Boiler engineer sought in Manchester area for old Vaillant

[lxndr]

I have an old Vaillant combi bolier, I think it's a VCW 242 EH which in general has given me little trouble. Over the last few years though it has started losing pressure and has got to the point where it's a real nuisance and needs topping up every time it's used.

It's been suggested that the problem is most likely to be caused by the expansion vessel and I further understand that there are likely to be two possibilities .. either it can be repressurised or I should fit a standard 12 ltr vessel to the heating return pipe near to the boiler.

Is there anyone who'd be interested in quoting for the above?

Re pressurising the expansion vessel is something you can do your self.

is there any water dripping from the boiler on the left hand side??

I read the FAQ and I'm just not confident enough nor competent enough to do it. There's no water dripping from the boiler to the best of my knowledge. IIRC the heat exchanger was on the left hand side but was replaced about a month ago.

My post code is M33. And believe me, I don't do 'posh' .. if I was a 'posh git' I'd have the money to replace it
