Daughter is looking to have her boiler changed, and despite me recommending Worcester, she has a deal offered on a Potterton Pro Max
Thanks

Well, I see a steady trickle of pcbs and the occasional fan
nowhere near as many as W-B
but then most fitters have learned better than to fit baxi / potterton by now
Anyone might think you have a vested interest? :-)
Absolutely the reverse if you think about it
It's a wonder some f****it has not replied saying that you only post here to make money:-)
You wouldn't be referring to some johnny come lately Lumbricus rubellus, would you?
Yes, but with less backbone than Lumbricus rubellus.
Not ...
a west midlands grass you up snake
You implied that W-B were less reliable!!
No I didn't
I just as much implied that there are a lot more W-B boilers out there than Potterton Promax boilers
my vested interest is only in pcbs and fans being unreliable and breaking down irrespective of make or model
A lot of people ask me what boiler to buy, I reply I can't tell them, I can only thell them what I get most of in for repair, but it's also dependent on market share
Potterton/Baxi is still produces a volume boiler which I believed are reliable. I felt W-B relies upon the good name of Bosch to imply quality.
I suspect most of your experience is after a couple of years where the boiler is well out of any guarantee period.
Er, well ... duh
