Pressure too high in combi boiler!

Stupidly filled the pressure as it had dropped but now too high and dripping outside! How can I now reduce the pressure? Any ideass?

Have bled a bit of air from the radiators to no avail. Do I actually have to drain water out of them too to get the pressure down?

Help!

Surely the dripping is the emergency overflow and that will reduce the pressure???

Other than that you need to loosen something somewhere to create a leak........one of our radiators has an occasional leak from the valve!

yes it is the overflow but doesn't seem to be reducing the pressure. Shall I try and drain some water out of a radiator then - opening a valve rather than just where I bleed them?

Thanks for reply!

No you can just do it where you bleed them - I would just put a towel down to absorb the water, presumably the radiators aren't hot!

OK thanks cargirl - welcome advice.
