 24 is any good? You can get those for £600. My mate is a registered gas engineer and is literally doing a boiler swap for me. It's an afternoons work. I posted this question more to see if I should just do the repair or go the whole hog and get a new boiler. He said whole boiler but just wanted other opinions as I like more than one opinion.
Really? Got any suggestion within that sort of budget? thx
