Vaillant diverter valve Improved design?

If you pay Homeserve £60 a year, they need to take their ginormous expenses and profits out of that, so how much does that leave to pay for your boiler service? £25? You'll get some bloke who has to fit in 10 or so calls a day so he's not going to have time to do a thorough job. I know you have cash flow problems but you're better off paying an RGI to do a proper service than pay for some insurance policy on special offer with terms and conditions and exclusions.

Like I said I read the small print very carefully.

You think that will mean a thing?

Well this is what they always refer to so that's why I read it very carefully. You guys crack me up. If I say black you say white and if I say white you say black

Even if they refuse to sort it It's only cost me £6 so no great loss really

I don't have cashflow problems. I'm just a tight ass!

I'm currently saving to get a garage built!

It goes up after the first year. They draw you in with a low introductory price then hope you stay with them.

I spend the money where and when I need to. You should see how anal I am with my cars.

I was a bit ignorant to the servicing aspect of boilers but I've learnt my lesson now and it will be getting its annual service from now on.

WE HAVE FINALLY GOT THERE

 

[jakeycrx85]

I was always going to get it serviced.

I removed the diff on my car just so I could change the oil thoroughly. Good old BMW and their lack of drain plugs.

 

[AGAS]

thats probably in better state than your boiler

Oh for sure. I've changed the diff, gearbox and engine oil. All filters have been changed. It's also had a coolant change.

I've also replaced the shocks, springs, top mounts, track rod ends, thermostats, glow plugs, glow plug module, upgraded the brakes etc but that's a post for another forum.
