Thanks again, the leak seems coming from a pipe joint. The location of the joint is, if you have the manual, page 6 figure 1.18 the joint is marked "J" in the picture. There was staining down the pipe with a collection of water on the self as the pipe passes down to the lower section of the...

Thanks for that, but can you tell me if I need to drain the boiler before disconnecting the diverter valve? I will be taking care of the leak, what is the best compound to seal the threads? I should have the new valve by Wednesday. I will give it a go then. Regards

Eureka!! I think I have found the problem. When I took the cover plates off I saw some staining near the cable entry point inside the boiler. On further examination I followed the likely route and there was a lot of staining on the pipe up to the heat exchanger. There was a bit of a puddle on...
