hi again

update :-

just went to try to put pressure in the vessel and hot water came spraying out

I take it that's not supposed to happen

No, sounds like it needs replacing.

oh dear thought it might come to that.

is it a hard job for a plumber ??

also would it be expensive ??

How hard depends on access. Boiler will need to come off the wall or if there's room you could have a separate one fitted. No idea of the price.
