i would repair it but then i like this boiler and tonybhoy and agile clearly do not. too many far fetched reasons for not repairing and a few good ones for repairing it.
a service, new prv, and an external expansion vessel with a cap on the old one to isolate it isnt going to cost the earth, the fan and venturi should be cleaned as part of the service. the labour charges for all of this are for you to find out and weigh up, do not let the fantasies of some of the dreamers on here sway you towards a new boiler simply because they dont like it or know nothing about it. as someone has already mentioned if the £850 quote is to simply whack a new boiler on the wall then IMO its a waste of money leading to an even bigger waste of money when it all goes wrong.
IMO dont install a new worcester, anyone worth their salt can see the recent decline of their products quality and design. i dont see enough new vaillants to comment but i wouldnt have touched any of their older stuff with an insulated pole. i have a new vokera linea HE in my house but as its only 6 months old its hard to tell if its as good as their older stuff. looking at it when i installed it it certainly seems to be good.
