You need the correct certification to work on these cylinders. Looks like you need a new one.
Not a massively expensive job in the grand scheme of a property sale. Half a day's work assuming that all is correct with the current installation.

The unit will most probably need replacing the unit will need to be drained and locate where the leak is.
These units are guaranteed for 25 years if you contact the manufacturers they will inspect it and replace it free off charge.
They will need a copy of the service record and bench mark paperwork assuming you have had it serviced every year with the service record completed.
Working on these units is not a diy job you need an approved un-vented installer (G3)

The cover is missing from the immersion heater ! That looks to be potentially quite dangerous.
They are guaranteed for a number of years and usually for at least 10 years !
BUT to validate the warranty it is a requirement that the cylinder is given an annual service!
Otherwise a replacement is likely to be required.
Once replaced, a new cylinder will be a selling point.
Likely cost less than £1k.

Hi everyone thanks for the replies. I did get in touch with the manufacturer but they say as it's not been serviced then they can't do anything about it. I was never given a service book with it when I moved in and when I started looking into it it was fitted in 2006 and as I moved in in 2008 they say that it would have needed to be needed to be serviced in between, so even if I had done an annual service they'd have not covered it under the guarantee anyway. I have got the cover I took it off to clean the dust off
Do you get your car serviced?
I do yes but I just never thought a water tank would be needed to be serviced I just thought it was a tank to heat your water I had a new heating element fitted a year or so ago and plumber never said about it being serviced or anything like that. But I've put this down to experience maybe an expensive lesson
a lot of people don't
Will that include the cost of replacing the D2 Tony, all the subsequent fabric & decoration repairs??
It does say on the Data Badge about annual service & a Stock Plot's appliances may have been service by the Developer in the interim- to my uncertain knowledge?
I'd fit another Range Tribune, like for like. It's not the cylinder manufacturers fault the knumpty house holder's not got it serviced. Anyway, it's a Tribune Tony has included in his Quote of under a grand.........
Very unlikely from the picture. And no professional in his right mind would try and repair an unvented cylinder.
