    I usually advise against getting a 'free' boiler. They'll be the cheapest cr*ppest rubbish boiler on the market, and last about 5 years if you are lucky.


    Worcester Bosch are reliable.
  • Don't think there are any boiler grants, apparently the funding ran out . .


    £23k pa. and you need a grant?

    Why do you want to replace the boiler? If its working - don't replace it. The old boilers are far more reliable than the new stuff

    Our free boiler was a Worcester Bosch - a few years ago now.

    If I understand correctly, you have a working boiler, but it lacks a set of instructions. So you would like a new boiler, but want someone else to pay for it? Or am I missing something?
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    So jk was right the cheapest crappiest boiler on the market :D
    I'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.

    You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.
