    I forgot to mention that the majority of the pipework is original.
    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.

    I'm fairly sure that the boiler won't provide hot water and heat the radiators at the same time. Have you tried the heating on its own?

    Hi...DHW always take priority over CH.

    Isn't a WB Greenstar covered by a 2 year warranty (as long as the 1st year annual service has been carried out by an WB approved RGI)? If so isn't it worth getting WB out on a warranty repair basis to establish if there is a fault on the boiler itself?
    Assuming that the install was properly done and registered and that it's not yet gone out of warranty of course.

    Hi...any RGI can service the boiler. WB won't be happy if the system wasn't flushed prior to installation, it hasn't been notified and didn't have it's first annual service and will charge accordingly. Boiler manufacturers are paying more attention to installation detail/ less tolerant these days...and rightly so.

    Sorry, my last post seemed very condescending - I didn't mean it that way - it's just that sometimes it is worth checking the basics again before spending hundreds of pounds on something you don't need. Hope no offence was taken.

    No of course not. I dont particularly want to have new radiators anyway cos of the hassle and moving things etc . Hopefully i might just need the system to be flushed.
