West Lothian ...diverter valve me thinks ...can you fix?

[John Hannah]

I posted in the thread below (summary also below).

Anyone in West Lothian able to advise/fix. Weekends best?

Thanks,
John.

So I've had a look about the forums and was wondering ...

I have a Halstead Ace High boiler.

I have central heating that's working.
I had a small leak (now repaired).
The pressure still drops on my boiler even though the leak is fixed.
Have replaced the water filler part (that was leaking) and it will only fill to 1 bar.
I get no hot water when I call it.

Based on what I've been reading ...I believe the diverter valve diaphragm may be faulty?

I have had a look and the small piston operates (sorry don't know the names) when the central heating is on. However there is a case with a piston on top and one on the side. The piston on the side doesn't appear to work.

Is it the case then that it is definitely the diverter that is dodgy and should I replace the diaphragm and the springs.

Also I'm not registered but it looks like a DIY job I could do. Is this an issue or should really be getting BG or someone in?

Thanks for any help
