yes it does go to nearly 3 bar then drops to almost 0 is the repressurising very expensive ? (dont suppose its a diy job)

Does the pressure raise up to around 3bar when heating on? If so, the expansion vessel will requires repressurising. If this doesnt happen and it just contantly drips you can either remove and clean the pressure relief valve or replace the valve.
