Mend Ariston microgenus 27 mffi Boiler Central Heating Safety Valve

ariston combi boiler?

My Ariston microgenus 27 mffi.is losing pressure through the safety valve(3 bar). when the central heating is on the pressure gauge rises to 4 bar and the water is released.the system then has to be re-filled daily .adjusting the CHW knob to minimum helps ,but the pressure still rises to over 3bar .Operation of domestic water supply is fine.any ideas of where to look for this problem will be appreciated .

expansion vessel lost charge,new exp valve will probably be required, contact good corgi engineer.

expansion vessel has zero charge, could be flat but more than likely knackered
