no ive not had it serviced but we did only move in last year we dont even know how old it is (vokera say if more than 12 years its not covered by their all in repair price) im even wondering wether to get a new boiler if its gonna start costing hundreds
Your boiler could be a little older than that BUT, it can be serviced, repaired or overhauled to give you years of faithful service yet.
Having worked on plenty of these boilers, I would not be thinking of replacing the boiler. Instead I would be looking to contact an engineer who knows this boiler, knows how it works, knows how to dismantle and put it together, instead of changing one part after another.
Switch the boiler off at the mains, remove outer cover and using 11mil spanner release air from top of white vessel (located right hand side towards the back).

Because we do most repairs on a fixed price basis, then we still repair the diverter valves for £106, but its a much more involved job on your model and quite time consuming as usually the whole valve usually has to be dismantled and cleaned out as they are mostly jammed at this age unless anyone has properly serviced then and DP is the only person I know who ever does that.
Most people do the repair and then run leaving the boiler in a very poor state.
Because they are now so old, most people will come round and and say its not worth repairing and just push to fit a new boiler as thats a more profitable job for them.
As DP says they are very solidly made boilers and if anyone takes the trouble with them they are very reliable.
