How would that work? Genuine question lol

That looks just the ticket! Thanks. Unfortunately no underfloor access or chimney breast nearby...

Has anyone got a good solution for venting a portable AC machine through a top opening casement window (similar window style attached)? I don't like the velcro on material and the sliding things that come with are for sash type Windows. Something temporary would be better for the two weeks of...

Been 4 days now and not really lost any pressure. If main heat exchanger was leaking would using hot water alone cause it to expand and leak still or would that not be the case?

Boiler suggested is a baxi combi2 830 which comes with a good warranty by looks and good reviews. I guess the preheat you mention is a modern version of the comfort mode on current vaillant?

Will try your suggestion and report back!

House is 60s I don't have room for a system boiler so combo only real option. Is 30-40 secs poor then to get hot?

That's exactly it if it's 699 plus labour no brainer to replace and get a long warranty on a new one etc

The main heat exchanger is leaking which is why looking to replace it's also manufacture date of 2010 so of an age. Assuming I've read the sticker correctly! Does this confirm it's also a 25.5kw version?

I'm not too bothered about the taps I'm used to it was just wondering if a a higher KW would improve this. Will rads get hotter quicker with higher KW?

Lost .2 bar overnight after isolation, will give a few more days and monitor

It's not increasing it's losing pressure

Flow and return have now been isolated, now I hope the pressure drops to rule out pipework! Question, if the main heat exchanger is leaking, would only using hot water still cause it to expand as guess there's a smaller heat exchanger for hot water too in these vailants?
