    I do mean a standard normal combi boiler. Instead how about perhaps a conventional boiler - does that make it easier and possible? With regards to costs - think about 12kw per hour for heating water and/or radiators. I've worked out we have the potential of using 13,000 kw p.a . Obviously that...

    Potterton Fireside 51 back boiler....

    I know gas valves are not DIY.- in fact I think it's illegal for me to do it. I am getting a 'gas safe' man to do the job - anyone else is also illegal. I am simply just buying the parts, so i am not stitched up on the part prices. I see no gc part number anywhere on the original document...

    Well I can only see the red and white ones for sale. Is that the expensive or cheap ones ? Either way I cannot see anyone selling the grey ones. If they both do the same job I obviously want the better quality ones - ones that should last.
