Fit a Vaillant! You will need 3 core + earth to the boiler as a basic standard.

why does it need replacing?

why does it need replacing?

heat exchangers knackered and he wants to replace as hes selling up!
so want the cheapest and easiest option!

 

[gas4you]

If you want cheap forget Vaillant! Go for B&Q special if he's got thick skin and no guilty concience

 

[shorky]

every body always wants to replace a boiler with the cheapest possible option, bet your friend drives round in the dearest possible car

they can still put in a more expensive boiler and make the new purchaser aware of exactly what he's/hers fitted never know they might feel more comfortable {as no expense spared etc} purchasing there house as opposed to someone else's.

As the apollo is already fully pumped there should be the minimal of pipework alteration also wiring should not need anything new run to it as it already has a permenant live neutral,earth and a switched live and pump wired from it which should be sufficent for most new boilers.

he just told me hes got a bloody thorn appolo and that hes been quoted for a baxi solo is that any good? appreciate all your advice! thank u

 

[namsag]

Myson and the the thorn where exactly same boiler apart from the pcb was different

The heat ex could be changed for a fraction of the cost of a new boiler.
