I haven't looked in the loft yet as you suggested it shouldn't have one. I had a quick scarper before but couldn't see a tank anywhere. I'll take some digi cam photos will this help?

The pipe that is leaking is nowhere near the boiler. It's at the other end of the house. But a friend on the phone is convinced it is the overflow pipe for the tank or boiler. It's very confussing, the boiler pressure is just over bar 1 like the manula said and the pilot light is lit however...

I'm not sure it would be very difficult to tell.

The pipe that is leaking water sticks out of the house outside. The pipe is situated between the ground floor and upstars. So it is below the boiler level which is in my bathroom airing cupboard. The pipe is white and plastic and is now watering my plants :). I've turned the mains water off...

The boiler is upstairs in the bathroom airing cupboard.

The boiler leak has now stopped. However the pipe outside still continues at a rapid rate.

Well it flames up for about 10 seconds on full blast then dies down for about 2 minutes. Repeatedly. Up and down surely it should be a constant big flame until the temperature is reqched because the radiators are just warm and nothing else. Gradually increasing temperature.

A friend said the oveflow will happen until it's leveled it's self out.. the flame just keeps on turning on full then going off repeatedly. Is this normal?

ok ive fired everything up. The boiler pilot light goes on a big flame then stops then does it again then stops. The radiators aregetting warm but the overflow hasn't stopped.

Hummm that's interesting! I went slightly over the red marker on the gauge it's about 1.2. Do you think this is what's causing the overflow? But when it was at 0 it was still overflowing. Bizarre!

Thanks COG Might it possibly be the water tank in the loft overflowing? so the float might be stuck causing the over flow. I put the boiler up to about 1.2 and is hasn't gone down any. Thanks for you time. John

Hey Breezer that tap worked. I got the gauge up to 1.2 quit easily. I'm thinking about trying it again, light up the pilot light and see what happens. Maybe it would be best to let the water drain first. Thanks for your help, I'll keep my fingers crossed until a pro can tell me what to do. :)

Thanks for your help Breezer! If anyone else wishes to make a comment please do so. I'm still a bit weiry about this pipe outside. Someone said it is the heater relief valve discharge. Ohhh that doesn't sound good :(. What about the dripping from the boiler also. Will this stop?

Ohh thank god I found this forum. Maybe you could save me a few quid. Only yesterday a friend came around to bleed the radiators as one of the radiators in the bedroom was only getting half hot. Now this morning i noticed that the heating wasn't working and the extractor fan on the boiler was...
