I have a very old Gloworm boiler. Been advised by gas engineer to replace for modern unit. It's working fine but worried about availibilty of parts and getting a plumber to work on it. Any advise ?

Probably not the most concensual of advice I'm going to give but unless you're a particularly vulnerable person make provision for when it does die so you're not at anybody's mercy...
Buy a couple or three oil space heaters and make sure your hot water cylinder immersion is working and run your old Gloworm until it dies.
She has a modern system but I still like to keep two oil heaters at my 89yr old ma's place just in case I can't get there as quickly as I'd like.
Very likely and as Timmy D said bolting a new boiler onto an old system can also be fraught with issues.A modern boiler may use less gas but, if you are already a low gas user, it may not pay for itself in its potential lifespan.
