    Huge problem with water pressure after expansion vessel replacement

    Ok, maybe I have the model wrong. Definitely a Buderus though and it's brand new from 2017/2018. Got someone coming round today to take a look thankfully! For the safety valve, the outlet is just open, no pipe attached. It always has been like that.

    Huge problem with water pressure after expansion vessel replacement

    This is the black cap thing https://i.imgur.com/h3Rx13Q.jpg There's another pressure gauge next the expansion vessel which stays steady at 1 bar I'm not sure Miracle Seal would work. Whoever built the house used cast iron pipes and didn't insulate them before putting the concrete on top...

    Where is the bleed valve on my oil-fired boiler?

    Hi everyone, We have an OERTLI OES 150/152 LE boiler (see the pics below). We ran out of oil last week and had it filled up but the boiler is not firing. From what I've read I need to bleed the boiler to let the air out and get some oil in. However, being about as clueless about DIY as...
