new poster in need of advice, and probably therapy.

We've been in our flat five years and last year we upgraded our lennox
warm air unit with a new boiler at a cost of =A32400. (Happy to do this
as we appreciated the system and don't like rads.) However at that
time we'd also spent =A3400 plus on repairs for a gas multipoint
(Britony flexiflue)

This year the hot water went off again and our plumbers ordered a pcb
and thermocouple - said they'd have to be ordered from france as no-one
stocks them anymore. Three weeks later, still no parts. Got another
plumber, he changed a fuse, water working. One week later, off again.
He says don't need the other parts but need a new gas system. Cost is
prohibitive.

So, obviously we've decided on a new multipoint. This plumber says
don't touch anything British, they're the most unreliable. But I'm
concerned about getting parts for a european one. Also, why are the
parts so expensive? Finally, is a =A3300 installation cost for new
boiler reasonable? Any advice, is there anything to add to the lennox
which would give us hot water?
