Thanks Ian, I will have a go this weekend. Regards Keith

Hi Ian , thanks, the last time I charged the vessel, I did not open the drain valve, so I will try again, I have looked at other threads and not found info I require, so if I drain off the boiler, leave the tap open , then fit my foot pump to the valve on top of the vessel and pump up to 2 bar...

Thanks Ian, I have no space above the boiler, only to the left. The last time I recharged the vessel I did not have the drain point open. May be that was my error? I will try again over the weekend. Regards Keith

Thanks Ian. Re. the same boiler, an old problem on it, needs attention, not connected to the diaphragm one. It constantly drips from the overflow pipe to the outside, I think it needs re-pressurising?, I have used a foot pump to bring the gauge up to 2.5bar, but that only sorts it out for a...

Hi Ian, an update on the job. I have now a drip free boiler!, It is a 105e "Instant" boiler, so I gave you the wrong details, the difference in the bit that leaked ,is that mine has a fork spring clip holding the diaphragm in place, the other type has bolts. So, thanks for your advice, and...

Hi Ian, I have had a look at my boiler and found my service manual. Please can you confirm that we are on the same area of the boiler. ? The leak is behind the DHW pressure differential valve, it drips from the brass housing that it sits in. Looking at the brass housing front, does that bit...

Thanks Ian, I will have a go, Regards Keith

Thanks Ian, if the part you showed is the one I require, I am sure that I could not get a spanner in the area to undo the olives on the housing, even the smallest spanner I would not be able to turn the olive, does this sound about right? Regards Keith

Hi Ian, I have just looked at the link again and that may be the unit.I am at work so I cant look at my boiler until next week. Regards Keith

Hi Ian, I dont think its the part you show, working from the front of the boiler, there are two electrical switch boxs in black plastic cases, I removed the left one (the problem one) and behind that there is the diaphram which is moved with a plunger from the converter valve. The stainless...

Hi Thanks for the reply, I live in Lancs BB postcode, I do like the look of pebble dash, the bulding is about 1930, and is of brick construction, so I would think to knock off all the old stuff to the brick, perhaps? Regards Keith

Thanks for that tip. Do I need to adjust the pistons for a handbreak that is ineficiant, as the MOT test for the foot break test past all OK, so I am asuming that the tolerances are acceptable?. By way of interest how does the piston self unscrew, just by motion and rotation of the pad/disc...
