I'll take that onboard. Cheers

If there is air in the boiler pump or HE should that purge/bleed itself out, or do i need to do anything? I'm a little scared that this is the wrong time of year to be left without CH overnight! It's freekin cold out. lol.

So... Here goes... 1) Turn off power to boiler 2) Drain the CH system from downstairs rad furthest away from boiler (with bleed valves open upstairs) 3) Fit TRV's to downstairs rads 4) Pour inhibitor into system from upstairs pipe 5) Fit trv's upstairs 6) Close bleed valves 7) Refill...

Ditto! The previous owners to my house did exactly the same, i ended up cracking the bottom of my bath panel off, flexing the panel extremely until it unhooked from the bottom, then siliconing it up to some sort of a tidy fashion again afterwards.

Howdy all, just bought my first house a few weeks ago and ever since have been trawling these forums for various bits and pieces, as the world of DIY has been thrust upon me! I was just looking for a bit of advice with regards to my central heating/hot water system... The boiler i have...
