Can you reply to my above question please.

If that is a reflection on what I said, you kind of missed my point.
It should be interpreted as:
A mediocre boiler installed and maintained to spec will probably be less prone to failure than a top boiler cowboyed on the wall.
If you want a real quality job, you need a good boiler installed by a good RGI.
But that costs money.
Which one is that?

, maybe you are one who is not a RGI. ...............or maybe a troll?

Well , most RGI will know that , seems this member does not.
Seems ths is what you get when you come into this trade on the back of a mid life crisis.
All these calcs ,one could get a job with Nasser , end of the day custard tells u there to warm / hot = success , not warm enough = failure !
old mears calc -1 outside high scale add a bit, trv job done !
WC if custumers want it so be it , does it save X amount of £ a year maybe , maybe not , all these manu claims who have a finacial interest in producing all of these stastics ( they are salesman) ,take it with a pinch of salt I say !
Vaillant used to tell installers do not use inhibitor on ther combis , now they walk away from any warranty if there is none !
Install over sise rads on condensers ect ect , wc in domestic was installed years ago , solar was fashionable in the 80's ???
years ago we were encouraged to drink lucozade in hosplital now its bad for u , eat an apple a day ect ect !

What is the point of working out a required mrt when endusers turn the boiler stat anywhere between 50 and 85 and leave it there until the boiler fails or is serviced?
About as much use as trv's that in 99% of cases are either fully open or fully shut.
On the rare occasion that I do an install, I give the client two choices.
All worked out just to the right size, or, for less than 10% extra, they get oversized rads which will warm the room up twice as fast when it is really cold, AND will cope with extreme cold like last 3 winters, AND may even safe some money on the gasbill because the boiler will be more efficient.
Still waiting for the first one that takes the cheaper option.
Exactly. Not only that, installations that were installed spot on to the calculations for -1 would have had serious complaints over the past 3 winters.
Apparently he was in there under a different name.
If that rumour is true, then cm is a knowledgeable chap rather than a troll, but suffering from dm's disease.
