Update---- My problem is now fixed. I called in a plumber to isolate the groundfloor rads, and after 2 weeks the pressure was still fine. As there was no sign of a leak downstairs, I had to assume the pipework in the concrete slab was leaking. For peace of mind I took the decision to have...

The pressure problem still persists, so I need to trace the fault. I was given some advice to close the flow and return valves to determine if the boiler is the source of the problem. If I do this, is it still OK to use the boiler for hot water, and should I also leave the CH 'on' (ie leave...

Yes sorry, Panasonic. Getting 2 TVs mixed up.

The HD channels I am most interested in are 50 (BBC1), 51 (BBC2), 52 (ITV1) and 54 (BBC HD). I haven't seen a Channel 4 or 5 HD on the guide yet. I understand the programmes I am comparing are in HD because they have the HD symbol on the guide, and you can select to watch in standard def or...

I have a Toshiba TX-P46S20B, full HD ready with Freeview HD. There appears to be no difference between the picture quality of the standard channels and their HD equivalent (eg BBC1 and BBC1 HD). Picture quality of both are good, but I had expected the HD channels to be special! Should I have...

Sorry, its beyond my experience level. Suggest you start a new thread with this latest problem, experienced engineers would probably pick up on it better

Sounds like a problem with the boiler - water coming out of the overflow is a sign of a faulty Pressure relief valve or expansion tank? Sounds like you need a heating engineer>

Sorry, jumped in too quickly without looking at your photo. The boiler has a different layout. Why not look for the User Manual on the Worcester website?

Have a look at this thread posted today //www.diynot.com/forums/plumbing/greenstar-42cdi-combi-boiler-ch-not-working.311656/ its all in there

I am having to re-pressurise every day now! I believe I have eliminated the pressure relief valve as the cause. I tied a bag to the discharge pipe 2 days ago, but it has remained totally dry. I have checked all the radiators and exposed pipework for leaks - nothing. There is no air in...

I'm no expert, but as I said before I have to so this regularly. I believe you can get a pressure loss over time without having any problems - your pressure may have been dropping gradually for a while without you noticing it. Sudden loss of pressure is indicative of problems somewhere in the...

Its straightforward enough, I am having to do it regularly at the moment as I have a loss of pressure that I can't trace! The pressure should be between 1 and 1.5 bar, in the green part of the scale. If you have the User Manual it's in there. If not, you can find one on the Worcester website...

Have you tried re-pressurising the boiler?

Thanks, will arrange a plumber to visit as I can't deal with boiler problems myself

I am having to re-pressurise the boiler every few days, although it does still work even though the pressure has dropped to near 0 bar. Can anyone advise how I can find out if the cause is a leak in the radiators / pipework, or a problem with the boiler itself? I have tried using Fernox to...
