I have a Paloma Mk5 water heater on PM which has developed a small leak in the heat exchanger department. I am wondering about the best course of action: I don't think these particular beasts are made any longer so direct replacement is not an option. There are two possibilities that I can think of (there may be more). The first is to cut my losses and buy a Morco D61 which may (or most probably will not) fit in the gap and align with the existing flue. The second is to part exchange the old unit for a reconditioned one - there is a company at Lowestoft advertising (on Ebay) exchange units for about £100 irrespective of condition of old heater. Since I have "caught a cold" buying through Ebay in the past I am somewhat reluctant to throw some more of my hard earned pension down the drain! Has anyone had experience of dealing with this company in Lowestoft (regarding recon Palomas), or can anyone offer an alternative suggestion - dodgy s/h Palomas allegedly in working order or converting to a calorifier are not particularly attractive options.
