Hi there,
I have an old Vokera 80 SP which can't control its pressure. If I switch it on, the pressure goes up to 4 bar very quickly and leaks out quickly as well.
I got the British Gas guy out to have a look at it and he said that the expansion vessel needs to be filled. However, the fitting of the boiler is such that he couldn't get to the valve to top it up. He was a bit grumpy about it and told me I should just get a hammer and bang a hole in the boxing around the boiler to give him access. I was somewhat reluctant to do this and so he left with the boiler still unworking.
After he'd gone, I found that I was small enough to squeeze around the boiler and get to the valve. However, I'm now a little unsure about topping it up myself. I know I can just use a bicycle pump to fill the valve, but this page:
