yes, get someone to check gas pressure. Gas Safe Engineer would be able to locate the problem. The appliance may need slight strip down or could be as said before, gas pressure.

Assuming the boiler is a Potterton Puma and the wax capsul is the fault. Would you reccomend to change the whole divertor valve or can the wax capsul be replaced on its own.
thanks

Combi Boiler problem?

Combi Boiler: have'nt been told the model, only that it was fitted a year ago.
- hot water only works fine

- heating only works fine

- heating and hot water both become warm and pressure at hot tap decreases.

ANY IDEAS WOULD BE A GREAT HELP. thanks

I agree with you that in a bathroom or near water conections this method should not be used. I understand the preferred method by you and many engineers.

I have noticed that there are installations where the use of a plug is used direct into a unswitch shuttered...
