I'll try to be brief.
Ideal combi boiler, 9 yrs old. Usually on timed heating. Starting losing pressure o/n last autumn. My contractor back and forth over winter, no obvious leaks to pipes, replaced virtually whole boiler. I said afterwards "I expect I should think about replacing it, quite old now". He laughed and said not to do that, with all its new parts it was virtually new anyway. It seemed ok, then we switched off heating for summer. All's been well.
There one section of pipe in concrete floor. All bar a straight run of 10ft was replaced this summer as having some other work done. No leaks found.
Put heating back onto timer this week - same old, same old. Go to bed, get up at 6am, boiler dead as a dodo, pressure zero. Put some pressure back in, works fine all day. Go to bed....
Any suggestions/ideas/freaky observations welcomed. I am truly at the end of my tether and contemplating the sledge hammer.
