Mend Sime Replaced Rads Boiler

Sime Friendly Format 80e, replaced diverter valve but rads. still get hot?

Boiler: Sime Friendly Format 80e
Problem: Radiators get hot when DHW is run.

I had assumed this was the diverter valve, so ordered a new assy. (part: 6102806) and fitted. But it hasn't really fixed the problem, though it does seem to be marginally better.

When someone has a shower (say, a 10 minute duration) the radiators still get hot. It's as though the diverter valve is only allowing the shower to use some of the heat, and the rest is going round the CH circuit.

Could it be that the new diverter valve I fitted was faulty? Or maybe there is some other part that is causing the fault?

Thanks, Mike

there is still some type of issue with the diverter valve or its actuator allowing hit water to pass into the central heat on dhw demand, more than that I would need to be infront of the boiler
