VerifiedHi my name is XXXXX XXXXX lets see if we can get you sorted in the shortest possible time. Can you check the discharge pipe outside (about 3ft below the flue) and tell me if it is dripping when the boiler is heating?
OK, if it holds again then it is fine, bleed a radiator and take it down to 1.5 bar - done.
