Thanks for your help & comments Picasso...the boiler it replaced had lasted 20+ years & was fashioned out of granite.... clearly these days they're made out of paper :( ....my bother in law (who's big on DIY) had said sometime back that there were supposed to be lifetime "issues" with aluminium...

Indeed & just 4years old...by heat exchanger I take it you mean the heat exchanger in the boiler? The boiler is Worcester Greenstar 40 cdi Conventional...

The plastic pipe I disconnected is the one that is connected between the boiler & a plastic pipe which then runs to the outside, under the house tiles & into the gutter of the house (that's the boiler condensate line as I know it). It's a plastic pipe, not copper. During the heating being on...

Ok, next step in the story Picasso. Can't see anything outside ...because of the 10inches of snow we have here :shock: So....disconnected the condesntate from the boiler to the outside drain line & hung it into a 2 gallon bucket...pressurised the system (as per before) up to 2 on the gauge...

Thanks again Picasso, I'm struggling to work out how to do what you've described, I better get someone in to look at it. I've just pressurised the system up again (open water valve on smalll red expansion tank, gauge rises from zero to 1.5 to 2, close that valve). Pressure then immediatley...

Thanks Picasso, a picture's not possible at the moment. The central heating system was pressurised & the pressure was falling. I thought that the airpocket in the Megalflow tank might have been a possible issue because when the boiler was on water was dripping quite a lot into the tundish...
