Hey thanks Alex. Just the sort of helpful advice I was loolking for.
Anyway, what's horrid about them? They heat water. What the hell else are
they supposed to do?


Whilst sharing the opinion of the model I'd suggest you may have a problem
with a diverter valve. Is the heating pipework warming up when you ask it
for hot water? This assumes that your gas variation is actually adequate but
this would need a manometer to check
