sounds good, out of interest what is the life expectancy of a well maintained standard combi boiler ?
These days, around 8 years

You're right, it's not long. The older ones could go on for 20+ years, but they could end up being woefully inefficient.
New boilers these days just don't last as long. There's all kinds of reasons, from them not being made as well as they once were as a result of driving the price down, to potentially being incorrectly spec'd for the property and short cycling as a result, and installer workmanship, or lack of.

Do Maserati make boilers?
As per my original answer, around 8 years could be 10 years
That has always been the average for me (oil fired) - last time I junked it in favour of air source heat pumpif i had a boiler that only lasted around 8/10 years i would not be a happy bunny

Good but you need to replace your radiators as well and get used to a different style of heating. Also hot water sometimes marginal (but you can always bang the immersion on). so I like the idea of the hybrid combi air source mentioned.how are you finding that
I’ve got a woollen house coat and some silk thermals for when it gets really cold. Both have a 10 to 12 year lifespan if used frugally.
The kids still run around in shorts or pyjamas whatever the weather.
Not your wrench??? Shame on youas in the victorian days, i send my not so young wench to warm the bed up
Just incase you were wondering on how to charge them all!!!

And it's not even that cold at the moment - see how much we are pulling from Europe - and that's when the wind is blowing
Would that make you a “Bunny Boiler”?if i had a boiler that only lasted around 8/10 years i would not be a happy bunny
