My landlord wanted to install a brand new boiler last year, but I couldn't be arsed with the hassle.

I must have misunderstood.

I thought you were going to 'borrow' your neighbour's brand new boiler while he was away on holiday.

im awaiting when the plumber can come and fit my new supposedly 97% efficient boiler 

Don't get a Ferroli TD, the damn things are cheap for a reason! 

I have an 8 year old Ferroli condensing boiler which has had loads go wrong with it and I've been fitting some new o rings in it today to fix some water leaks, only to discover that the main heat exchanger has a leak as well. 

A new heat exchanger retails at around £350   so I'm hoping my friendly plumber can fix it!!

Shove some rad weld in it 

No, not getting one of those....

It will probably be this one...

Viessman Vitodens 100-W Open vent boiler 19kw .... not that cheap at about £800

No gas where we are but we pay £49 a month by direct debit for the electricity.

We also have to buy about 2000 litres of heating oil each year......roughly £1100. Additional to this we use some six or seven 47 KG propane bottles for the fire. These cost £52 each, this year.

So in the ballpark of £2200 each year. 

Just asked swmbo and we cannot be certain but I think we were only paying £47 a bottle for our caravan (Static) last year........

Hmm. Worth decanting them into the Omega at that price.

Does that work out cheaper that Auto LPG then? I remember driving fork lifts with a gas bottle fueling them, so presumably you could use a propane cylinder or even butane......

but don't get caught doing it ... Propane in bottles does not have the "Road Duty of 31p/kg" on it  ... so is technically illegal to use in a car .. though just how they would prove it is beyond me ..... a tad tricky to put a red dye in it methinks !!!

Yes, indeed. Was just an idle thought.

Not sure it'd be worth the hassle/risk, and I think it would be a tad suspicious for a house with mains gas to be getting through one of those a week.

Fork lift gas bottles are totally different to "normal" ones, as they have a liquid gas takeoff, normal bottles have a gaseous take off ... 

Small bottles are horrendously expensive, ok a 47 Kg for £60 is 64 p/litre .. I pay 72p/litre autogas ..  but a 13 kg is £27 ..  £1.04 a litre !!!! and the 6Kg ones are a rip-off .. £21  is £1.75 a litre !!!

So unless you can pick up 47 kg and dump it in the boot .....
