Boiler installed in 2008. Cannot claim that servicing has been clincally appropriate but had it serviced last year...when strip-down of burner and associated bits was carried out. System failed again earlier this week and local plumber/heating technician called out. He tried to dismantle burner to attempt cleaning but couldn't even get the baffles out! Siezed up 'solid', apparently. Recommended (largely on safety grounds) that whole boiler is replaced. Should I go ahead - or not? Should I expect longer than a 5-year life-span for the beast?

Give em some welly.
Common on Greenstars.
No need to change on grounds of safety.

If they look clean no need to touch them.
Haven't seen one where the baffle were stuck. Unless something wrong
with the condensate and it's running back into the boiler and rusting it out.
Blocked condensate perhaps.

baffles can warp and get stuck if shes been burning too hot. Don't see it regular though
Is it sealed system? If so. release the pressure
You don't need a new boiler. Contact Worcester service if the baffles are stuck and your heating engineer can't be bothered to get them out then Worcester service will sort it.
