Hi there, Well winters here and the Central Boiler is not firing reliably.
I just drove home through the Snow from a family Christmas in Ormskirk and the house was freezing and the red light on the Boiler was on.
A quick press and it's up again - pressure is at Zero.
Quick tweak underneath and put a bit of water in - 1bar and it's off and the house is coming back to temperature.
Seems to be losing pressure every other day now - so action / repair needed.
Well, like most at this time of year, I'm broke and wondered if I can diagnose and fix so I've read a few posts on this forum - which seem to point to the PRV Pressure Relief Valve blowing off and or the Expansion tank not being pressurized.
The Boiler is circa 8 years old and has been working fine though this isn't a new this year problem.
None of the Radiators exhibit a leak - so where do I start and can I diagnose and fix it myself or is it a Valliant Engineer job?
Thanks in advance..
