A while ago I replaced my Diverter valve and actuator. Today I realised my boiler needed repressurising, so using the filler loop it repressurised to 1.0 bar when cold.
But then water started dripping from the diverter valve, I took the actuator off and just retightend the screws. Problem fixed.

BUT...

On the actuator, the little white slider switch that moves back and forth is stuck, and therefore wont let me fit back on.

Is there a way to manually move the switch to allow me to then fit back on?

If it makes it any clearer, it wont let me turn 1/8 clockwise and push onto the spring, which would then be followed by turning back until it clicks in place.

Any help much appreciated!!

is the valve still energised?

I tried everything a few times, but when I plugged in the connector for the 3rd time it all of a sudden started vibrating and then released the switch!
Ah well, all is fine now, it slipped straight back on and my heating is working great.

Thanks for your reply.
