pressure release vavle i take it lol one thing i need to ask how do i take the combi cover off to get at the valve to replace it. as the images ive seen so far have the cover as a 2 part where you gain access via the bottom have which flips down but my combi cover is 1 soldit cover?
You are looking at the wrong manual...the later Greenstar Juniors have the flip down panel...your boiler is the obsolete Junior.
Pop off the plastic surround on the front. Remove the 2 screws either side.
Look towards the back of the boiler on the left. The red conical shaped cap is the safety valve. This requires replacing. The expansion vessel located behinbd the boiler also requires checking for pressure...see the FAQs. Pump up to 0.7 Bar.
Have a good look for leaks especially around the pump connections and the auto air vent (on top of the pump casing at the back). The loop may have failed causing over pressurisation...it should be disconnected when not in use and the pipe ends capped.

hi cheers for that reply, does anyone know what kind of cost would i be looking at if i got a plumber to sort this out?
latest. i spent a while looking at the combi yesterday ie taking all the caseing off and looking around inside for leaks.i also represured the pressure vessel and left it for a while and the pressure had stopped dropping plus there was no drips outside from the overflow pipe.great i thought but tonight the combi has started to make a loudish ketteling type noise and after a little while it cuts off?
I like to think that I wouldn't do anything dishonest or illegal.
Oh, and I wouldn't sh@g Robert Redford.
And the client was a Nigerian landlord, I'd have to see cleared funds, in full, before lifting a finger. No offense - it's just that they're all crooks.
