hello there all
i am a keen diy'er and have taken on many jobs over the years around my homes
i have a couple of things i am not 100% sure off and would like some advice from anyone who many have come across similar situations in their past.
first of all: i have a heating and hot water programmer on my kitchen wall. it is Drayton. Tempus-7
It is chunky and fairly old, i'd say over 15 years old. the problem is, the digital display is fading badly, and is hard to read. i might buy a new programmer and have seen in shops similar programmers but more modern design and look. also a more modern tempus 7 is available.
is the digital display likely to be all that is wrong or will other things go wrong too - and also, if the programmer is battery operated (which i believe mine is) - is all that is required a battery change or more than that?
my second point is: i want to flush out a radiator as it has sludge in it i believe (it required venting a lot and also when bleeding it it has a lot of black water escaping). - the radiator in general has a TRV , but I have heard that these cannot be changed without a trv cap as water will not shut off fully. how do i overcome this problem?
thanks for hearing and reading through my long story!
