Hello all again. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I have only just been able to fix the leak by replacing the part 362 (see page 1 of this thread). Thank you all, for helping me sort the leak. (y) But unfortunately, there is a drip coming out the other side, where part 363 is, now...

Okay O&B. I will look into it. Thank you. (y)

Thanks Old&Bold. I have the clip, thanks. So I have to buy the whole assembly rather than just the rubber ring seals? :(

Am I able to get hold of the washers on the spindle (part 362), please? I know I can get the whols spindle unit but I don't need it all (I think).

BRILLIANT! Thank you so much. Yes, the drip was going down the back of the pipe from the nut above (out of picture). I gave it a clean and a little more of a tighten and so far, it appears to have stopped dripping. Just back to my normal leak enquiry on here...

How is it connected to the pipe please? I see two brass nuts, so what version do I buy please?

Yes it is. Is that all it is, a 'Drain Cock'?

Yes! Sorry....now added it. Thank you! :D

Hello. This little blighter (black plastic valve) has started to leak underneath my Ariston Combi Boiler, and quite quickly too! So please, can you tell me what it is called and can I replace it myself? Many thanks, ;)

Hello again. I have a little time to devote myself to this problem. Unfortunately the plastic piece that holds the microswitch was clipped onto the diverter, by a square washer. It has rusted away. I have a new one on order for the end of the week. So I unscrewed the nut that holds the spindle...

Thanks ianmcd! When you say unscrew....from where please? The plastic piece or from the golden colour rusty nut? Thanks,

Um.... there are no instructions in the booklet that came with the boiler? (n)

Thanks, How do I swap the tailpiece please? How is it attached to the main part please?

Thanks Ian. I presume, when you say tailpiece, your are talking about the plastic mount/bracket (grey) holding the micro-switch? If so, please can you tell me how it is fixed to the golden metal diverter valve unit? Thanks, ;)

Hello and thank you for your input so far. It is appreciated! I have attached some images, to help you help me please? It clearly shows the leak coming from where the micro-switch base connects to the diverter valve. Any suggestions and instructions please? ;)

Hello. When servicing the diverter valve, because it is leaking out where the pin sticks out to activate the micro-switch, does the water have to be turned off and the CH system totally drained please? Many thanks, ;)

Thanks Mike. I will take up your excellent suggestion. I have decided to install a double socket, so I have taken a couple of pictures to show how the wall is made up. Again, as far as I can see, it is made of of 3 sheets of plasterboard stuck together. The back box I will be using has an...

Thanks Foxhole. If you don't mind I won't do that but I will attempt to take a photo of where the double socket is to show the inner contents. And no, my dimensions are not wrong. Thanks to all. ;)

Thanks JohnD, but no, it's only plasterboard.

Thanks for all who have commented and my apologies for being so vague. It's a 1980's 2 bed terrrace. The wall separate's the kitchen with the living room/diner. The wall appears to be approximately just over 2 inches thick.
