I've a Potterton too that is also plus 20 years and has finally sprung a leak. The gas engineer told me that as it's an older system I should replace it with another Potterton Baxi A Rated boiler - it should have a cast iron heat exchanger, and I should get another 20 years problem free. He also recommended to get the full kit replaced, you can save money on the short term reusing the old parts but they will also start to go in the next few years. Got quote 2K to replace the lot. Is this a good price? He said he can do other boilers for around 1700 but they may last 5 years. I know a few of my neighbours have had theirs replaced after only 4/5 years use. It's in our old house which is now a rented property so I'd rather do it once. 20 years is good value for money, 5 years isn't!
