True, often saying the parts are obsolete. What they mean is that BG no
longer stock the parts but often they are still available from the
manufacturer for very many years afterwards.

Not true. They will start with a very high price and then offer a large
discount and/or trade-in on the old boiler ending up with a price that
is often twice that of the competitors.

I suspect some
kind of scam going on myself.


They get commission when selling or providing a lead that results in a
new boiler.
