Leaking valve on Ravenheat CSI 85

[NinaS]

Hello all,
I am usually just a reader of this forum but have a question I need help with so I hope someone can.

My 3 way valve on the CSI 85 has started to leak from the pin that triggers the microswitch. I replaced the whole valve just over a year ago a don't want to really do that again. I read there is a gland nut fixing kit which I can get a hold of. But I'm looking for some advice as to how the replacement is done.

Will I have to open the valve or does the seal come out where the pin is? And do I need any more seals to do the job? Any help would be appreciated. I know a gas engineer who can do this for me but his Ravenheat experience is pretty much zero and he's saying I need to replace the whole valve again but I hope that's not the case.

Thank you all in advance for reading this book

Nina

Well the only advice we can give is don't mess with boiler and get a gas engineer to do the job properly
