Fitting a worcester 2000 boiler

[hammers4spanner]

Fitted one of these today and was a bit flumoxed on the valve set up where they connect onto the boiler. In a nutshell i couldnt fit a spanner in to tighten them up enough and the prv connection seemed utter pita.
They electric supply isnt long enough either for what i needed and you cant disconnect it from inside the boiler.

What everyones thoughts on this boiler?

I saw Alan Harts review on you tube it didn't make me want to try one . Kop

Don’t like it for changing boilers as no rear pipework etc also pipe centres off the wall are all over the place

Also prv has to be compression now

I’m fitting my first one of these next week so I’m also interested in everybody’s thoughts

I don’t think I will now to be honest even when I phoned the merchants for a price today they said a lot of people wasn’t impressed with it

better with an 8000 or the i series tbh

Them valves look like something from the old Greenstar HE.

Is it me or are Worcester going backwards with everything?

I heard on the grapevine they've had loads of the 8000 series fronts cracked.
