Cheers, I wasnt 100 % on just the diaphram , just in the manual as we speak , it says drain the boiler , do you have to ?

if just the diaphragm then no,just isolate cold ,dont forget the tiny washers 2 required ,if changing the whole valve then yes and there is a procedure to it,remove the black motor and wedge down the spindle while you drain down,if you dont the storage water from the EV will stay in there,normal cause is water everywhere and a wet pcb,cover the pcb well BUT do not remove it if aged ,when you do the job take a hairdryer with you just incase

Many thanks again , I wouldnt dare remove it lol, draining the boilers hard enough anyway rightside panel wont come off because its in a cupboard , cony trap conection is rusty so I dont want to move that , ( but it looks like I may have to ) just to get to the drain off, I think its just going to have a diaphram lol

Isolate it all , use Prv to release water then slightly unscrew diaphragm so it cracks , excess water will release , job done

Use the prv to drain the boiler? They hardly ever re-seal.
