I would choose Worcester. The guarantee is only as good as the company backing it up! Install the system filter for the additional 1 year guarantee!

Never seen intergas van around, I heard the installer has to honour it!? But then there would be no spares on board like a Worcester service engineer, plus the installer might not be confident in this "rare" boiler
 
worcester bosch recommended here too

i am accredited installer and they after care is amazing
 
cheers all.

Im going for the Vaillant now.

A tough decision, as they all had their pros and cons.

Thanks for your feedback.
 
In my view Vaillant is better than Worcester.

Vaillants are good boilers, but from experience the company & aftercare seriously let them down! They made it nearly impossible for myself to register the extended warranty last time I tried. I hate working on vaillants also, would it be too much hard work for vaillant to put a parts list with numbers in the back of boiler manual!? Not to mention, vaillants attempts to dodge repair work under there warranty by claiming "system water dirty"... I could go on... But won't :)

But the fact is GS, most systems are still manky dirty when boilers are fitted. In most cases you've got some wrench monkey that's done a six week course in Plumbing, fitting a boiler with very narrow waterways in the heat exchanger. I've listened to phone calls to Technical Help lines, believe me you'd not let these chimps fit a tap washer, let alone a boiler!!!
