OK it's not that desperate, but this is weird.
Have had a towel radiator in the bathroom for 5 years, yesterday the flexible/braided pipe that connects it started leaking and the water ran down the inside of the wall into a plug socket downstairs, not ideal.
Anyway I replaced it and all was fine. Today however the other side has started leaking out of the pushfit connection on that side's flexible hose.
I didn't touch this yesterday and I've pushed it firm but still it leaks, I don't get it. I was wondering if the pressure in my central heating has for some reason got higher than normal? If so can I purge the pressure or something?

I paid £60 for a call-out yesterday for the boiler man. He came, turned the thing to reset and in 3 seconds in worked. Exactly what we have been doing for a day and a half, but by some unbelievable luck, whatever it was that was causing it not to ignite, did so as the fecker came through the door.

Check the washers. If worn, replace.

Check pressure on boiler should be 1.5 -2 . theres 2 taps under boiler ,turn them 90degrees to reduce pressure

If the 'push-in' fitting you refer to uses an o-ring seal it will likely work BETTER with the application of pressure. An o-ring is a 'dynamic' seal and requires pressure to activate it properly. Of course, it could have a nick in it. If it is some sort of flat seal, I have no idea how that would work as a 'push-in' seal. :-(
