		The first guy who turned up didnt have a clue and referred it to someone else who came, did a bit of messing around with the system, fitted a new pump on the boiler circuit and then ordered parts for the boiler (a completely unrelated problem).
		He seemed to think that its pumping over, and causing the ballcock to drip, I dont think he's right to be honest...
		The original dripping ballcock problem is still with me. Although I seem to have narrowed it down quite a bit.
