Just to update those who have given me help & advice. I havent replied for a while as the problem seemed to be going away but i`m not so sure. I`ve been topping up the water in the system when cold every couple of days to bring it up to 0.8 bar where it used to sit on average. No leaks...

Mandate Thanks for the reply. I picked up your reply late last night and taking your idea i taped a bag over the prv outlet outside and this morning it was dry. The boiler was not running during the night, would this matter? The prv has not been touched since installation 4 years ago, its...
