I have a 20 years old Glow-worm Spacesaver wall boiler which works fine,
providing pumped CH and gravity DHW.
B/Gas 3 star engineers keep telling me the they can "no longer guarantee
to
be able to source spares"...ie a sales ploy to sell a new boiler.
Our local council are supplying discounted high efficiency boilers as a
greening initiative, but I reckon the bill will be £2k with fitting and
maybe mods to the exisiting system.
Any of you experts got any impartial advice ?
My gut instinct is to try and source spares for my existing boiler to keep
it going as long as possible.
What do you think.?

You have an outdated boiler and system. I reckon it is getting 55%
efficiency. If you can get a good deal on new high efficient boiler then
go for it. The bills will noticeably drop. Also DHW recovery, using a
quick recovery cylinder will be zippo. It may work out more in total
running costs to keep the old boiler as you may be nickel and diming it.
