Thanks gas4you! No its not that short, think its 2-4days training for ccn1 then exam followed by the appliance assessments/exams. I'm curious,is their alot of mathamatecal questions?I'm still not up to scratch on gas rating & i'm pis* at maths.....so this has got me worried.

No, don't think so....checked for dripping on PRV everymorning,what would cause the overpressurising if this was the case? The heating is off most of the night so don't think it would be the PRV, only other thing I can think of is the primarycoil on the cylinder like baxipoti said, is there a...

Cheers baxi, now sorted. :wink:

Iv'e only just noticed, there is no warning light just a re-set button...oops. Don't think there's air, bled all rads and pump. All valves are open, now you mention the bypass, there is a 15mm gate valve which was leaking and is now in the closed (stopped leak) position, i'm sure this is the...

Its a Baxi Solo RS.....the pilot is still going out due to the overheat sensor tripping out, Ive re-set it....lowered the pressure and turned the stat down on boiler, kinda stumped as to what course of action to take next? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Could this be as a result of me changing the vessel,can it be linked to low or high pressure?

I recently replaced my expansion vessel after the system kept on losing pressure,since replacing vessel system worked fine but now the pilot light keeps going out, suspect its going out before or when it fires up first thing in the morning...I re-ignite it only for the same routine next morning...
