    My Trianco Contractor is 11 years old. For a while now it has smelled 'oily' when on, and at the last service I mentioned the slight oil show which was to the side and just below the combustion chamber. He didn't seem to think much of it.

    Perrymatic Jetstream Mk2 Pressure reset button ?

    Neighbour's boiler had cut out due to low water pressure. I have re-pressured the system, but presumably I need to reset the boiler itself.
