H chaps.
Just bought my first house(terrible 1 bed terrace) and it has a Jaguar 24 KTVJ combi-boiler. Not used it yet because don't have much spare money for gas, but noticed this week that there is a small puddle under the unit...
I've taken the cover off and had a look inside and have seen the leak. I have done some research and it looks likes the "pressure" relief valve washer is shot and leaking.
Would really like some help in finding a replacement washer and some advice on changing it, not sure if I can take the inner cover off the front(held on with clips) or the side panel off without disturbing any seals ect. Looks like the valve is quite hard to get to/remove, but I am willing to have a go. Also not sure what is going to happen when the valve is removed, I assume the system will have to be drained beforehand as all the water will fall out with the prv removed?
Here are a couple of pictures:
The front silver cover and side cover, ok to remove?
Am I correct that this is the PRV?
This is the washer I think I need, pretty sure its leaking from here as you can see. Just looks like a black rubber washer?
Thanks for any help, Ben
