How many years have you been paying that insurance?

You must have missed my original thread.

I phoned up Valliant to get some prices and they gave me 2 options.
First option was their own 1 price for single fix of £299 which included
all parts but *excluded* heat-exchangers.

Second option was Domestic&General 6 month policy at £49.98 a month
which included all parts *including* heat exchangers up to the value of
£1500.
No fix, no fee. Made sense to go for this option as I suspected Heat
Exchanger may have been part of the problem (Already knew diverter valve
and possibly pump needed replacing).

First months payment comes out on the 1st Jan so boiler still be covered
into the summer after which it will be cancelled as all key components
(except for fan) will be new.

Shopping for parts in an on-line parts shop come in at around £700+ so
even a Tradie would be forking out £300(?) minimum for parts.
