No hot water,central heating failed!

Hi All

Our water has never been very hot, but now when we higher the pressure, water is leaking from underneath the combi boiler. Now the central heating wont fire up. Does anyone have any hints or tips please.

It's an Ocean Style FF,cant remember when we had it installed, def over 13yrs, the installation book is dated January 1994. That doesn't mean we bought it that year of course.

Thanks for reading

Hi Lynda

My sone had an Ocean FF in his last house (about 7 years ago) and this also started leaking from inside. Chatting to several heating engineers, we were told that they were very old design and prone to problems. In fact, we struggled to find anyone that was prepared to look at it (repairs often lead to further problems apparently and British Gas wont touch them either?).

We did get it sorted (cheap temp fix) but soon after got a new Valliant Combi installed.

Sorry can't offer more positive suggestions.

Good luck.
Phil
