Yes, I make loads of cash fixing them.
Any sensible advice?
Any sensible choices apart from those.
They are cheap and cheerful, but hey what the hell it's your money.

Perhaps a better question would have been... "what boiler is best value for money?" i have a one bedroom flat and don't want to spend a fortune but yet don't want to be spending a fortune on repairs....

Basically mate the cheaper the boiler the less money the manufacturer has to spend on r and d and parts quality. Secondly the less profit he makes.
So what is the result, very little r and d, cheapest parts on the market (his cost not yours, see later) and to make up for his lack of profit in selling you the kit originally he will claw back a profit from sale of spares.
We call a cheap boiler a sprat to catch a Mackeral.
Cheapest option is to buy the most expensive boiler you can afford.

Well unless marketing has changed significantly since the 1970's when I read economics at The University of Hull you are wrong.
What I do know is that cheap boilers break down frequently, requiring days off work parts and lkabour to pay for.
You buy what you like mate, but I'll give the advise I best can based on my life experiences to date.
I also always advise people in a manner of what I would do for myself. When I needed to renew the heating system in a flat I let out I fitted a boiler of the highest quality available today, powerflushed the system, fitted a combi mate and a magnaclean. In the long run this will save me money.
