    Even if no hot taps are dripping, you may have a water leak somewhere on the hot outlet pipework. Try shutting your cold mains supply off (Make sure the water is properly turned off by trying a tap. Then try running the heating again.

    Depends how much patience you may have. I have cut the fibre washer with a keyhole saw or similar in the past. Once you get a piece of the washer cut out, tap the the rest of the washer out with a thin chisel or old screwdriver. It helps to cut the insulation down for access. Once you get most...
