Please help. My Baxi 80e boiler is 4 yrs old. About 6 months ago after I had a bathroom fitted (including new radiator) the water pressure dropped and despite filling, wouldn't hold.
I bled my radiators and had the plumbers back, who tightened up the valve on the bathroom radiator which was leaking slightly.
Between then and now - all was fine.
Tonight, however, the CH went off and I realised the pilot had gone out - and again, pressure was below 1 bar. I filled water to 1.75, turned the left dial anticlockwise (as suggested in manual which I have downloaded) to reset and the light fired up.

Since then, however, it just keeps going out after anywhere bewteen 10 seconds and 5 minutes.

Pressure has not dropped and this has been going on (or not!) for the last 6 hours now.

What's happening? Anything I can do/am doing before I call out a Baxi engineer that I can't afford to pay?

Appreciate your help! :(
