When it is time to replace rads remove f&e tank and pressurise system.
Pressurising can pop old rads and give leaks in unexpected places
Yep. If it is old and low pressure, keep it low pressure if at all possible, until the next major job, replacing rads and the likes.And when the leak in the unexpected and inaccessible place allows the pressure to drop the boiler may then be unable to function until it's operating parameters are changed
I have always liked the Intergas. Reliable enough and robust with a decent control system. A problem is that they do not sell the high flowrate combi model in the UK.I think we have a convert.
They are not too efficient on DHW in the combis,

Pointless post of the year candidate.
Not pointless for all cases. Plumber readily converted a system from vented to un-vented, about a days work and it was all working. Still working a few days later.
Then it stopped working.
The plumber wasn't quite so keen to came back to diagnose why the pressure kept dropping and leaving the family without heating or hot water. Yes they did know how to repressure the system but it should not have been necessary
Maybe he was just a bad egg cowboy installer and therefor not typical of the plumbing trade.
it's operating parameters are changed
What operating parameters?
A pointless and one sided post.
Many tradesmen and tradeswomen take advantage of the customer's ignorance of what is involved when designing a system that is the most appropriate system for the customer
And many more customers take the pizz out of tradesmen
But blowhards don't ever mention that do they.
