Hello
I have had a long term problem with my boiler.
Went through a few months where the Hot water only worked if Central Heating was on.
With the recent hot weather we turned all the radiators off, and all was fine for around 2 months and we had hot water which was ok, but now the boiler wont ignite and just makes the same sound it did when when the rads were hot and it didn't need to pump.
From my research the problem seems to be with the diverter valve but I don't know which bit that is, and as I'm so cash poor at present I cannot afford to get someone into repair/replace it.

Is the diverter valve the part that I have circled in red ?
And what steps should I take before I open it up to replace the diaphragm.
Should I drain the whole system etc ?
Thanks
