Can I buy this valve?

I have an ideal combo boiler and I have found that this valve is leaking. Can someone tell me what valve this is please, so I can buy one. Thank you

Hi sorry for late reply. I just wanted to say that I put up the light in around 30 minutes thanks to everyone here. I really appreciate all your comments helping me.

Can I just check with you that the blue and brown wire in the photo, is actually part of the existing light bulb holder and will not be used with the new light at all?

Thanks for the prompt reply. I am now all set. I will let you guys know how it goes.

Feel rest assured the main fuse switch is always flipped off before I do anything electrical.

I have bought the connecting blocks you have suggested. I will be putting up the light this week.

When you say one connector block, do you mean one single connecting block from the strip ie all three wires go in one hole and are screwed down. Also should I wrap red insulation tape around the block?

Can you please tell me which block I need. Is it the big chunky connecting block. If so I have these.

All swapped over now and working a treat thank you.

Thanks for the clear info Stem. I have brown sleeve in the garage I will swap it over.

I have bought a HIVE thermostat 'single channel' and I allocated today to change my existing thermostat over. I have taken cover off and I can see that the boiler pump is wired on to it also. Which complicates things a little. Can someone tell me where L1 and LX goes on the HIVE connection...

A little history behind this - my neighbour (who has learning difficulties) called me in a flap yesterday as water was pouring from the radiator on to her kitchen floor. I whizzed round and turned her water off and drained the system and then took photo of pipe, and then asked question here. To...

You assume and judge (incorrectly) my DIY skills lack or not up yours because I ask a simple question that I do not know the answer to. I myself am a computer engineer/programmer I am always more than happy to help anyone with any enquiry they may no matter of their skills or background. I don't...
