Hi Can anyone help please?
We have just bought our first flat and it has a combi-boiler. We managed to get it working after a fortnight with no hot water and heating last night. Woke up early this morning to a bang a water pouring from underneath the boiler. It looks like a pipe has burst
When we got the boiler working, the pressure gauge was showing right at the top (above about 4 bars) so could this be the cause? Our friend told us that this just meant the gauge was broken.
The pipe is right at the bottom of the combi boiler and looks like the hole in it should have another pipe coming off but may have been blocked with something. The something it was blocked with is where it is leaking.
If so, can anyone tell me how to reduce the pressure and possibly how to mend the pipe. I'm a complete newby!
Thanks
