    That Vaillant boiler has plastic dials which control the hot water and CH temperature but they tend to break off quite easily if turned quickly. I have seen a few people have the problem. Not expensive to replace but a nuisance.

    I've had my Vaillant boiler for over 2 years and have never had to adjust the dials. Surely the fact that they are under a cover means that they're not meant to be constantly fiddled with?

    Yes, I have a Vaillant Eco Tec Boiler (System Condensing set-up) and have never needes to touch the dials:D.

    Seems to be fine after 5 years

    I think that you should check again because your statement is incorrect. The Vaillant Ecotec Plus 824 does have dials. By dials I mean largish dial wheels that can be turned to adjust the temperature. I did state that they turned so it shouldn't take a genius to work out what I meant.

    There is also a water pressure readout display which might also be described as a dial.
    No your wrong on both counts. The new Ecotec Plus range has done away with the knobs and the pressure dial.
    Unless of course all the ones I've fitted had bits missing!

    Won't fit Remehas any more. Bad experience left a bad taste. Good boilers but let down badly by the Heateam engineers who seem to know nothing.

    I have an Alpha boiler, and since it was installed 2 years ago I have had nothing but trouble.. The money I have spent on plumbers is now getting to be a joke.

    I went to a quotation company called Quotes to compare. These guys give you 3 quotes from only your local area and have found them really competitive. I was wondering if anyone knew if Baxi was a good make?
