Cant believe my luck at the moment,1st thing is the boiler has packed up when i got home from work,
Plumber says its old and we need a new one,Holy fuck when he told me how much i nearly fainted,
£1400 that includes labour he said no shit Sherlock.and this is no word of a lie,
10 min later the Missus calls me in a hysterical state,to tell me she has crashed the car..
she was fine ,but the car a right off.And Christmas round the corner im having serious
open wallet surgery.

First things first, how old is your boiler, get a second opinion bud and remember you can get a new
car, remember you are all still in one piece very hard on the wallet.
Count to 3 bud, no time is a good time when things balls up, good luck I hope you get sorted.

How's car insurance work over there? The "open wallet surgery" should be covered by HHS right

If you have a very old boiler you can get good deals from gas companies. Get a combi boiler also you might as well put proper radiators with double the heat. Saves you money in the long run.

Insurance will pay for the new car you will need.

Problem is the car was a old car 11 year old vw golf,Insurance only gave us £1300
for it, less the excess on the insurance we got £850,it breaks my heart because i
know it was old but it was in perfect condition.never mind gone now , and had to pay
£3500 to get the missus another run around.Thanks for the advice about the boiler
guys, getting a friend of a friend to give me another costing.

Cars are a pain, now your heating if you can get it repaired at a reasonable cost do it, remember there
is not a lot to a boiler, don't get ripped off don't let them fill you full of shit some out there will.!

That's really rough, I hope it all works out somehow.

What is it with boilers in the UK. It seems to be very common for boilers to break or else implode completely. It even happened to my Mum just a couple of years ago and so expensive.
