    Pump fault/ low pressure light is coming on . Potterton Gas boiler.

    Lossing presure all month. Having to top it up to get pressure back.

    Water pissing out of the cap(not the nozzle on top). Can I get one in B&Q.

    It's an air vent, two spanners and two minutes to replace.

    Easy to replace but you need to drop the pressure in the heating system first or you will get quite wet when you remove the old one!

    Those auto air vents are a nuisance, replace it with a manual key type vent.
