Ok I’ll see if I can find some bits to check.

Thanks. How do I get those and where from? Sorry im not very technical and learning as I go along. All these replies are really helpful. Honestly. Can’t appreciate them enough.

I’m scared if I turn them all off they will go back to none working downstairs as I’ve had to spend ages trying to balance.

No. I just have a knob to turn one side and the other one with a spanner. Does not have specific numbers on.

Santa did not bring heating today One radiator that has been working the last few days downstairs with all the others has decided to stay cold. I’ve not changed or done anything …. It’s like my radiators pick and choose what ones to go to. I don’t get it.

Thanks. I will do this after Christmas because so far the heating in all but one radiator has come on downstairs the last few times. Some very hot. Some not so much but still warm (mostly up the top) I also keep having to bleed the air out of the one radiator upstairs as it seems to get the air...

I think it’s 8mm downstairs on the new radiator and 15mm upstairs from memory. Think he said about replacing downstairs to 10mm surface level from upstairs radiators. Is this the right place on this photo?

Upstairs old ones which were same downstairs

Yes some are hot to touch to the radiator but the radiator is a mixture of warm and bottom of radiator not so warm. I’ll mention the bypass to him also see what he says. I’m also trying not to have more of a bill on trial and error. So far we have spent £1500 in the last fortnight trying to sort...

So what he plans to do tomorrow will that help? Just trying to avoid repiping the downstairs tbh.

So the big yellow thing is like warm to touch. The cupboard lets out some heat… Also manually playing with valves tonight has helped some radiators as mentioned above but whilst some are mildly warm the others are warm at top but bottom cooler. As mentioned this has been washed and emptied...

Regarding downstairs ones, the radiators were replaced but no change to piping as the valves on old radiators were left on. The heating guy mentioned microbore issues but can’t see how the pipework has been done as it’s in plasterboard and I have chipboard flooring upstairs so he said it may...
