Best combi boiler for reliability and warranty

[alltec]

I'm looking to get a new combi boiler installed, and would like to get one that's reliable and with a long warranty.
I've seen Ideal do 7 years, Baxi do 10 on their top of the range Combi, Worcester only seem to offer 5 years and Valiant offer 5 or 7 years if fitted by an approved installer.
What would people advise regarding a quality boiler, and do these warranties offer good cover (i.e. parts and labour, and in general is it normally the manufacturer that does repairs under warranty or just any registered gas safe engineer)?.
It would seem Baxi don't have as good a name as Bosch, Valiliant - but with a 10 year warranty, what do people think?

The plastic in a Worcester will have leaked long before the Baxi or ideal warranties expire!

None are really worth the paper they are written on unless the boiler is installed correctly & the system is cleaned & treated to correct standards (with proof if poss). Even then there is enough wriggle room for most to get out of it if they must.
Get a descent engineer (who most likely will not be the cheapest) to carry out the work & suggest a boiler they know to be good.
You are only going to get the same old favorites again, of each in here.

No boiler will stand a chance, they are all going to be fitted poorly so the guarantee is irrelevant

UKPF require I recommend Intergas now

followed by someone else recommending Ideal / Worcester / Vaillant / Viesmann / Baxi
