    Which of these boilers would you recommend?

    I have just had the Glow Worm Ultracom2 30CXI installed, and have added a Climapro2 RF Roomstat and an outdoor sensor to it. Boiler seems very good, very quiet when running, good supply of hot water, not tested the heating in anger yet as it is still too warm outside.

    Boiler repair or replace

    Our Glow-worm Betacom 30 has started to leak from the diverter valve, the boiler is 7 years old and a replacement valve is £200. So the question is would you replace the diverter valve or replace the boiler?

    Detecting Compressor slow leak...

    What do you have on the outlet of the compressor? If it is a quick disconnect, it maybe that that is leaking, remove it and replace with a blanking plug and re-test. It may help to strip all joints, clean and re-make using loctite (or similar), as this seals better than PTFE.
