Hi all, just to close this thread. I have had the 10mm removed and replaced with 22mm. Now all works great. Thanks for all the advice. Warmest Regards. Alex. (pun intended)

Thought so. Thanks for your help. I think it was done by the last plumber just for ease......

Does this drawing make it a little clearer.....

I have a 22mm ring with 10mm drops for the rads. He has taken one of these drops and fed another 15mm ring feeding 3 rads in essence. It's difficult to explain..... Sorry!

Yes, I should have mentioned that I have already done that. The rest of the house is piping hot with most rads only on a half turn.

If so, would the solution be to replace the old 10mm tails with 15mm back to the main 22mm circuit? Thanks once again.

Hi all, I have a unvented central heating system running off a 25kw biomass boiler. I have an issue with three radiators in the house not heating correctly. The flow is hot but the return is warm. The three new rads are on 15mm pipe with reducing down to 10mm on the drop to downstairs. It then...

Hi, I was hoping you could help. I have a combi boiler system and a number of radiators in the house. The problem is with one imparticular, its cold at the top. I have tried bleeding it and some air rushed out but then it stopped and the heat is still only half way up? Any ideas would be...

Hi, yes replaced all bulbs.... basically the black and red cables go into a plastic junction box then all three pendants break off from there independantly. I cant see it being the light, but can the actual switch blow?

Hi all, pardon my ignorance but I am far from an accomplished DIY'r. I have a halagon bulbed three pendant light in my dining room. All the bulbs have gone, I tried to take it down to see if there was a transformer in it but there isnt. Its on a dimmer switch, where should I start? Replace the...

Hi all, Yet another cry for help. I have recently had the bathroom renovated where they replaced the soil pipe, removing the old cast iron one and replacing with plastic. Next to this soil pipe is a drain that the washing machine, kitchen sink and guttering run into. This has recently...

Tony, you are a gent. I have turned the CH off at the termostat and when I turn on a hot tap I get nothing. The only time I can get hot water is if I throw the termostat right up, causing the bolier to fire, then warm water starts to pipe through. In your expert opinion what do you think...

I thought you might say that, I did spend a long time looking for the manual and around the boiler for a model number, do you think you would be able to identify it from a picture? I have attached one in case! The reason I asked is that we had a hot flushing toilet for a number of weeks. As...
