New boiler purchase

My boiler is severely leaking water. I have had 3 different plumbers out to it and they were all baffled as they said they have never seen a boiler like my one (vokera eclipse). It was put in about 6-7 years ago. Anyway, one plumber said he fixed it and charged us £160 and it did work okay for about a month. Now though, it is worse than ever and it makes a really awful noise too so I think it is time to give up and buy a new one. Can anyone recommend the best place to get one and any idea of what sort of price? I would like a combi one.

    Had a Vokera that was leaking water, it was about 10 years old.
    It was about 3 years ago I am afraid I cannot recall the specifics.
    When I talked to the spares guys for Vokera they were very helpful and pinpointed the part, (I did not point out I wasn't a plumber!).
    Might be worth finding the nearest Vokera spares supplier and explaning the issue and the model, they may have a good idea.
    Of course I used a Corgi registered plumber to fit it, but I knew the whole story by then.
    Has now been working fine for 3 years.
