New Boiler

I cannot find anything on the main site, are there any guides to new boilers?  Mine's developed a leak and is just out of warranty at 8 years old.

    Might be worth mentioned in what make/model of boiler you have and what type of boiler it is i.e. combi etc so someone can advise further?
    May well be fixable, parts are usually available still.

    I presume you have checked the pressure gauge to check its around 1 - 1.5?  Any error code on the boiler, Likely error codes: F1, L1, FD from what I've seen online so far?

    A leak can be an easy fix, 8 years isn't old for a boiler, you can get a fixed price repair and boiler cover from around £15 Pm which would save you thousands.
