Intermitent problem with hot water sometimes runs warm but mostly cool especially when you want a shower. Have been told diaphram faulty,does this sound like this could be the problem? any ideas out there please

since putting the heating back on after the summer i have started having problems with my halstead ace boiler. the pressure keeps dropping. i have checked for leaks but cannot find any. i have topped up the pressure to between 1-1.5 but within a couple of days it has dropped below 1 again. i have turned the boiler off completely and re-started it but when i checked it again this morning, although it hasnt dropped as much it is still slightly lower-everything else seems to be working normal.

I have a Halstaed Ace High and have exactly the same problem described by Tony.
I had a gas man in who replaced the diverter valve (and charged me £300) this rectified the problem for about a week but now it is back to intermittant hot/cold water when showering.
Is it possible to clean these components myself?
