Breesey, all that s***e over the valve is jointing compound - I'm hoping it'll harden and stop any leaks. It's not a constant leak from the valve, but a tiny trickle every now and again, almost as if the pressure gets too much and a little bit just drops out now and...

How do you know when to stop tightening?
Oh, do you know if I can drain the system from the boiler?
If not, I'm thinking of getting a freeze kit and it'll save me some time...

The boiler is 14 months old and has been looked after pretty well
