We have the aforementioned boiler, which has failed numerous times over the last 3 years since it was installed. Apparently the PRV needs replacing (an engineer checked it out and said that was the problem). We're hard up for cash right now, and the amount it'll cost to get an engineer to repair it is forcing me to consider attempting it myself. I'm pretty handy, but usually am very aware of my limitations and won't go beyond them. Gas stuff, boilers etc. have usually been something I have left alone mostly due to safety concerns etc.
With all that said, it does seem that many on the web manage to replace boiler components successfully with a little guidance and I'm up for attempting it. As I said, money is so tight right now it may well be our only option.
So, my question is: How easy is this to replace, and is there somewhere I can get info on the procedure? By the sound of it, I need to depressurize the boiler, drain it, do the swap, then repressurize/fill it, but obviously I need more detail to attempt it than that!
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
