@Agile - i didn't realise until you your last post that there was a difference between a Baxi Combi 105e and a Baxi Instant Combi 105e. Been thinking about the boiler today. We've been in this house about 6 years and even when we first moved in the CH circuit would lose pressure to need...

@ChrisOxford - i didn't empty the cold water pipes, just turned of the main stopcock. Should i have emptied the cold pipes by opeing the house taps? one of the CH flow or return isolator valves wouldn't quite close properly so i went and drained a little water out of a downstairs rad. I would...
