Yes, do try that. Vaillant.
Try asking them for a copy, they're very helpful.

You're both wrong, it's 'Vaillant' - I had a look on their website but its
very poor with regard to literature. I got a technical manual for a VCW
from the Vaillant HQ last time I was down there (Romford way I think), but
even they had a problem finding one to give me. However, instructions for
changing the plate heat exchanger come in the box with the new part (did one
a couple of months ago).

Instead of the old big plastic block, you should now receive the normal
sized plate heat exchanger and half a dozen chromed pipes which take a
little while to fit.

Sounds like the pub in Uxbridge that had "Fosters Larger" on a big
banner across the front. Or the place next to Halfords in Bodmin with a
banner outside from which the apostrophe has clearly been removed from
"Sofa's". OK, so at least they took it off, but what on earth made them
do it in the first place?

I've found that most plumbers/CORGIs pronounce it as 'Valliant'. If you
pronounce the word as 'Vaillant' they will usually add extra emphasis
to the word when they next use it. 'VALLIANT' they'll say to correct
what they perceive as your mispronunciation.

The Gas shop have it written as Valliant in their window because the
CORGI installers they deal with talk of Valliant boilers.

Which makes me wonder whether I really want such people working on my
gas installation. RTFM? They haven't managed to read the box, despite
claiming to be 'professionals'. Which they're not.

it's like Coq au vin';- only it uses lager.

Reminds me of the bottle of wine that had French and English on the label.
The English translation contained the immortal words "Drink with cock in

There's only one which anyone who doesn't spell Vaillant as Valliant has

Or two marketing disasters I remember in Germany,

Cusson's "Irisher Mist"

and

"Irisher Mist" liqueur

as mist means manure (or ****) in German, you can imagine how successful
they were
