Sorted no more leaks, manifold was split , not too bad a job to replace thanks for your help!

Yeah got silicone grease and all new o-rings ,can't seem to find it in the manual mind, just the actuator and valve mechanism removal can't see anything on removing the manifold hmm

Cheers yeah think I'll manage, there's good deals on whole assembly Inc head etc so probably easier to do whole thing, would I need to remove the 2 stub pipes (hw out and ch flow) or could they be left in situ and just remove the 3 pins and guide the whole thing out?

Yes this is what I thought but couldn't see one and really looks like it's coming directly from that seal between manifold and plate...anyway replacing the whole diverter assembly isn't too bad a job is it?

I changed seals again for ideal branded ones, but exact same dripping from the manifold/heat exchanger joint...if I over tighten then the drip turns to a spray and a drip. Is it possible the manifold has warped or distorted over time and just won't make a solid seal anymore?? Worth replacing the...

So been trying to sort this for a while , 1st started leaking few weeks ago from dhw outlet on heat exchanger plate, so bought the hydrobloc seal kit and replaced them... Leak then seemed to be slightly worse and spraying a bit instead of just dripping...so thought it was a pin hole in plate...

Thanks for the advice will do

Ah thanks, yeh I only bought the o ring and washer not the entire kit, the washer I pit in seems to be working so far but I'll certainly replace with the one you've said when I've got time!!!

Was correct it's a 15mm hw outlet pipe :)

Hi guys is this the correct fibre washer for this connector on the ideal isar connection..... https://www.theheatxchange.co.uk/ideal/ch-stub-pipe-kit-isar-icos-system/171049/sku_STE171049 Washer... https://www.screwfix.com/p/arctic-products-prestex-tap-connector-washers-5-pack/1109j thanks...

Hi chaps How to replace the o-ring this sound right? Mains isolated, cold water inoin isolated... Undo pipe at the bulkhead, take out pin in manifold and pipe should come out?..replace o-ring with a new one (silicone greased up), replace fibre washer in bulkhead connection.... Anything else...

I'm about to try this as I've replaced all the hydroblock seals and astil leaking, and now thith it's coming from the dhw out on the manifold so could be the o rings in there? Can you give me a little bit more detail breakdown on changing that o ring...do I disconnect that outlet pipe at the...

Possibly split or hole here just can't see...

Hi chaps. Isar he30 leakong It absolutely looked like it was leaking from the dhw out seal on the heat exchanger plate. So replaced it and the seals as got a good deal on a reconditioned one. Turns out wasn't that and exact same leak dripping. So from what I can gather it looks like the...

Cheers they're currently capped off about 4ft from the manifold, (ideally I'd like to carefully bend them back over if poss and extend) as the rad needs to be the other side of manifold maybe 8-10ft other side of it, room is about 12x11ft so wouldn't think a huge rad needed? Would I need 8mm...
