I think I've been a bit mixed up with all this.
It's leaking through the pipe outside, takes about 40 mins to build up any pressure (just about 1 bar) to be able to use the boiler, then it loses pressure overnight. So I think it's as I've quoted above, prv replacement job.
Will empty the vessel so no pressure on the prv, take out and replace, pressure up the vessel then hopefully it should work?
Thanks, Colin
