Hi all

I am having problems with our ARISTON Combi A 24 MFFI boiler. It has been losing pressure and cutting out. I guess it cuts out cause it has lost pressure. An error code comes up E 02. which means 'Pump Protect'. So, I am guessing that to protect the pump it is cutting out when it loses pressure. I have located a leak on one of the radiators and intend to replace it. However I did isolate the radiator, well at least I thought I did. One side of the rad has a TRV fitted. I asumed that when turned to the off position that this would turn the valve all the way down, totally cutting off water into the rad. Is this correct? I ought to add that I did turn off the valve at the other side of the rad too. I thought that this action would stop the system losing pressure and cutting out, but no. Woke up this morning, no heating, no hot water. Re pressured the boiler and when I got back 8 hours later it had dropped right down into the red on the gauge, almost no pressure.
Any help would be much appriciated
Thanks DG
