That's what you get if you don't keep the pressure relief valve serviced.
Help identifying calorifier please

The PO put it down to frost damage over the winter due to an unemptied tank?

The ones to the right of the picture with grey insert rings - push the ring and the pipe together inwards towards the fitting to get the steel internal teeth to let go of the pipe. You can get a little C-shaped plastic tool to help hold it all the way in, all the way round, which is necessary to get it to disengage. Maybe pick one up at Wickes or B&Q if you're there anyway, but should be able to do it by hand if not.
The other ones I don't know. It's possible they don't have a release mechanism at all and will have to be cut off and replaced.

I don't know whether you've sourced your calorifier yet.
I got mine, which looks like yours (but not bursted I hope!) from these people.

There's no picture on the website but if you sent them a pic of yours with approx dimensions they could tell you if the one they sell is the same.

Thanks
As you say without the pics on site, it is a little unclear.
Pretty sure now mine is a cleghorn waring version (now c warm) - probably very little difference between one copper cylinde 20 lt capacity and another. My boat is a 33 footer pretty big internal volume so I am debating at present whether or not it is worth upgrading to the twin coil version for the added input of a diesel heater at some stage.
