None of the above 🙂

Just to add, the ideal classic is a brilliant boiler.

What's wrong with it to make you think it needs replacing?

are you sure it can't be fixed, it maybe something cheap and easy?

Worcester Bosch 15ri

As a spark and the fore not gas safe free advice is hard to come by so working on worst case I end up with a gas valve and pcb and labour £300 quid later and it 17 yrs old the gas valve clicks in and out once the pilot is lit.

will get price on 15 ri the other 3 I can get for just over 600 inc flue and vat.

Avoid the vokera like the plague! Spend abit more and go for the Worcester it's a cracking boiler.

The 15 ri is on my list of quotes at 750 vat inc
vokera 574
potterton 602
ideal 647
is it really worth 175 more than the vokera or 150 on the potterton and if so why.

Why avoid the VOKERA. fitted loads with no more problems than the bosch. More important is the quality of the install and the three listed are reasonable mid range boilers.

Yes. Better build, better warranty. But you pays your money you takes your choice.
