Leaking PRV/ boiler pressure dropping

Hang up your Chisels and Plane blades and take a load off with a recently turned goblet of your favourite poison, in the lounge of our Gentlemen's (and ladies) Club.

A little update.... The plumber has installed a second E.Vessel and an independent pressure gauge, which has revealed the boilers electronic pressure sensor is reading too high by half a bar. By going off the boilers digital readout I've been over filling. If I try and balance the pressure reading by filling for a low pressure then the boiler won't start as it thinks it's under pressure....( If that makes sense)...So a replacement sensor tomorrow.

The damage... £229 for all the parts and repairs, but hopefully a happy boiler.
