Thanks to all of you for your comments, I hope non of you have fallen-out over it. I think snes has a valid point, that would be far easier for the likes of us seekers to go to one central point for the info we need. Out of the 6 quotes I've had, 2 go with Idael,2 Worcester not one mention...

Thanks Bahco, but that one is not one of the ones quoted

I have had 3 quotes all within the same same price range but for 3 different condensing boilers. Having read reviews on other web sites, its time to ask the experts. The 3 are: Ideal 26, Baxi 80 HE. Worcester Greenstar 25. Any help greatly accepted.

Thanks guys for all your replies, its very interesting, comical and at times helpful reading them. :lol: One last question if I may?? Ive just done the 'leymans' way of calculating the advised Btu rateings per room(cubic ft x 5, 4 or 3 plus % addition or - ) and for a livingroom 16 x 11...

Thanks Gary

i'm replacing my boiler, present one is some 15yrs old has packed in so time for a new one. When I start to arrange quotes, some I feel are going to be more bias towards their own profit margin and giving me a system which is too good. My current model is rated at 24kw and is I believe...

This morning having turned the b/room hw tap on, there came a 'sort of bang' from the boiler followed by black deposits from the tap and the water was running at normal pressure but, no hot water at all. On checking the boiler I found that the 'Demand' light was not lit when the hw tap was...

Thanks Chris, I did get the model wrong, it's a Worcester 9.24 Electronic

Thanks for that,EliteHeat. Iv'e tried it again before reading your reply and the only extra things I can add is that I had about a minute of water before the pressure fell and when it did fall, there was like a weezing sound cominig from the depths. Does this change your view? and whay ££££...

Boiler = Worcester 9.6 ( about 15yrs old). When my hot water tap is turned on, the water now only flows at it normal rate for about 10secs before the flow is reduced to about half it normal. This is the kitchen tap, the bathroom (on same floor) the flow is less still. The CH works fine,the cw...

My pressure gauge when the system is off shows about 1.25bar, yet when heating is on this goes up too 1.75 bar. Ive recently removed, replaced and bled a rad but have not seen this pressure build up before. Should I be worried ??. Tony

Thanks guys, I opened the valve a few times as you suggested and touch wood it appears to have solved the problem, however I've got a new valve (just in case). Cheers :D

I have a Worcester 9.24 Electronic Combi and have recently changed the filling valve on the filling loop due to it leaking water into the system. My pressure reading has always been about 1bar but noticed that it had began to rise. At the point when it went over 3bar (safety valve rateing)my...
