I've learnt a fair bit coming on here and have to some degree of success mended our piece of s**t known as a Ravenheat LS 80 combi boiler.
I have to say you do get what you pay for as after only three years its about to die.
Its leaking water badly from the blow out pipe and it seems it could be the expansion vessel. Every day we have to re pressurize the boiler and its been like this for a while so we have to keep topping up with fresh water. This in turn has led to bad scaling and sludge and has screwed up several other expensive if not non existant parts.
Anyway, there are so many boilers to choose from but I think my favoured are Vaillant and Worcester. Are these a good reputable reliable brand?? They've been round a while. I'm desperate not to make the same mistake as I did with the Ravenheat crud.
I have a total of eight radiators in our house, one in each room including toilet and kitchen.. if that helps.
Any thoughts or personal opinions appreciated.
PS I am on a budget as I have two kids!!...two kids that are fed up with spontaneously hot and cold baths and showers.
Thanks Paul
