oil boilers

Hi
i currently have a camray 5 oil combi boiler which has now sprung a leak in the heat exchange, the large square steel box.
i was renting the property out to my step daughter and her husband( biggest mistake ever). They could not afford to fill up when i renewed the oil tank, so what my son in law did was to run the pump from a small make shift 5L bottle and top it up when needed, i nagged him to order oil for the tank and reconnect it back up so i could get boiler cover, but now its too late and they have now left the house in a mess leaving me to get a replacement boiler.
Has the government got any green schemes grants for better efficient boilers, i cant afford a new one, they have fleeced me, and the house requires a lot of work to get it back up to scratch.
Any advice very much appreciated

    I think the various 'green' boiler schemes have ended. There were several around when compulsory condensing boilers were introduced.

    Lesson - NEVER let property to friends or family, or those whose friendship you don't want to lose, or who you will not be willing to evict, or sue, if need be!
