Thanks...

OK, disconnected infill pipe at boiler end, not leaking but overflow is still leaking. What next guys and gals?
 
ok. looking at a diagram, I assume now it must be secondary heat exchanger that is faulty and letting water into system? Pressure is staying same.

With regards to inhibitors/flush, can I put this in a new radiator before installing? How do I clear the sludge, is it a matter of taking each rad off and flushing through with a hose or something?

Any thoughts anyone? I REALLY want a bath!!!!

Are you really still waiting in the cold for someone to tell you what to do?
 
Well, I dont know if I have answered my own questions, hence the post for advice.

I have to wait a month where I live just for a plumber to have a look at it, so I am afraid I am still waiting in the cold for help :(
 
Ok I'll just focus on the crux of your problem.
You have disconnected the 'infill pipe' as you put it and water is still coming from your PRV. Yes?
With that pipe disconnected the only other close contact with mains water is your Secondary heat exchanger. A break in the plates will allow mains water in [unless someone has mysteriously connected another supply somewhere]. Therefore you need a new Secondary heat exchanger.

The fact that you had to ask how to disconnect a 'infill pipe' does little for my faith in your DIY abilities and is probably the reason why no one else has bothered to reply so I suggest you just wait for a plumber in the interests of your own safety.
