I need to tighten the screw which makes the plug pop up, there is no access through the cover, I have tried prying it off and twisting it, am I missing something obvious or just need more brute force?

    My combi boiler keeps loosing pressure & the overflow is dripping

    As the title says, sometimes my boiler turns it self off when it goes to zero pressure which happens quite a lot so I re- pressurise & comes back on all fine (heating & hot water). When the heating or hot water is on, small drops of water comes out of the overflow. Also when I have restarted...
