can anyone?

can anyone tell me why when my heating is on the boiler pressure keeps rising from 1Bar all the way up past 2bar at this point i switch it off because it might blow if it rises any more

assuming that the pressure vessel is ok

you are going from one to two bar because of water expansion when heated.

I would only expect 1 to 1.5 bar

it could be you have a lot of radiators or the vessel needs replacing or re-charging.
At 3 bar the pressure relief valve will operate and excess water will be shot out through the wall. This is not dangerous but not desirable.
