Ferroli are highly regarded, no divertor valve to go wrong. £499 for 80kW
model from www.mrcentralheating.com
The Ariston microgenius are another good make. I've had excellent service
from their UK techie people.
27kw model is £539 from same outlet.

I agree. Best get the Ferroli Modena 102 rather than the 80, which gives a
higher flowrate. The Microgenus is the smallest combi case around and has a
keep-warm heat exchanger to eliminate the cold lag to taps that many combi's
have. It has all failsafe devices such as anti-scale, anti-frost, built-in
filler loop, time clock, etc.

The Wickes Combi 102 is a good boiler too. Made by Halstead
