...and thanks to Bernard too. I missed that one amongst all the other stuff. :D

Thanks again for the advice offered by both of you. I'm wondering what I have started here though... For the record, I have 2 methods of doing it at my disposal now. I'll work out which is best for me on the day.

Cheers! :D

Cheers Joe, I'll have a look and weigh it up when I'm doing the job Thanks, Dave

Hi Chain Daisy, thanks a million for your help, that's massively appreciated. Dave :D

Hi, I have bought a pet friendly sensor for our alarm and I was about to go and snip the old one off and replace it with the new one when I realised this might set the alarm off... Can anyone tell me the correct procedure for changing the sensor? And if I do something wrong will putting...

Sorry, not sure what pressure it's at. My brother is going to have another look today so if I remember I'll ask him what pressure.

Thanks for the answers. Pipework size is 22mm My brother also said on the phone yesterday that it was not possible that they keep filling with air, but that is what is happening! Works fine with just CH on, but as soon HW is put on, it as if something is forcing loads of air into the system...
