No, leave well enough alone as you are now running OK. I am not familiar with that type of PRV as it seems to have a temperature capilliary attached to it, just from a safety aspect ensure that the other side of the PRV is attached to a pipe that goes to waste.

This is what a PRV looks like with that open end going to drain.

I think I might have been on those lines when I reduced temp of boiler. Gotcha re valve, I'm going to progress some of these points tomorrow. I've turned the pump down to 2, which is where I thought it was, and retry.
The two thermostat (control&hi limit) sensors are located where shown, they are in a dry pocket that is screwed into the top of the boiler.
