True, and she has had a few reliability problems too. I did consider changing to a newer and different model but decided that maintenance issues would probably be even more costly. This one starts up first time whatever the weather and even brings me a cup of coffee in bed every morning so I can't complain.  3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

The logic range of boilers are very good we moved away from WB five year's ago and never looked back

I'm in need of a new boiler. My plumber has recommended an Intergas HRE combi boiler. Must admit I've never heard of them. He says they are indestructable. Looked them up on the internet and they get good reviews

Can't go wrong with a Worcester Bosch. Not the cheapest but the best.

as above, great boilers.

Yes to magnetic filter, worth their weight in gold, and you will also require a power flush

Worcester Bosch have gone down the route of plastic valves and fittings, like much of the German dental kit we sell, fine until it goes wrong then nothing ever fits right or works correctly.
WB is a cheapened product with lots of glittery marketing, a little like new LR offerings

I had a power flush in November when the system was upgraded. Should that be sufficient or will it need doing again if, say, I have a new boiler fitted in the next month or two?
