In 2010 my mother replaced her gas boiler. Old cast iron lump with

It's gone wrong, and the guy looking at it reckons it's had it. That's a
surprise to me... is it likely, or is he another cowboy?

Assuming it isn't repairable, what's the current view on boiler
manufacturers?

The one she has is wall mounted, and it's got about 80cm headroom (above
the fridge, below the ceiling). Also the exhaust shouldn't be too high
up, it's a chalet style house.

Suggestions?

You haven't given us the slightest clue of information to assess whether it's had it. Do you think that might help?
