I'm trying to work out if Ray's left a clue on which team wins... Not sure if there is one.
 
I'm drunk on punches.......I need telling a clue will be way over my head.
 
...we have to go up against each other now and fight one on one for the boiler... No more team blue.

Yeah, that is bad news, I was beginning to like him.

Unlucky me and Pad, good luck to CH4 and Anz, one of you really has a belter of a prize coming to you
I'm out wrecking (fishing) all day tomorrow, so looks like I'll miss the next one
How many are left
 
I have just checked that their gas-safe registration is still current, and they are.
 
But before we do that, how do people feel about the Intergas concept of having the expansion vessel separate from the boiler?

For those of you not familiar with the Intergas product, both the ECO-RF and the HRE models come with two expansion options. You can buy a fitting jig which turns it into a conventional style boiler installation with the expansion tank contained in the jig flat against the wall, or you can site a separate robokit elsewhere in the system.
 
Just out of interest, the new Rapid does feature an expansion vessel inside the case, but its at the front of the boiler. After removing the case (obviously only the GSR engineers should do this) the vessel is mounted in front of all the other components, but is mounted on a side hinge, so it swivels out of the way, permitting access to the rest of the components.
 
I prefer external expansion vessels, the internal ones always have those carp braided hose which block up and fall apart and are normally undersized! Also they can be a pig to pump up!

At least it's at the front, most are right in at the back!
 
Ooh nearly time.

I hate the ones at the back of the boiler, changing an expansion vessel that's there can take an age. Having to remove the flue on some to get to it isn't ideal.
External is good, if there is space.
The best expansion vessel location is at the side of the boiler like on the Vaillants, a simple five minute job to change if required.
This Rapid sounds interesting, you seem to know a lot about it Ray, cant find anything on it myself.
