The more I think about it the more I think it’s this one

But let’s just say for arguments sake it is the o ring that was in the the diverter valve head. Which would make sense because that oring would get squashed the most when the wax capsule goes in. So my question is. It’s not leaking at the moment. Shall I just leave it well alone? Or get that...

I’ve just looked at it! I thought it was metal but it’s just broke. So maybe you’re right. I just wonder which part it is from your diagrams! The part I removed from the front of the diverter valve? That was never opened anywhere near the boiler! So it’s virtually impossible for me to find it...

Hi I didn’t find an oring I found a washer! I also couldn’t find any other part! (The replacement front end) so I had no choice to replace the capsule. fingers crossed this time I have no leaks and I keep getting hot water and ch :)

Sorry mine photos aren’t inserted in the correct places!

Thanks I really didn’t expect that in depth response! Wished it would of come sooner whilst I had it all apart this morning from your photos a few things are of interest My new wax capsule is different to the old one. The new one doesn’t have the black bit on the end. But still has the same...

I really wished I had an exploded view of the inside of this diverter valve! Took it apart it’s in how it’s supposed to go! Just by chance I found another washer the exact same size as the bigger black part inside so I popped it on the end and inserted it. Felt a little more resistance when I...

Okay if my memory serves me correctly. The fat part is the part that I fitted to wax capsule. I also noticed that the small narrow pin didn’t sit directly in the middle of the diverter valve it was offset. I thought this was how it should of been. I uploaded a photo of how I didn’t fit it. The...

Okay did what you said the hot water is going to the radiators! So those two black pieces I took out and mistook for the wax capsule are wrongly inserted :( I’ve looked for an exploded drawing of this detail and I can’t find anything! Maybe the larger black piece is the wrong way round? I’ve...

The pressure on the hot water seems fine btw

I’m not sure I know how to do this! Why would it suddenly change the hot water was fine before?

Hi guys Low pressure light has stayed off :) but it seems I now have a hot water problem! It’s not getting very hot! Before I didn’t have a problem with my hot water but now I do! simple solution this time maybe?

Okay! I’ve drained the system again! Found where the capsule is! Behind another nut on the front. Taken it out switch the washers over like the old one! Put it back together. Still the low pressure light is on. After trying various things the low pressure light goes off. Boiler still wouldn’t...

So what did I take out then?

I’ve just filled the system back up! I have a leak coming from one of the pipes I disconnected and I now have a low system light on! many ideas I can live with a small leak for now :)
