since yesterday water has been leaking from overflow pipe outside. when i checked my ferrolli combi boiler inside the house the pressure is not holding and keeps draining itself leaving myself with no hot water and central heating. i would really appreciate it if someone could give me an idea on how to fix it? thank you

I had same prob with my ferroli falcon pressure release valve ,I stopped mine by tapping the valve casting with a suitable piece of metal bar .

Had same problem on a ferroli a couple of years ago. System had over pressured at some point, (Due to a leaking top up valve), at 3 bar a pressure realease valve pops. This valve was then never the same, always dripping even at 1 bar. Had to replace the valve.

You are having the same problem as myself it is the pressure gauge that needs altering it is usually to high and needs lowering by turning anti clockwise it is so simple but that is not always the case as last time this happened we called out the plumber this time there are none available my husband usualy tweeks it but he is not available at the moment so i am trying to fix myself.hope this might help a little if not a lot
