okay these are my problems, wanna see if i can do any repairs b4 caling sumone out, had the day off to look at my combi boiler, moved into house a month ago.the boiler must be as old as the house 7 years old, the problem was i was losing pressure, checked for leaks and no signs of leaks, also heating works fine but having problems getting hot water from taps, so today ive started to have a look, turned power gas and water off and removed covers, now from what i can tell ive got a leak on the main heater exchange there is signs of rust in the corner, im presuming there is a leak here and then the heat is drying it out, the problem with my pressure loss. heres sum pics

Now i have been represurizing system to keep me going doing it bout every 2 days. when i do it now it doesnt sound the same when i fill from the coldwater fill can hardly hear the flow but it does refill. so checked the pressure vessel, when i test it it just seems to leak water, this is just meant to contain air?
So looks like ill need a new heater exchange, pressure vessel. i need to know were i can get these parts ie of net? am i okay replacing these parts myself? only a auto spark and do mains. from what im guessing the heater exchange and pressure vessel should sort out pressure problem. heater echange doesnt look hard to change, pressure vessel gonna be a problem have no room at top of boiler. but what about not getting how water from taps?.
