Hi,
My Baxi Combi 105e is pishing out water and making quite a strange noise (almost sounds like a sheep constantly baa-ing).
Obviously it's to do with the pressure because my housemate bumped the pressure waaay up one day to the point where it's at 2.2ish when the heating is off and practically off the scale when on.
All this leaking is happening now while the boiler is off and it still doesn't appear to be dropping the pressure at all.
I know how to repressurise the system to boost it, but don't know how to release the pressure. Is this something I can attempt to do myself (there's two other taps on there that might do it but I don't want to touch anything)? Will bleeding the radiators get rid of enough pressure? Or should I just get the landlady on the phone and let her give me an earful before she gets someone qualified?
And is there a chance that the radiators could blow in the meantime?
Any help would be gratefully received.
