I assume the original prob was the low pressure. Does this happen frequently or is it a new thing?

Felt like a thief while holding a torch and looking at the prv but you were spot on it is leaking indeed and also causing a new problem of making my car dirty Sorry, may be a bad joke but I dont know what to do now!!!

 

[twgas]

As Kev said, check the little pipe bit outside, also keep an eye on the pressure while the central heating is warming up,

Yes, its zero now but the central heating and hot water both seem to be fine

Also, the prv is still leaking

 

[kevplumb]

first call is to change the prv second is check the precharge in the expansion vessel

Judging from the Spielberg style intro to this topic, I think your limited understanding of sealed system and expansion vessels etc points to your needing a plumber experienced with central heating systems.
