Don`t think any free standing are made for gravity now due to new regs.

Dave i think they have altered all the heat exchangers so you can`t connect to gravity anyway
the ideal mexico HE has 4 tappings so you can have a heat circuit and a seperate water circuit fit a zone valve, a stat and pump to each and you have a fully pumped 2 part system that meets the regs!

Go fully pumped - far more efficient. The existing gravity pipes can still be used.
Yes, most systems such as one pipe can be pumped.
A good floorstanding but basic high efficiency boiler is the Kidd range.
They are very efficient, shrug off water contamination, heavy, big, very long life expectancy (proven in the field) and ideal partners for older steel piped systems.
They are not at all cheap but rarely give problems, being a fundamentally simple engineering design. Over their long life they represent excellent value.

I recently got asked to service a Kidd Oil Fired condensing boiler for a guy.
There was nothing wrong with it but he said it had been in for 14 years so he thought it was about time someone looked at it !!!!!!
(mind you if I had something that ugly in my house I'd try and forget it was there too !

Actually, my wife thinks it is ugly, too.
She likes Mr Kidd though, so she puts up with it.
As a concession to aesthetics, he changed his boilers from red to white a few years ago. That's pretty much the only visible update since 1982.
