reason being i turned feeds of soon as wife found towels in cuboard under boiler soaking,she was going for a bath,phoned my nepew up who is gorgi,he told me wat to do,so this stoped water from doing any more damage,thanks

The leak must have got worse when it was filled up,not realy clued up on this,but watched all 3 work,and for water on both ocasions to hit heat exchanger in same place,seams to me it was same fault all 3 times,

The engineers were from pro-tec local company
