You are supposed to get the expansion vessel air charge checked minimum once a year when boiler is serviced.
Remember you can't open the gas boiler or work on it unless you are gas qualified.
Separate expansion vessel is a different story.

The gas guys are lazy best its only us oilies that check the ev on a service

Tell me about it! :smile: I am overworked sometimes on oil. I wish all I had to do is service or replace them wee easy gas boilers.

The gas stuff may a bit technical.:Angel_anim:

I must admit the gas stuff must be very technical. That's probably why I have to tell people where their gas engineers failed. :smile:
That Goose bloke is a gas engineer and seems to be lost in the complexity of basic oil stuff. :grin:

I would love to see you sorting an oil twin vapour burner rayburn nouvelle in less than 3 hours on a standard service, or 3 days if you've not got a manual

I've had a look on other forums, and it's quite simple.

great, next time I am asked I will give them your number, there aren't that many out there (Aga trained or not ) that will go near them the powermax of range cookers, but a lot lot worse..................

Oil is for kids. Afaiac if you can do a 12000 service on ya corsa you can work on oil.

Heating runs on mobil 1 right ???

7am update, heating on for 1hr, 1-degree outside..............no improvement. rads 65-degree throughout house, problem 2 still at 50. Going to kick out theem with a mallet when I get back from work tonight

7:30am - 52 lounge, 55 bedrom, coming up but slowly as other rads in system start shutting down on thier TRVs as rooms reach temps...........downside of all this is I now have a boiler pressure of 2.7bar!!!!!!!!!1 up from 1bar cold. Clearly increasing pump speed to 3 with current lockshiled settings (most are throttles way down) is raising boiler pressure.......or coincidental problem with EV pressure (which you say I cannot touch evn thought shraeder valve can be seen at back / top of boiler).

Not sure how fast the boiler pressure came up this AM, will get wive to turn on heating from cold this afternoon and watch gauge for 10-min to see if it shoots up (indicating EV issues) or rises slowly over an hour, indicating lockshileds too far shut on too many rads issue

Next step - open lockshileds downstairs more to reduce system resistance and max boiler pressure on pump 3 setting, or just call out an engineer (I know!)
