By "switching them over" you mean replacing a bottle with a new one, or
moving from an empty bottle to a full one? For the latter you can get
automatic switch-over valves.
I'm aware of those. This Baxi Combi 105e is from hell. I'm fed up with
it. I just want to get it replaced. The one thing that really pisses
me off is that it doesn't have a pressure gauge. So it's not terribly
easy to tell how much gas is left.

You cant tell how much is left without weighing the bottles - its Low
Pressure Gas (liquid in a full bottle) and the (vapour) pressure is more
or less the same until it runs out - which is why you have the
switch-over valve for continuous supply.

And my switch-over valve does the switch-over automagically leaving a
red indicator pointing to the bottle needs replacing, which makes the
entire process easy as long as I check the indicator every so often.
