Thanks for your suggestions, Bob,
It's not draining out of the Bilge pump, I know where that drains, on the starboard side, this drains out of the port side, which is near the Calorifier ( now you/or everybody else come to mention it). Everyone else, PRV, is that pressure release valve? Big (ish) Red thing on top of calorifier, well I touched it, no I didn't thump it or hit it with a hammer, now it's 'banging', I would say it was releasing poss due to pressure ;-) as it bangs water spurts out of the port side overflow(? maybe). Need a new PRV?, need a new calorifier? ( I hope not ) How much? difficult to fit?
