    Ollocks. I appointed an installer on Thursday, and just now went onto the website to fill in my scrappage application, only to find the scheme closed. Very poor timing indeed.

    the budget was a bit of a let down, it would have been better if they had extended the scrappage scheme .

    Just sold my old boiler and cylinder for £130, so total cost for new boiler is a shocking £120:D
