Pressure is up to 3?? So when boiler is on, the gauge rises to 3 bar at the PRV blows off and water escapes the pipe outside. Is this correct? After this process does the gauge then read 0 (boiler stop firing)?

The hot water cylinder coil may have pinholed (old age) and as youe hesder tank is HIGHER water level than your cold water tank, your cold water tank if overflowing instead. Is the header tank constantly filling? You say the cold water tank's outlet at the bottom (from the hot water...

I agree, my toiler paper is very thick and my family use too much, so need to plunge now and again. Just wanted to get a good one for when required.

Is the boiler thermostat is set to high? The room thermostat may be out of calibration.

When did you turn the hot water off at the timer? How long ago?

Can anyone recommend a good professional power type plunger that I can buy I'd like to get a good quality one. Our toilet gets blocked regularly and so do the basin and sink now and again, but the toilet is the major problem. Thanks for your recommendations.

Has the cold water tank in your loft got a lid on? does the water inside the tank look clean/clear?

how much ptfe is sufficient, would you recommend?

is this a constant cycle now, does the boiler get topped up, then when water heated up inside, pressure go down to 0 again?? and so on..... if so probably expanion vessel problem (charge lost over time, or a few other things wrong with it). check the prv outside when the heating is on and the...

ok, thanks. So more than that and faulty, or less than that and faulty?? hawk white any god around the fibre washer ?
