Your diverter valve needs replacing - they fail every 10 years on average on this model. Some last longer some shorter.

Cheers, sounds like that could be it. I'll give him a ring.
@Dramatic_Hammer I have two hoses at the moment. A slightly longer hose would mean I wouldn't have to attempt to contort myself to get under the bath to sort out the leaking coupling.

It wasn't a compression joint that I was screwing the hoses in to. In hindsight I think this was a mistake as the gaskets in the hoses weren't sealing against anything. Now I've thought it through properly I'll redo it with a compression joint. What I could do with for easier access is a hose that's 2m long. Longest I can find is 1.5m http://www.screwfix.com/p/wras-hose-15mm-x-1-2in-x-1500mm-x-10mm/41845#product_additional_details_container Any suggestions?
Anyway, that has all become less of a concern than the fact that my boiler is playing silly buggers. Heating works but no hot water. I think it's a Vaillant TURBOMAX 242/282
Running the hot water tap doesn't seem to activate the hot water. The hot water demand light on the boiler doesn't light up. I'm not getting error lights, just nothing happens.
On top of that the boiler seems to be slowly leaking which I'm guessing isn't a good thing. Any suggestions for a plumber around Harringay, North London? @sacredhart ? Cheers
