How do you release pressure from the SIME Friendly E boiler?
Pressure should normally be between 1.5 and 2 bar. It's currently at 3 and water is overflowing from the system. Just need to know if there's a release valve.
Thanks guys radiator drain did the trick will now run for a while to check everything OK. Could have been the inlet was knocked to on as it's in one of those places.
Thanks again.

Your pressure vessel could be in need of renewal. Robin is correct about releasing pressure, but you can cause p.r.v to let buy.you can also release pressure through venting a rad into a jug.

Just trace the discharge pipe (that goes through wall for overflow/overpressure) back up under the boiler. You will find a brass block with (usually) a red knob. This is the pressure relief valve. Slightly turn and hold the knob anticlockwise to discharge. If the boiler is contantly at 3 bar and discharging all the time check that the filling loop has not been left open or that the shutoff valve is not letting water by.
