The first generation had a grey control fascia. Some of the first production run, 5 years ago could develop a leak in the heat exchanger after a while though these have mostly been dealt with under warranty.

When you say overflow, do you mean a copper pipe (usually) from the boiler to outside and it's dripping from there or do you mean a plastic condensate drain from the boiler?

If the former the earlier answer is possibly correct, if the latter you may have a leak in the heat exchanger which will need to be changed.

Don't think Vokera would do it under warranty as they only had 2 years though you could ask but they do do a fixed price repair for £230 which would cover it.

If it's dripping constantly from overflow weather boiler is running or not it's the expansion relief valve that requires replacing,if it only drips when boiler is running the expansion vessel requires recharging/replacing
