It was a new one I believe, I took the diaphragm out and this was new but like you said unsure how long it's been sat around. Thanks for the silicone advice I think I've got some in the garage from a previous job so I'll give it a blast, last chance saloon before a new purchase. What are...

bought one from eBay hoping for an easy fix as planning to move next year, I may just bite the bullet and get a new boiler at this rate lol.

Only £60 spent for all 3 parts so bonus really. Depends what you call safe I'm no plumber but managed to replace all the parts without the need of one. Was looking for help from experienced people too troubleshoot. I can strip and build a car with no issues so unless you can do that looks...

The cap on mine wont move at all its solid. I have had to top the pressure up as I was unaware at the time of the leak until I noticed a patch of water. When I fire the boiler up the initial pressure is there but it does not stay on long enough for any change in pressure to be shown. (if...

Hi All, I'm after some advice on the above if possible? I have a halstead wickes combi 2000 and I've just lost my heating and hot water, after opening the front of the panel I have noticed my Auto air valve is leaking. I replaced the diverter and the pressure Release valve about 3...
