Hi, Have a bit of a strange problem with a baxi duotec 28. When the CH is turned on the pressure instantly drops by 1/2 bar. All rads get hot and seems to be working fine. Over several weeks the pressure is gradually dropping so needs topping up. The expansion vessel is fine and there are no...

I stupidly decided to balance my radiators this morning as the ones furthest away from the boiler were cool.
