Nothing inherently wrong with going over to a combi if that's what you want. Will be cheaper to run anyway.
It's just that from what you've said, it's not really needed.
We had none of these problems with the old potterton but then it just packed up after years.

Re: Sealed instead of vented heating system
@ Dex,I wonder if Annie's guys are on about retaining the system boiler and using an unvented cylinder, when they say "sealed system"......?
That being the case, as long as the house is not huge and does not have two bathrooms which could be in use simultaneously, I'd still go combi for the reduced running costs.
What says you?

Agreed. Don't think that a G3 unvented cylinder would be needed. Changing a 5 year old system boiler to a combi and thus losing the cylinder in the airing cupboard is piddly, but creates potential space in the future.
