Our old Valliant Turbomax is humming away with the central heating

firing down, but both heating and hot water are turned off at the
controller.

I've noticed that the boiler pressure is over 2.5 bar.

It's an unvented system with a hot water tank and (blue) expansion
vessel.

Am I right to suspect the expansion vessel - it either is failing or
needs recharging. I guess not a DIY job.


Was this ever resolved?
