Hi,
I hope someone can clarify a few things for me...
My central heating is working fine but my hot water isn't. I have always had to turn my HW taps/shower on gently in order to have HW (probably because the boiler is a bit crap) but recently when I have done this I have had no hot water. I have taken off the cover and I can see the little pin on diverter valve is sticking and it only comes out the full way if I put the taps/shower on full blast but this isn't much use because the water is flowing way too fast to heat up.
So this sounds like the DV has gone right? does the whole value need to be replaced or just the diaphragm
Is this a DIY job? I'm fairly handy but if it's not I'll have to get the professionals in.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
