    The force in our taps is much higher than when we had a hot tank system.

    The cold water pressure will be exactly the same as it's direct off the main, the hot may be better as it is pumped from the boiler which is likely a less torturous route anyway,;)
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed

    No argument, if you already have the pipe work in place as you have, stick to a normal boiler. You will be lucky to get 8 yrs out of a combi, far more likely to go wrong.

    I would stick with a conventional boiler. The main problem with a combi is the Hot water flow rate, this is what dictates the pressure at the head of the shower. If you want a monsoon type shower keep the boiler and buy a shower pump, 3 bar pump will give you a great shower.
