I didn't think I'd ever say this but I've found a boiler that is worse than a Isar and a Ferrolli rolled into one. It has the build quality of a Lada Riva (for the younger generation, look it up on Google). it's a Ravenheat Primary. They are rubbish
 
Bread and butter, long may they be manufactured :) ... Krikey if everyone keeps putting 5 and 7 year warranty boiler in where's the repair market gonna be? :D

I hated that boiler, with no agent over here they were a pain to sort out.

Most of the warranties will be void as they wont be topping up inhibitor etc
 
I have to work on the combi version regularly, they were fitted loads on the social housing contract I work on. They're rubbush, total rubbish. They break down at least twice a year, but at least they're relatively easy to repair. Remember the PCBs are actually quite reliable on them and the rest of it is rubbish, especially the NTC sensors, AAV's and the heat exchanger seals.
 
every time i look in these, i see how many leaks i can count- most i've got to is 9 micro leaks. ( its a sad life working on your own )

and if the fan or recuperater fails on the HE version its scrap
