I'm having been having problems with my combi for the last year or so
and it's only 6 year old, new circuit board £150, low pressure sensor
£35, pair of thermisters £30 (they're all just parts prices) and it's
still not right on hot water sometimes, I'm thinking of ripping it out
and converting back to the older system, less to go wrong and cheaper to
fix. Oh yeah I repaired the built in timer aswell ! :-( Sheesh!

Oh, just incase anyone is thinking of getting a combi and you like
having a bath all I can say is DON'T GET A COMBI ! It takes forever to
fill and isn't very hot, it takes that long I think the water goes cold
before it's filled the bath.

Cheers Wookie.
