Guy is talking sh#te when he says louvre door will not be acceptable ,this is perfectly acceptable re corgi . The only thing that may make it un acceptable is if they want to stick to absolute letter of regs is although there are no set designs of what a vent is the openings on it cannot be less than 5mm and no bigger than 10mm but this is really for vents that communicate with outside air

christ, i wouldnt even bother recommending a compartment vent change on a 17 year old vaillant.

its NCS, forget about it.

how good is a 17 year old Vaillant

not very IMO but dave will tell you different

its all down to personal preference in this game. i see very few of these older vaillants and the ones i do see look horribly continental and absurdly complicated.

dave doesnt like worcesters but i think they are simple things to work on....er not including the highflow and 28/24cdi of course

Only ever clobbered 1 Vaillant and that was a 25 year old sine18 with a cracked flue hood (part obsolete). The vitreous coating could have been blasted and the hood welded..the rest of the boiler was A1 but time was of the essence.

If you can find someone with the nous to understand them you could have many more years left in it.

There are loads of these old vaillants in bathrooms round here. Vents NCS at most
