Hi
We have a Halstead Ace combi boiler in our place that we've been in for 12 years (it was already there). It seems to need the EV replacing as I repressurised it last year but I'm still facing the same problem now. The boiler drops to about 0.5/0.6 bar and works away happily but if you fill it from the mains to 1.2 bar as recommended after time will eventually drop back to 0.5/0.6 bar.
It's really difficult to get to the EV as it's at the back of the boiler, so the question is should I get it the EV replaced in situ or even get an external EV or should I just go ahead and get a new boiler? I hear WB or Viessmann Combi's could be suitably decent.
Cheers
