    Brand new rad, new pipe work, 1st from boiler, doesn't work!

    Where abouts in the house was this flexible hose, in a cupboard near the bathroom by any chance.. Abit of a long shot but could that not actually be a filling loop as I find it strange anyone would remove a rad and fit a flexible hose in its place?

    Toilet whistling and constantly running

    So is it discharging out the over flow ? If your float valve is not shutting off fully then it may just need a new washer, probably easier to just replace though for an amateur.
