The Junior range are a pig to service and the heat primary heat exchangers are pants. Other than that they are pretty reliable.

Really?

I've replaced nearly every part in these over the years, both hydro blocks, pumps, gas valves, fans, pcb's, turbine adapters galore.

In fact I think the only part ive never replaced due to failure is the electrode leads, although replaced one set because a mouse had chewed through it!

Yeah the odd fan and pcb but not to the point where I'd say it was an issue. Never a hydro block, but then that's something I've very rarely had to do on any boiler. Soft water and pressure rarely above 4bar if that makes any difference.

There is one thing that's starting to worry me though and thats the electrodes collapsing into heat exchanger and the boilers getting scorched beyond repair. I notice the new electrodes come with a small heat shield to try and stop the gasket crumbling.

Worcester " the installers choice" rubbish not this installer, we fit them on one HA contract the other three use valiants. There is not one single big thing that is wrong with them just loads of little things, like having to run the condense through the wall in 1"1/4, the jigs that don't quite line up, the flue screws that won't quite catch, and the condense trap you have to fit yourself. Grrrrrrrrr hate them
