Hello, I've got a leak on this part of my central heating, at the fitting (no idea what it would be called, Feed end Fitting?).
Has anyone had a similar issue? I've attempted to use LSX, Plummers Mate evo, and Fernox F4, without any success. I'm considering solder as a last resort, but the position of the pipe makes it incredibly awkward.
 
1. Is the picture is upside down, and if so, is the item with the wire attached part of your boiler? If so you need an engineer to sort it out.
2. The item with the wire attached looks like a thermistor (or similar) for measuring water temperature. If so, soldering near it is likely to destroy it.
3. Is the leak from the elbow at the top of your picture (as displayed) or from the "thermistor"?
 
Is it vertical as ur piccy shows or horizantal and u photo from above chking
It's vertical, the bend is at the top of the picture, with the yellow tab at the bottom.

No, the picture is the correct way up, with the yellow tab at the bottom and the bend at the top. I do believe that is a thermistor, but I could remove it if I drained the system.
The leak is at the "hood" part of the piping, where the two pipes meet (the lip).
