    Is your 'gas man' a GSR RGI? Or is he just guessing?

    But that tells you nothing about his GSR status. Check his name on the GSR site.

    Hi thanks for the info I've checked and he is on the gas safe register so I'm a bit more confident he'll find the problem, he's coming back on wednesday so here's hoping ;)
    thanks:)
  • Hi Supermum4

    I have the same boiler as you and it seems we are having a similar problem. It goes off a few times a day and when I check the red light is on so I have to reset it.

    What I have noticed is that the pressure is rising when the heating/hot water is on and it seems to turn off when the pressure gets to about 3 for safety. Maybe have a look and see whether yours is doing the same.

    My OH has bled all the radiators and checked for an airlock but it is still happening so looks like a gas engineer callout for us too.

    Hope you get it sorted.
