    Motorised satelite dish

    Thanks alot for the reply. I don't think the mrs will go for 2 dishes. I've read some some reviews on the techno mate and they seem good just a bit unsure on the user interface as been use to sky and virgin for so many years. Curious as to what card sharing is ? Also is there any receivers...

    Reundant Leaking back boiler tank

    Can you not remove the fire if still attached and undo a nut on the back boiler or if you have access to panel on side of chimney breast there might be a drain off which you could undo to see if it's still connected.

    Microbore system...8 rads only 1 hot and 1 warm...

    Does sound like an air lock. To be honest your better off just draing system down from lowest point and filling system back up from down stairs to up stairs.
