Diverter valve or DHW demand switch failed!

Read up on this fault which results in one or two postings a week!

You have problems....

You need to replace the DHW diaphragm flow switch, it's would be a good idea to replace the microswitch as well.

The filling loop needs to be disconnected and capped, this problem has probably caused your expansion vessel to fail and your PRV is almost certainly u/s.

a stuck/non working diverter valve and worn or blocked pump, or sludge in the rads, could also be contributing :(
