Vokera Mynute 35 HE

Hi We are now on out second of these boilers. The first lasted 4 years and the replacement has now gone after 5 years. The fault is the same in both cases. Forget about looking for help. Just throw the entire system out and get something else that works.

I had a new Vokera Mynute 35HE Condensing boiler fitted in 2006 to replace an existing old style boiler. It was recommended by the plumber (I think because he was on a promotional kick-back!). It has broken down 4 or 5 times since with inconsistent issues such as gas valve, leaking joints causing PCB to fail, gas pressure sensor, flame sensor. One water leak caused £1000 of damage to a wood floor. When it works it's great but last winter we had no HW or CH for 2 weeks during -10C outside. It took over a week to get an engineer from D&G insurers as they were all maxxed out, he arrived told me what was wrong and said he would be back with the spare part a week later. Instead I drove 2 miles to the spares centre, bought the spare part and fitted it myself even tho' I had to pay £20 for the sensor. Poor reliability and poor after sales service, a no-no and I am now after 5 years going to replace it with a boiler with 5 star reliability and a 5 year warranty, any recommendations anyone?
