Hi everyone, new here so go easy
As the cold weather draws in, am hoping to fix a problem with our glowworm boiler that has been going on for a while, simply for the fact that we really don't have the wedge to fix it.
Every morning, when we wake up the boiler has dropped to 0.6 bar and has to be repressurized.
Now, I don't believe there are any leaks round the house.....a plumber was out about 8 months ago to service it and said the expansion vessel was bucked and quoted about 300 to fix it, which we didn't have......still don't ffs.
Firstly, from reading here this does indeed sound like the culprit......is my check for that to push the Tyre valve in in the vessel and check if water pushes out?
Secondly, best place to buy these vessels? Is it a job someone technical albeit not a plumber can do?
Thirdly, 300 quid?
Cheers in advance peeps
Andy
