New float valve and still overflowing

right ball vavles out then is water dirty and does tank get hot
and yes it does know sound like need a new cylinder

What, take the ball valve out? As in the plastic float in that tank?

Yeah water filthy. It's ok when it's settled but when disturbed it's very dirty. Right at the bottom there's slimy stuff on the sides of the tank.

Ok, so I'm looking at a new cylinder. Would you recommend getting another thermal one or something else? Suppose I need to get a plumber in to take a look.

A combi boiler is a good idea, depend on good flow and pressure on main water.

Get a plumber in and they will advise you about combi, get a few quotes.
 
What would you do, replace it with like for like or get something else?

What about junking the hot water tank and the boiler and getting a new combi boiler? The boiler I have now went in with the house in '94 and it's an Ideal Elan 2 NF230. I believe it's a non-condensing boiler as it has a metal flue.

if your budget can strech to a combi then yeah id deff say go for that, again tho depends on the size of your house and you HW flow needs
 
small 2 bed terraced house + small kitchen downstairs and bathroom upstairs. Lots of lovely water pressure so think I will enquire about a combi.

Massive thanks to those who helped me with this.
