Thanks. The one I drained from is downstairs and I assumed it provided an outlet for all of them - it does not it seems. How should I drain the others? Will I need to undo the valves I am changing and catch the water in a tray do you think? There is also a drainage point on the boiler - is that rele...

Thanks - no, it's long out of warranty unfortunately. I will see if I can find anything in the manual (assuming we still have it) that may lead me to the board. Cheers, J
