I am thinking of having my Ideal Classic RS60 (Wall mounted) boiler replaced for something more economical and wondered what your suggestions for a replacement would be ? We do want to keep the hot water cylinder rather than use a combi.
Suggestions for new boiler please.

why don't you want a combi ? they have come on leaps and bounds over the years and some really good ones on the market how many bathrooms do you have ?
If you're looking to save money, keep the Ideal Classic, it will probably outlast your new condensing heat only boiler.
Just one Bathroom and one en-suite, the reason I dont want the combi is that firstly my wife really wants to keep the airing cupboard (stops her using the tumble dryer), plus we have appalling low mains water pressure -a standard bath takes about 45 mins to fill - we now have a whole house pump to assist the flow

Recouping the outlay of replacing the existing boiler may take years, if at all in terms of what you may save on gas. Factor in the reduced lifespan of modern condensing boilers and the savings you hope to make may never be achieved. Whilst the Ideal is still working then maybe a wiser move to keep it.
Look to achieve savings by upgrading your insulation and boiler controls to ensure the current system works as efficiently as possible and heat loss from the building is kept to a minimum.
